Career coaching

Get ready for your next role in tech, with an architect in your corner

I’ve helped people work towards new opportunities in tech, whether that means getting their first role, changing direction or preparing for a step up. This programme turns that support into a clear process: practical feedback, a plan you can act on and someone to help you prepare. No magic formula and no promises of a job, just focused work on the things you can control.

How it works

A six-stage method

Every stage has a purpose and a useful outcome, so you know what we’re working on and what to do next. The six 1:1 sessions run over 4 weeks.

  1. Goal assessment

    We’ll talk through your experience, what you want to do next and the practical limits that shape your search, such as location, salary and timing.

    Deliverable: written goal brief and target-role shortlist.

  2. Profile review

    I’ll review your CV, LinkedIn and any portfolio or GitHub profile from a hiring perspective, then give you specific, prioritised feedback.

    Deliverable: written profile feedback with prioritised edits.

  3. Planning

    We’ll identify the gaps between your current profile and the roles you want, then turn them into a 90-day plan with practical next steps.

    Deliverable: gap analysis and 90-day roadmap document.

  4. Application coaching

    We’ll focus your search on suitable roles and improve how you tailor applications and contact recruiters, without sending the same generic message everywhere.

    Deliverable: tailored application pack and outreach templates.

  5. Interview coaching

    We’ll practise the kinds of interviews your target role requires, review what worked and what didn’t, and cover how to approach an offer and salary conversation.

    Deliverable: two scored mocks with written notes and negotiation checklist.

  6. Thriving in your new role

    If you land the role, we’ll plan your first 30, 60 and 90 days, including the people you need to build relationships with and how to make a solid start. This leads into the free 90-day support once you begin.

    Deliverable: 30/60/90 plan and post-employment support structure.

FAQ

Practical questions

How do the sessions work?

Sessions are one-to-one over video. After payment, I’ll share a booking link. You’ll also receive written feedback, your roadmap and the templates we work on.

How long does the programme take?

The core programme runs for 4 weeks, with six 60-minute sessions across the six stages. After you start a new role, you also get up to 90 days of free support through 30-minute debrief calls.

What if I do not land a role?

I can’t guarantee a job. Hiring depends on the market, timing, your experience and the work you put in. What I can do is help you present your experience clearly, prepare properly and make more deliberate decisions. I’ll also be honest if I think a role or approach needs rethinking.

Can I reschedule a session?

Yes. Please give at least 48 hours’ notice where possible. Frequent late cancellations may mean we need to use the next available slot, rather than repeatedly pushing the programme back.

What is the refund policy?

Consumers have 14 days from purchase to cancel. If you ask us to start within that period, any refund may be reduced for work already delivered. See the Terms in the footer.

How do I get started?
