Experience at your disposal

I’m Donte. Between 20+ years of hiring/People/HR experience, thousands of reviewed applications, and countless hours of screens and interviews, I’ve seen plenty of what works and much more of what doesn’t. I’ve hired everything from software developers, designers, and project managers to marketing and People/HR, from interns to executives.

Now I’m leveraging that expertise to help people get the career they want and the jobs they deserve. I create individual-specific plans to get you where you want to go, including everything from resume & cover letter writing to complete industry transitions.

I can’t remove all of the tedium or frustration but I can leave you more prepared, confident, and empowered as you embark on the next part of your professional journey. I’m here to help.

Job searching is never easy

Searching for a job is a slog. It’s scary, demoralizing, isolating, and opaque. It’s also something people generally don’t have that much practice doing. I’m offering the perspective of a seasoned recruiter/hiring manager to help you catch the attention of the person on the other side of the application process.

I can help you pierce the hiring mindset, write a more effective resume and cover letter, and decode what they’re really asking in interviews. I can you find your next job, spearhead your career, and still remain authentic and aligned with your own values. My work is about presenting your best self not pretending to be someone else.

    Job seeker workshops are an extremely condensed version of coaching, done in a group rather than individually. They’re a cost-effective entry into coaching, providing a holistic approach to your career journey, a way to troubleshoot particular hurdles, and networking with other job seekers. You’ll leave with tips and strategies to kick off or reinvigorate your search.

  • Materials Audit

    If you need a second pair of eyes on your resume/cover letter/LinkedIn/etc., I can review and revise to make them more effective supporting tools for your next submission, helping you stand out from the sea of other applicants.

    An audit consists of 1 resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile.

  • "I was in the middle of a long interview process and Donte helped me reframe my previous experiences to tell a more cohesive story rather than just recounting position by position on my resume. I went into my final interview feeling more confident in my experiences, with a plan to show my interviewers how my experience was really catered to the position. In the week between the two [workshop] sessions, I was offered (and accepted!) the position! "
