Job Search

"During my graduate years at Duke’s Master of International Development Program, Caroline was a career advisor who helped students navigate career paths both domestically and internationally. She is a highly professional and super helpful person. She always gave the best tips - be it how to make your resume attractive to employers or how to give a good interview - which were extremely useful in helping me determine my career route. I am so grateful to Caroline for her advice not just when I was a student but beyond that as I was between jobs and needed to learn the nuances of job market in the DC area."

"Caroline has a knack for motivating her clients and is able to quickly synthesize information and present it in a easy to understand format. She is a skilled and dynamic career facilitator and coach who is dedicated to empowering her clients. This passion is evident in every workshop, client interaction and coaching session."

"Caroline joined our team as a contract career coach this semester and we have been thrilled with her work. She was a quick study and easily came up to speed with advising on resumes, cover letters and interview prep, as well as internship and job searching in a highly specialized masters program. Caroline is expertly able to convert her wealth of career coaching experience into relevant advice for this audience. She works hard, goes above and beyond to become familiar with new material, and is a great communicator. She's a pleasure to have on the team."

"I found Caroline on Linked in and was initially intrigued by her experience with mid career academics. Caroline was both warm and professional. She was also full of creative ideas about how to approach not just my resume, but the changes I am making in my life. I now have a resume that I can be proud of. I feel ready for my new life. Unreservedly recommend...five stars."

Caroline is a wonderfully creative career coach, who is passionate about helping clients find their way through the challenging maze of the work world – whether that’s a job search or, as in my case, a career transition. She has guided me through her unique series of self-awareness exercises, followed by insightful and engaging review sessions, and she continues to offer me critical feedback as I develop my post-retirement strategy and begin the next chapter. I have found her to be a highly perceptive and responsive coach, but one who is also demanding! The best combination! Caroline is a firm adherent that we get out of life what we put into it – and her work encourages each of us to become - and to live as - our authentic self.

I’ve been working with Caroline over the past year to figure out next steps in my international development career. I had initially come to her for support with the nuts and bolts of the job search, but given I am a married father of four, she expertly guided me to look at how my career fit into my larger life goals and how my goals dovetailed with those of my family. Not only did this challenge my thinking, but it uncovered blind spots I was unaware of; ultimately leading me on a path I would have otherwise not considered. Once the self-awareness work was accomplished, we were then able to revise my CV, LinkedIn page, develop my networking strategy and work on my interviewing skills. Caroline passionately supports her clients and I highly recommend her to anyone interested in taking their career to the next level.

I recently struggled to start my career post-graduation and felt that I was running out of options. As soon as I started working with Caroline my confidence in myself grew and I knew my dreams were not as out of reach as I once thought. We worked together on everything from resume building to salary negotiation. In just a few short months of working together, I have been hired by a great company. Deciding to consult with Caroline was a great investment in my future and I can't thank her enough for everything!

Caroline is the BEST! Her tips and advice on creating a strong resume, cover letter, and Linkedin profile were invaluable! After working with her, I received multiple interviews at top companies and have landed a great full-time job. She took the time to understand my needs and her individualized recommendations were perfectly tailored to my background and career goals.

Working with Caroline has been one of the best decisions I ever made. She helped me develop resume building skills as well as coached me on how to realize my career goals. She is truly excellent in her craft. She was able to help me navigate through uncertainty to begin a journey of clarity and purpose. I know that this would not have been possible without her teachings and support.

Caroline is a standout career coach. She has been my mentor at different stages of my career and has helped me immensely during my job search post-graduate school and 7 years after! Caroline has helped me prep for interviews, practice questions, and think through salary negotiation. During our sessions, she asked the right questions and provided insightful feedback during all stages of the interview process from defining exactly what I was seeking in an organization, to valuing myself when deciding between different job offers and negotiating. I highly value her suggestions, anecdotes, and advice especially because the conversation always felt like I was talking with someone who had my best interest at heart.
