YOUR CAREER COACH
CV’s & Interviews
Want to get noticed, secure more interviews and feel confident when opportunity comes?
A strong job search isn't just about having a good CV.
It's about clearly communicating the value you bring, tailoring your application to the role, preparing properly for interview and sometimes taking a more proactive approach to finding opportunities in the first place.
I work with clients across Nelson and New Zealand to help them position themselves confidently and professionally — whether you're applying for a specific role, preparing for an upcoming interview or wanting to approach employers directly.
You can choose the support that fits where you are right now.

CV + Cover Letter
Stand out with an application built for the role you actually want.
Your CV is often the first impression an employer has of you — but a generic CV won't necessarily show them why you're the right person for their role.
Rather than simply tidying up your existing document, I'll work from a specific job description and create a professionally written CV and cover letter that clearly position your relevant experience, achievements and strengths.
What's included
Review of one specific job advertisement and job description
A professionally written, tailored CV
Stronger achievement-focused wording
Clear positioning of your transferable skills and experience
One customised cover letter
Practical guidance you can reuse in future applications
The aim is to make it easy for a recruiter or hiring manager to quickly understand why you're relevant to the opportunity.
Best for
Someone who has found a role they genuinely want and wants their application to feel polished, credible and targeted rather than generic.
Investment: $395 | One targeted application
Plus a FREE copy of the ‘Writing Impactful Achievements’ workbook worth $25.

Interview Coaching
Prepare properly. Practise properly. Perform with confidence.
Knowing you're capable of doing the job and being able to communicate that confidently in an interview are two different things.
My interview coaching is practical and specific to the role you're applying for.
Before we meet, I review your CV and the job description and research the types of questions you're likely to be asked.
Then we practise.
Why two sessions?
The two-session structure is deliberate.
Session One:
We'll work through realistic job-specific questions, strengthen your examples and identify where your answers could be clearer, more concise or more compelling.You'll receive direct feedback on your content, structure and delivery.
Then you take that feedback away and practise.
Session Two:
You come back and we do it again.This gives us the opportunity to challenge you with further questions, refine your responses and make sure your examples are landing in the way you want them to.
By the second session, you're not just understanding what a good interview response looks like — you've actually practised delivering it.
We'll work on
Role-specific interview questions
Behavioural and competency questions
Strong STAR examples
Clearly communicating achievements
Difficult or unexpected questions
Questions you should ask the employer
Confidence, structure and delivery
Best for
Anyone with an upcoming interview who wants to walk in properly prepared rather than hoping they can think of good answers on the spot.
Investment: $395 | 2 × 60-minute sessions

Targeted Job Approach
The right opportunity may not be advertised yet, get one step ahead of your competition.
Job boards are only one part of a successful job search.
Sometimes the better strategy is to identify the organisations you would genuinely like to work for and approach them directly — but the approach needs to feel considered, professional and personal.
I'll help you work out who to approach, why they should be interested in you and what to say.
Your support can include
Identifying suitable employers locally or nationally
Researching organisations aligned with your experience and goals
Clarifying how to position your background and transferable skills
Creating tailored direct-approach emails for selected organisations
Adapting the message for different employers
Guidance on who to contact
Practical follow-up and next steps
This isn't about sending the same generic email to dozens of businesses.
It's about making fewer, better and more strategic approaches.
Best for
Someone who broadly knows the type of work they want but isn't finding enough suitable advertised roles — or simply wants to become more proactive about creating opportunities.
Investment: $395 | Strategic Support
