Career Coaching

Career coaching is about expert software engineers looking to grow  inside their current company or move to a new one. It's about scaling yourself in a technical domain.

Don't let the term fool you - expertise is grown, not divined. Experts are people who are trying to get better at what they do. If you're here, you're an expert (or soon to be one). This is for you.

What is Guildmaster Career Coaching?

Accountability

A coach can hold you accountable to your goals and help you achieve them.

 

In contrast to a mentor, we're not necessarily experts in the goal you are trying to achieve, but we are experts in goal driven behavior.

Have you tied your values to your goals? Have you broken them down into steps? Are you reviewing whether or not you are successful in following those steps, and brainstorming ways to improve that process?

We can help you with that.

Humility

Taking a humble, active listening approach to your problems is the right way to understand you as an individual. There are systems and methods to become better people, but there is no one system or method that works in all cases, at all times.

The mark of a good career coach is someone who looks for better ways to understand your problem.

After all, you are the top performing Software Engineer, not us. We're not experts in Spark or Kafka; our craft lies in cultivating your expertise.

Portability

You don't have to be looking for your next gig to need Career Coaching.

We not only assist with your resume, interviews, and other skills to help you land your next position; we can also help you pursue a variety of success factors at your current job.

Are you looking to grow your career in your current company? Are you looking to be more persuasive and influential with the technical leaders in your organization?

Resume Review

If you're looking for new opportunities or--better yet--ensuring you're always ready to pursue them, we can help.

We've reviewed hundreds of resumes and know what can help you get your foot in the door and what is wasted space.

We can review your resume for both impact and content. We can also provide copy editing to give it a professional polish.

We advise resume touch-ups yearly, usually around the time you're doing your annual review (if you do those). Any resume we've already done a once-over on can be touched up at a discount.

See a topic or exercise that catches your eye, but you don’t want to pay for everything?
A la carte pricing is available; just contact us about your needs.

Like what you see, but hate virtual meetings? We can do as much over text (email, chat, SMS) as you prefer.
