As a Certified Professional Career Coach (CPCC), I'll guide you through focused conversation, practical tools, and AI-supported insight to help you sort through options and move forward with a stronger strategy. Coaching is available through individual sessions or monthly retainer offered at discounted pricing.

Carrie Christiano helps job seekers use AI as a strategic thinking partner while keeping their own judgment, goals, and story at the center of the search. With a background in talent acquisition, recruiting, résumé writing, and career coaching, she brings a practical understanding of what employers notice and what job seekers need to communicate with more intention. Her coaching helps people move beyond scattered activity and build a more focused, informed, and proactive search.
Understand how employers evaluate talent and what makes a candidate stand out.
Use AI to think through decisions, prepare stronger materials, and search with purpose.
Build a search grounded in your goals, your story, and real relationships.
A smart career move starts with understanding where opportunity is taking shape. We’ll look at your target role, industry space, and market trends to identify where your background is most relevant and where demand is growing. This gives you a stronger foundation for making decisions, prioritizing companies, and focusing your energy where it has the best chance of paying off.
Before you move forward, it helps to step back and look closely at what you want, what you do best, and what kind of work truly fits. We’ll explore your strengths, motivators, work style, and career goals so your search is grounded in who you are now. This is where strategy becomes personal.
A job search should be more than scrolling postings and sending out applications. We’ll build a focused plan around your goals, target companies, market opportunities, and the decision makers you need to reach. The goal is to help you move with purpose instead of reacting to whatever shows up online.
The best opportunities often come through people, but networking works best when it feels natural and strategic. We’ll identify who you should be talking to, how to approach them, and what to say once the conversation starts. This includes outreach messaging, informational meetings, follow-up strategy, and ways to stay visible without feeling awkward or transactional.
Interviews and offers are where preparation makes a real difference. We’ll work through likely questions, accomplishment stories, questions to ask, compensation research, and negotiation strategy so you can show up prepared for high-stakes conversations. The goal is to help you understand your value and make decisions from a position of strength.
We offer a free exploratory conversation to discuss your current job search, the challenges you’re facing, and where a more focused strategy could help you gain momentum.
We’ll share some initial guidance and explore whether a customized coaching package would support your goals and needs.
