“With every coaching session I do, every workshop I teach, I try to bring something new. Not just teach the big idea that thrills but also frameworks and key actionable takeaways so that participants, especially students, can learn “how to fish for themselves” in their career journey.”
Hira Fernando, Coach and CEO, Careerly

"Finally some folks ahead of the curve. Forget the cover letters and mind-numbing resume tailoring. Hira and Trenton have mad skills leveraging GenAI for all that and more! Imagine a career coach who happens to also be insanely good at prompt engineering, also tailored for your job search.
... seriously, imagine that"
H. Schneider, Financial Data Analyst, UBS, Zurich, Switzerland - 5 June 2024
and yes I got the job
After going through a frustrating job search in a specialized Masters in Finance program (I applied to 200 jobs but heard nothing back!), I needed a fresh start. It was perfect timing because my professors had just brought on Careerly. Olivier and Hira helped me quickly figure out that given my data and quant heavy classes, I should apply for data analyst type roles. They then reworked my resume, LinkedIn and a Projects Page highlighting my technical and data-related skills. With this new positioning. and some great networking tips, I got two job offers within 17 days.
