How it works

A simple process.

    Together you decide what to work on first, so the time goes where it matters.

Is coaching right for you?

A quick way to check before you reach out.

Likely a good fit if you

  • Have a specific interview, profile update, or conversation in mind.
  • Want honest feedback from a recruiter’s point of view.
  • Are ready to practice and put in work between conversations.

Good to know

  • Coaching is guidance and practice. It can’t guarantee an offer, promotion, or raise.
  • You stay in charge of your decisions. Orlando helps you prepare for them.
  • Not sure which focus fits? Start by sharing your goal.

Optional tool

Keep your career evidence in one place.

Career Capital, founded by Orlando, is an app for logging accomplishments as they happen and attaching the proof behind them.

It’s a separate product with its own sign-up. Coaching doesn’t require it, and access isn’t included in coaching.

Share your goal, and you and Orlando can decide where to focus.
