Career Field: HR Executive, Health and Wellness Industry

Years of Experience: 20

My Career Challenge: My job was eliminated due to an acquisition, and I needed help with my resume, LinkedIn profile, and developing my personal brand. I also needed help brushing up on my interview skills since I hadn’t conducted a job search for almost 30 years – and I found myself in a tough job market in 2025. I wanted to ensure that my brand (innovative, building scalable HR systems, strategic advisor to senior leadership) came through in my resume, LinkedIn profile, and during interviews.

How Coaching Helped: Ellen’s coaching and personal branding expertise helped me formulate a clear and compelling message about who I am and how I could bring my skills and leadership to a new employer. With her interview coaching (and a lot of practice!) my passion came through when I talked about creating high-performing and collaborative cultures and when highlighting my unique background in mergers and acquisitions.

Outcome: I stood out as the candidate of choice in every stage of the interview process, and I was told that over 100 people had applied for the position. My interviewers shared that among the four or five finalists brought in for in-person interviews, my poise and presence set me apart.
