In a small group of likeminded peers, we’ll revise your resume, refine your LinkedIn presence, and build a job search strategy designed for your life.

Whether you’re switching industries, exiting outdoor seasonal work, or just ready for something more aligned—this is your jumpstart.

Hi, I’m Emerald!

I moved from seasonal outdoor guiding and trail crew to work as a non-profit leader, writer, and program manager. It all started with learning how to talk about my professional experiences in a way that made sense to others.

My optimized resume, personal website, LinkedIn, and digital presence have generated tens of thousands of dollars in freelance income and opened the door to numerous career opportunities.

Now, I’m excited to help you achieve the same success.

Kelsey Phillips, Outdoor Recreation Researcher

“Before working with Emerald, I was facing challenges entering a competitive job market with what I felt was a disjointed resume and career narrative.

Emerald’s Application SOS Package helped me translate my unique experiences into a succinct but powerful narrative that highlighted my unique skill set and how it could fit specific requirements.”

Refined Work Assets

Outdoor seasonal work = valuable professional experience.

Learn how to refine your resume and LinkedIn profile, showcasing your experience, skills, achievements, and unique value clearly and effectively.

Includes tried-and-true techniques for communicating multifaceted outdoor professional backgrounds.

A Job Search Plan

Chart your path forward into a meaningful career.

  • How do you learn about new industries and career options?

  • What are the best practices for authentic, values-aligned networking

  • How do you bridge gaps in your experience or skillset?

We tackle all of this and more, through an outdoorsy, real-world lens.

Community + Confidence

Into your new chapter.

Career transitions can feel isolating - but they don’t have to.

In a cohort setting, you’re not just learning from me - you’re learning with a group of peers who are also navigating change, uncertainty, and possibility. Together, you’ll share wins, ask real questions, and offer perspective that reminds you: you’re not doing this alone.

How It Works

  • Add your name to the waitlist to get first dibs when new session dates drop. You’ll also receive helpful job search tips via the Unseasoned Newsletter while you wait, so you’re already gaining momentum.

  • Once enrollment opens, you’ll get early access to choose the session that works best for you. Spots are limited (and they will go fast!), so waitlisters always get first priority.

  • We will meet live for 90-minutes per session for a hands-on, focused session where you’ll refresh your resume, refine your LinkedIn, and walk away with a job search strategy that actually fits your life.

  • After the training, you’ll get a recap email with key takeaways, resources, and ongoing support options—so your progress doesn’t stop when the Zoom call ends.

“I was struggling to translate 12 years of diverse summer camp experience into something that would resonate with recruiters. Talking with Emerald about resume tactics and LinkedIn strategy gave me clarity and helped me tighten up my materials.”
