Let’s be honest, looking for a job can be stressful on its own. Add in a career break - or even a career change - and it can feel downright overwhelming.
But it doesn’t have to be that way!
When you learn how to job search strategically (it’s more than just applying and crossing your fingers!), get clear on where you want to go and own your career break with confidence, you’ll feel in CONTROL of your job search journey instead of leaving it up to chance.

Hi, I'm Laura!
Job Search Strategist, Mom and Writer
After spending nearly 20 years in recruiting and HR, reading thousands of resumes and interviewing more candidates than I can count, I pressed pause on my career to focus on raising my son.
As I started exploring a return to the paid workforce, I faced the same concerns you might be feeling now, "How am I supposed to find a job that fits my new needs AND pivot careers at the same time?"
When I finally got honest about what I truly needed from my next role and built a strategic plan to get there, everything shifted. I landed multiple job offers, a full career change and a position that actually fit the season of life I was in.
Now I help job seekers like you take their job search from stressful to successful!

"From day one, Laura has been an incredible source of support - helping me set the right mindset, clarify my priorities, and embrace my career gap with confidence.
She has guided me in presenting my qualifications more compellingly and approaching interviews with greater confidence. Her HR experience has been invaluable, offering an insider’s perspective on what companies are truly looking for. I’m grateful for her time, insight, and encouragement.
- Veronica Z.
I highly recommend Laura to anyone either returning to the workforce after a career break, or
generally looking for new strategies to assist with the hiring process.
Because Laura has been on both sides of the hiring table, she shared specific examples on how
to boost visibility on resumes as well as tips for the interview process. I particularly found this
useful, and have utilized some of her recommendations on my resume and follow up emails to
potential employers.
