About

Your experience isn't the problem. Your story is. I spent 15 years on the other side of the table - reading resumes and running interviews at companies like TripAdvisor, Experian, and a bunch of AI startups. I watched smart, qualified people lose roles to weaker candidates. Not because they lacked the skills. Because they couldn't connect what they'd done to what the company actually needed. That gap is what I built Career Vision Coaching to fix. 〰️ The system is called The RHINO Method 🦏 Hiring managers think they want a unicorn. You're a rhino - same horn, same legs, just a different story. The RHINO Method teaches you how to tell that story so precisely that the job description reads like it was written for you. 🧭 Roadmap - build a targeted job search strategy around the roles and companies where you're the obvious hire, not just a qualified one πŸͺ Hook - craft the narrative that makes your resume, LinkedIn profile, and elevator pitch impossible to ignore 🎀 Interviews - show up prepared and consistent across every round, from recruiter screen to final panel, with stories that land 🀝 Networking - get in front of hiring managers and decision-makers before the job is ever posted πŸ’° Offer - negotiate the full compensation package - base salary, equity, bonus, and PTO - not just the first number they give you I work with mid-career tech professionals - Product Managers, Technical Program Managers, Project Managers, Customer Success Managers, Software Engineers, Product / UX Designers, and Marketers - with 7+ years of experience. The results speak for themselves: β†’ 250+ tech professionals placed β†’ 60% land a new role within 4 months - average is 95 days β†’ Average total compensation increase: $26K β†’ Roles from $100K to $350K+ across SaaS, fintech, marketplace, edtech, and enterprise tech β†’ Clients have landed at startups, scale-ups, and Fortune 500 companies This isn't for everyone. If you want a resume cleanup and a wave goodbye, I'm not the right fit. If you want a structured job search system - interview preparation, resume writing, LinkedIn optimization, networking strategy, and negotiation coaching - with someone in your corner from first call through signed offer, let's talk. Want to see the full system? https://careervision.coach/the-rhino-method Ready to chat? https://careervision.coach/book-now 〰️ Things I love outside of work: My family (partner, kids, yellow lab); sports (baseball, softball, basketball); games (poker, D&D, Settlers of Catan); reading (fantasy & sci-fi). Always happy to chat about any of these.

Career vision coaching

Head Coach | Founder

Oct 2021 – Present Β· 4 yrs 6 mos Β· Sharon, MA Β· Hybrid

  • 250+ mid-career tech professionals placed in roles from $100K to $350K+. Average time to first offer: 95 days. Average total comp increase: $26K.
  • I built Career Vision Coaching after 15 years on the other side of the hiring table - reading resumes, running interviews, and making offers at companies like TripAdvisor, Experian, and several AI startups. I watched qualified candidates lose roles to weaker ones over and over again. Not because of their experience - because of how they were telling their story.
  • That gap is what I help people fix.
  • Every client goes through The RHINO Method - a five-stage job search system I developed to treat the search as a targeting problem, not a volume problem. Clients get 1-on-1 coaching from the first call through the signed offer letter - not a course, not a community, not a set of templates. Direct coaching on every piece of the process.
  • This isn't "Done For You" or "Easy Mode." The process:
  • β†’ Identify the roles and company profiles where each client is the lowest-risk hire - where a hiring manager looks at them and thinks, "this person can contribute on day two."
  • β†’ Rebuild the resume, LinkedIn, and pitch around that specific audience.
  • β†’ Build a story library and practice until the answers feel natural, not rehearsed.
  • β†’ Learn outreach frameworks to get in front of hiring managers before a role is ever posted.
  • β†’ Go after the full compensation package - not just the number the company leads with.
  • I work with a select client base - mid-career tech professionals with 7+ years of experience across product management, project / program management, customer success, software engineering, design, and marketing. Those who get the most out of the program are the ones who are serious about running a structured search and willing to do the work between sessions.
  • If that sounds like you, the details are in my Featured section.
