Over the last 15 years, we’ve helped thousands of job seekers get their dream jobs in every industry from tech to philanthropy, at the following world-class companies:

Areas of expertise

You can choose to work with us for a specific piece of the job search puzzle (like tailoring your resume to perfectly target the job you want) or you can enlist us to coach you through the entire search until you’ve negotiated the best possible offer for yourself.

Which of the following areas of your job search can we help you master?

Clarifying What You Want

We identify the job titles that best fit you by clarifying your strengths, passions, and relevant experience. Targeting the right job titles results in more interviews, more offers, and the long-term career success and satisfaction that comes from doing what you love.

Personal Branding & Strategic Positioning

Understanding how to position yourself for the job you want makes your entire search easier and more effective. We polish your personal brand so you look your best on paper and online. You feel clear and confident when applying and interviewing.

Crafting Your Story aka “Elevator Pitch”

Telling a good story makes you memorable. It tells people who you are, what you do, and communicates your unique value. We help you craft your story and tell it in a way that inspires others to want to work with you.

Resume Writing

We coach you to design a resume that targets the positions you want by identifying necessary keywords and highlights your accomplishments to prove you have the relevant expertise. Your resume will pass through applicant tracking systems and impress hiring managers.

Cover Letter

Most people dread writing cover letters. We love writing them. We work with you to write a cover letter that makes a compelling case for why you are an excellent fit by telling stories that highlight your unique expertise.

LinkedIn Profile

9 out of 10 recruiters use LinkedIn to find and vet candidates. Your LinkedIn profile is key to networking and being found by recruiters and hiring managers. We give your LinkedIn profile a makeover by teaching you how to use its many features and tools to make your profile pop.

Authentic & Effective Networking

We teach you how to use and grow your network to tap into the hidden job market that contains 80% of all jobs. We give you email templates that you can use to connect with anyone. We explain how to ask the right questions to get referred to jobs. We coach you to do it in a way that feels authentic and builds genuine relationships.

Interview Prep & Mock Interviews

We prepare you to ace your interviews by formulating your responses to the most commonly asked interview questions. If you’ve been interviewing but not getting offers, we can diagnose what’s not working and recommend the necessary adjustments. We give you the opportunity to build confidence through practice in mock interviews.

Salary Negotiation

We train you on the do’s and don’t’s of negotiation strategy so you get the best offer and highest salary possible. We also give you a blueprint to follow complete with example scripts of what to say. You’ll understand your value in the marketplace and feel confident asking for what you deserve.

I wanted to let you know I landed a new job! I could not be more excited all around. I attribute this success to the time we had together, the legendary ah-ha moment, and your helpful guidance. You are truly a success story and made this career transition possible for me. I thought I would share the news, and of course now when people ask I know where to point them. 😁 Everyone I have talked to pointed out that you were truly an inflection point for me and I am forever grateful.

Adrian Klaphaak, Career and Life Purpose Coach

I’ve had a few genuine breakthroughs in my life, in which my life and career transformed into that which I had sensed was possible but couldn’t previously achieve.

The first was about my career. The second was about my health. Both breakthroughs were driven by listening to my deeper self and discovering my purpose.

My first breakthrough catapulted me out of a draining career in management consulting and inspired the creation of A Path That Fits. My second breakthrough led me from being in such constant back pain that I spent nearly half my waking life lying down to now trail running, surfing, gardening, backcountry snowboarding, and joyfully playing with my kids.

Connecting to my soul and purpose brought the clarity and empowerment that I needed to transcend my perceived limitations and walk my true path. I know its power through my own life experience and I’ve also seen this type of purpose coaching bring the same confidence, joy, and empowerment to thousands of clients. I want the same for you.

My purpose is to awaken your soul’s power and guide you onto your true path.

After the 1st session: “Our call was so helpful to me in changing my attitude and giving me action steps. I seriously can’t thank you enough!!! It’s like fog has cleared from in front of me. I’m going to work on all of this over the next couple weeks and set up another session.”

During the coaching process: “I was invited to a 2nd round interview on Monday morning 🙂 YAY! So excited. Thank you SO much for your help! The interview was almost entirely my elevator pitch and a few questions; I’m very grateful I had your help with this.”

Upon receiving an offer: “I was just extended an offer! I am THRILLED and cannot stop smiling. Thank you so much for your help, I feel like I could not have done this without your guidance.”

After starting the new job: “The new job is going great!! Negotiations worked out exactly like I wanted them to. It has been so wonderful so far – flexible, everyone is super friendly and welcoming! They even adjusted my schedule so I work Tuesday – Friday and have Mondays off through December. I can’t believe this is my job!!”

I just attained the best job offer in a career I wanted but NEVER thought was possible, and have an outlook of renewed hope and clarity. Not like what I doing before was bad – but it was just not ME.

Ben
Science Teacher, San Francisco

I was looking to make a career change. I had lots of ideas about what I could do next, but I didn’t have clarity around what I should do. Amazingly, after two months, I was on a clear career path and had a new awesome job offer which I accepted. It’s been an incredible experience.

1What is a job coach?

A job search coach is a professional who helps people with any employment impediments to discover, secure, and keep fulfilling jobs. Their main responsibility is to offer individualized support and direction to their clients so they may effectively navigate the job search process, acquire job-related skills, and acclimate to the workplace.

At A Path That Fits, we are both life coaches and career coaches, and we approach careers somewhat differently. We see your line of work as a venue for you to share your gifts with the world. You may pinpoint your innate strengths and passions and use them to locate the appropriate profession with the aid of our ground-breaking career pathfinding methodology. To identify the best career coach for your needs, speak with Amanda today.

2What is a good job coach?

Job coaches that are successful are adaptable. When necessary, they know how to modify what they are teaching to fit the learner’s abilities or external limits. Successful job coaches are receptive to differing viewpoints. They are aware of and tolerant of personality differences.

3What is an example of job coaching?

A client may start work with a job coach to identify their fears and come up with coping mechanisms. For instance, a job coach might assist a worker who is anxious about collaborating with a new team in learning effective communication, appropriate introductions, and teamwork.

A job ‘search’ coach is more involved in the process of obtaining work or improving your current work. Our job search coaches provide guidance in areas such as job searching, skill development, interview preparation, and workplace integration, with the ultimate goal of enhancing your independence and success in the workforce.
