Danielle Nicholson
Holistic Career Coach for Gen Z
You don’t have to dream of labor! Let’s build a career that supports your whole life - not just your work life.
Career Coaching Tailored to Gen Z
The job market is not the same as it was 10, 15, 20 years ago. The advice that worked for our parents does not necessarily work for us.
You need someone who understands what you are going through.
I know what it’s like trying to start your career in these very scary conditions. Rising housing costs. Unpaid internships. Also AI? And ghost jobs? And job scams? It’s the Wild West out here!
You don’t have to navigate this unhinged job market alone.
Your career is not just about finding a job. (They’re not all great.)
Your career is about building a life that supports all your goals - personal and professional - without burning yourself out in the process.
Together, I’ll help you grow your skills, build your confidence, develop your network, and create a career strategy that is sustainable, balanced, and aligned with your goals.
Sound like a good fit? Let’s talk :)
Coaching Services
I offer a variety of services to support you in your career journey!
If you need something you don’t see here, feel free to reach out anyways. I would love to chat and see how I can best support you.
Check out my Services page for more details on each service.
-
Make a great first impression in your job applications! I can edit your existing files or help you create them from scratch.
-
Once you get your foot in the door, it’s time to knock the interview out of the park! We’ll hop on a video call and practice your interview skills so you can go into your interviews feeling confident and prepared.
-
Not sure what you want to do with your life? No worries! I’d love to help you identify your interests, passions, skills, and goals.
-
The current job market is unhinged. But you’re not alone. Together, we’ll develop an intentional, manageable job search strategy that takes into account your goals, available resources, and current bandwidth.
-
No experience? You can make your own! I’ll help you identify strategic projects to create and showcase in an online portfolio that highlights your skills. Or if you already have projects, we’ll brainstorm how to share them strategically.
-
LinkedIn is a great place to connect with others online, while still having good professional boundaries. I’ll help you fill out your profile and make it shine!
-
If you just want to talk about your career needs in general, or if you want continued support after another service is done, a general career coaching call is a great option.
Testimonial
“Danielle provides personal, exceptional support in career building. I’ve been connected with Danielle for over five years, and I’ve always valued her attention to detail. She has a real gift for taking the key elements of a job description and helping you translate them into your own strengths—making it easy for an employer to see your potential.
When I wanted to apply for an on-campus job, I reached out to Danielle for help. She guided me in framing my resume to highlight my skills, and gave thoughtful feedback to make my cover letter cleaner and more concise. She also ran a mock interview with me, asking great questions to help me feel more confident and prepared. I truly owe a lot to Danielle for landing that role.
More recently, when I was struggling to find the right job fit, Danielle was again there to support me. She helped me stay positive, reminded me of what I bring to the table, and gave me peace of mind that I was on the right track.
If you’re applying for a job you really desire, need help polishing your resume, or just want support from someone who truly cares, I highly recommend working with Danielle.”
