Need career help?
Thinking about bringing in a professional?
Hi, I'm Maureen Nelson, a career counselor / coach and resume writer. I'm based in the San Francisco Bay Area, and work mostly with clients from the Concord, Walnut Creek and Pleasanton areas, but I work virtually over Skype with people from all over the country. I've worked with hundreds of clients from walks of life (scroll down to get an idea).
These are typical career challenges my clients come to me for help with and these are the ones I believe coaching can be most effective for:
- Job hunting
- Changing careers
- Finding satisfying work
- Getting ahead in your career
Over the years, I've helped many people make successful career transitions, land great-paying jobs, and climb their personal career ladder. I am a career changer myself — having transitioned from publishing to coaching — and I can help you:
- Figure out your unique gift to the world
- Identify careers that help you act out that gift
- Go after those careers with my proven "guerrilla" job-search techniques
As your partner in career success, I provide coaching that is
always customized and practical. That's because I really listen to my clients.
I've interviewed people in hundreds of occupations and I make a point of following labor market trends in order to share my knowledge with my clients. I regularly interview recruiters and I am a hiring manager myself.
I know what employers want.
Whether you're trying to discover a career for the first time, or for the second half of life, I can guide you through process. I've worked with hundreds of clients and receive consistently positive feedback.
Here is a sample of the kinds of people I've helped:
