Modern Job Transition Assistance
Laid-off, fired or a quit toxic workplace? It's not easy. I help you dig out.
I don't just support job change.
I listen, counsel, sharpen job search tools, and educate.
" I was laid off. There wasn't any help to ease the shock.
So, I've devoted my own career to helping those affected by layoffs & sudden job change."
-Adam Marinelli, Career Counselor & Owner of DIYCareerGuy
Real Support for
Job Changers...
No cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all approach
No bootcamps, assessments or inventories. Most know what they're good at & need help clearly showing it to employers. I help every individual.
Mythbusting that helps, not confuses Job Seekers
Too many career services providers are giving misguided, often harmful job search advice. A resume's goal is not to be "ATS Compliant" & bypass robots. Recruiters review resumes and we know this as experienced HR professionals!
1:1 Career Counseling, Check-ins
Everyone copes differently with job loss and has different career goals. I meet individuals where they are in their grief and help put plans into action. And I check-in often because know how it feels to be forgotten!
No promise of "dream jobs"
I can't guarantee everyone gets hired or finds a "dream job." That's unrealistic. So I help set realistic goals like increased Recruiter visibility & securing calls.
I Sharpen Job Search Tools & Educate
Resumes, LinkedIn, Search Strategy & Portfolio Reviews are a few critical elements of a cohesive job search plan. I also educate on the hiring process, recruiting, networking & help leverage AI-assisted career research so you feel empowered to "DIY" in the future.
