After two years of trying to land the right role, Katrina helped me do it in just ONE MONTH. I honestly don't have the words to capture the impact she's had on my career. She's easy to talk to, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable about the market. More importantly, her insights go far beyond anything you can Google. Katrina used her deep understanding of the space to help me narrow my search to roles that truly fit my background, then tailored her coaching to my needs at each step. I really found her personalized approach (vs. the one-size-fits-all model you find elsewhere) made all the difference. read more

For a few months, I was struggling with my job search in applying, interviewing, but nothing ever landed. That's when I decided to meet with Katrina. From our first meeting, Katrina's approach stood out to me with her expertise in HR and recruiting. What makes her really stand out is that she took the time to understand my goals, strengths, challenges, and get to know who I was as a person. I appreciated her giving me direct feedback for areas to improve and kudos when it was due. This was all paired with her sharing of knowledge in the ever-changing job market. With her guidance, she helped tailor my resume, improved my interview skills (which was much needed), and I gained more confidence throughout the search. She also helped me with my "professional story" to enhance all the work I've done in a impactful, meaningful, and succinct way to communicate. By the end of the month working with Katrina, I landed a job offer for a role that was my #1 choice that aligned with my skills and aspirations! I'm incredibly grateful for Katrina's expertise and support. Her coaching made all the difference and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking career guidance. I look forward to working again with her someday! Thank you, Katrina! read more

When the company I work for gave me a leadership role, Katrina was right there to help me create a job description for myself that would give me structure in the short term & be a tool to guide my resume when I'm ready to make a move.

Katrina is quick, efficient and extremely helpful! She helped me format a phenomenal resume and cover letter. Throughout my years - I refused to use a cover letter because they all sounded so cheesy and didn't really describe my years of hard work. In such little time - Katrina whipped up something amazing! Everything she formatting and formulated was very well articulated - Her services and feedback is WELL WORTH IT. I really recommend her and WILL be referring her to my fellow job searchers as well. THANK YOU KATRINA! read more

Katrina is a wonderful coach. She really listens to clients needs to accurately assess their desires and strengths. She understands where the individual is coming from and takes into account what they could potentially thrive in. Very great experience. read more

Katrina is my lighthouse for career advice. She has a unique mixture of empathy, humor, and strategic thinking that was crucial in taking me from a place of uncertainty to having two competitive job offers at top companies in my field. Katrina was critical in identifying and distilling personal and professional values that brought me fulfillment, which I wasn't getting in my current role. It was time to start exploring job opportunities that aligned with those values. While job hunting Katrina's background as a recruiter was invaluable in helping me navigate all of the tricky things that come with job searches: reading between the lines on job descriptions, structuring a resume, applying, recruiter communications and etiquette, phone interviews, onsite interviews, and offer negotiations. She did all of this while being supportive and encouraging. It felt like I was chatting with an old friend (who happened to have a lot of business savvy). Even in my new role, I still reach out to Katrina when familiar uncertainties creep back in as I know I always feel more capable, confident, and empowered after sessions with her. read more

I recently was up for a promotion internally where I would move from being an individual contributor into a management role. Katrina helped me with all aspects of preparation from building my deck, defining my talk track, and prepping for what questions would be thrown at me. The guidance she provided was invaluable: She identified blind spots I hadn't thought of, helped me be concise with the points that I needed to hit, and overall helped me feel more confident going into the interview knowing she'd prepared me for anything that would be thrown at me. read more

Katrina was extremely helpful with my interview preparation. She was the reason why I got my dream job! Prior to working with Katrina, I was struggling with my job search and had a hard time getting through the interview process. A friend of mine recommended Katrina and after just a few sessions, I saw immediate impact. I was able to articulate my thoughts better and speak more confidently during the interviews. Katrina took the time to read all the job descriptions and gave me insightful feedback to help me prepare. In just a month, I was getting many onsite interviews and even had several offers. I will honestly say that I wouldn't have done it without Katrina's help, so I feel obligated to share my experience. I highly recommend anyone to reach out to Katrina. She is an exceptional coach and a true rarity!! read more

Katrina was extremely helpful in my career change and incredibly responsive to any questions/concerns that arose in the process. Specifically, Katrina helped me 1) prepare for my interview, 2) review employment contracts and 3) negotiate my compensation (which was successfully increased). Additionally, I would note she has a very professional approach to her coaching while remaining very warm. I would recommend her to anyone who asks. To provide some context, I was changing careers from Finance (equity research) to a corporate role in a large tech company where I am now employed. As such, I had many questions about the processes, expectations and tactics of a tech company, having never worked for one before. Thank you for all your advice, and the timeliness of your responses! read more

I've worked for 15+yrs in the Bay Area as a Sales & Marketing professional at reputable and notable companies. I've had a more than satisfying career with upward trajectory throughout, but I still know I have a lot to learn when it comes to navigating my career. I decided to invest in myself and connect with Katrina. Just had my first coaching session with her and I'm feeling inspired. She's the consummate professional and really knows her stuff! Her experience across the various types of companies, industries, seniorities, and roles she's covered is invaluable and really comes through in her insights, coaching, questions, and advice. She's clearly managed and lead the recruiting/interview process at some of the top companies in Silicon Valley and it was super helpful to get her guidance on how to navigate the process and my career next steps overall. read more

I met Katrina after she spoke on a panel and was impressed by her extensive knowledge about the job landscape and how to navigate the interview process. At the time I was getting to the first round of interviews but rarely making it past the first call even though I have many years of experience in the field. I learned Katrina has an a-la-carte offering, where she will do custom interview prep sessions that are specific to the job you're applying to. Since I was in the middle of the process, I was able to schedule a Resume & LinkedIn Review session for the same week and scheduled Interview Prep sessions for the interviews I had the following week. Her guidance and advice were invaluable. She was able to help me develop my career story and resume in a way that told my progression more logically and effectively. Katrina shared methods of answering interview questions that showcased my skills in the best way possible for that particular job. She's very direct and pointed out many things I didn't realize I was doing and gave constructive feedback. I ended up landing the job I was most excited about with Katrina's expert guidance. I wanted to negotiate my offer but didn't know the best way to approach it. Katrina shared best practices and insights into the offer negotiation process that I would never have known otherwise. I was so much more confident after our sessions and was able to successfully increase my offer. Even after I started, Katrina followed up to check in on how it was going. I'm so grateful to have found her as a resource, and couldn't recommend her enough! read more

Highly recommend!! read more

I honestly don't know how to put in words how beneficial Katrina has been in my career path. When I first reached out to Katrina - I had been working one year in a specific industry and I knew I needed a major career change. I explained to her how I was really unhappy in my current situation and I talked to her about the industry/work environment I wanted to be in. To start, she had me send her a list of jobs that interested me and we narrowed down the type of jobs that aligned perfectly with my career goals. Then we built out my resume which completely pivoted the direction my job search was going in. I was no longer sending out an irrelevant resume to jobs that weren't a good fit for me to begin with. I was sending out a strong specific resume to jobs I was actually excited about. I remember specifically telling Katrina I was super excited about one of the jobs I had applied for and before I knew it - I had been asked to interview for that position. I went through three interviews with this company and Katrina was there literally every step of the way. We'd do interview prep before each one - she'd ask me the different types of questions they'd ask and we practiced my answers until I felt confident in myself and my answers. She helped me do research on the interviewers so I went in calm and knowledge because I knew exactly what to expect. This completely pivoted the direction my job search was going in.

When I got the job offer - Katrina was one of the first people i told because it literally wouldn't have happened without her. Katrina even helped me negotiate my salary (something I thought I'd never be brave enough to do). I honestly felt so stuck and lost when I first reached out to Katrina. Each time I spoke with her, I felt more empowered and in control of my career path. She's incredibly patient and extremely knowledgeable about every single step of a career/job change. She really knew me and what I wanted to do with my career/life by the end of our time together. Changing career paths can be overwhelming- but it doesn't have to be. I couldn't recommend Katrina more. The fact that I'm excited to go to work everyday should speak for itself. Thank you Katrina for everything. read more
