From One Adventurer to Another
TESTIMONIALS
Abby Wetzel, Operations Professional
I would recommend Emerald’s career support to anyone looking for the skills to write their own resume and really dig deep into themselves and what they have accomplished and what they provide to an employer.
I went from feeling like I didn't have a lot of valuable skills to looking at them on paper and thinking, “Look at all I have done!” If you are hesitating, know it is worth the investment.
Take that leap into the next chapter of you!
Jessie Longe, Corporate Launch Specialist
I wish I’d reached out sooner! For months, I applied to jobs with limited success. I thought I could do it all on my own—but of course, once I asked for help, things changed dramatically.
Emerald’s background in guiding, combined with her deep knowledge of the interview process and corporate world, is absolutely invaluable. I felt seen, validated, and energized to learn the tools I needed to land my dream job. Worth every penny!
Aranka Hoosein, Operations Director
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.
Garik Asplund, Full-Stack Software Engineer
Emerald’s kind, inquisitive calls helped me understand my history better in order to approach my future with more poise and purpose.
What I appreciated most was her laying the groundwork and setting up systems, like those found in her workbook, that make you take pause and assess where you truly are.
I would recommend Emerald’s career support to anyone looking for guidance during major work changes, even seemingly orthogonal ones!
Elena Florjes, River Guide
Transitioning from the outdoor seasonal niche to the broader job market felt fairly overwhelming, and I reached out to Emerald for help to make the jump more approachable.
Her coaching package was incredibly helpful in developing a clear story of my professional background and honing in on what I'd like to move towards next ! I especially appreciated the help reframing my outdoor experience to be relevant to the wider range of jobs I am now exploring. I recommend her to anyone seeking support in their career transition!
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 support 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.
Miranda Ryder, Communications Professional
After a year of searching for a job, my energy was nearly depleted. In my search for a resume writer, I found much more in Emerald. She quickly became a confidant, someone with whom I could be raw and real with. Emerald helped me identify the areas where I was stuck and gave me the confidence to take things slower and more intentionally.
In addition to this intrinsic energy boost, she is one of the most organized people I have ever worked with. Her clear and kind communication is something I will always remember. I look forward to recommending her to anyone else who is feeling stuck and needs a seasoned guide.
Bailey Kose, Project Manager
My confidence in my own skills improved because Emerald helped me understand how to commodify the things I’ve done in seasonal work to match the lingo in job descriptions and applications.
My resume drastically improved, my confidence in applying skyrocketed, and ultimately I did land a new job!
Grace Lemen, Interpretive Park Ranger
Emerald’s coaching gave me insight and clarity about my past careers and reassured me that my time in seasonal roles was absolutely setting me up for my next full time role. Specifically, her guidance on how to tailor my resume and cover letter for individual jobs–in an efficient way–made the entire application process feel less daunting.
Because of her support, I’ve been able to apply to more positions with confidence and personalized applications. This has led to multiple interviews!
Jonas Seiler, Outdoor Guide & Small Business Owner
Emerald’s experience and steady assurance have already boosted my determination to become more fluent in the job application process.
Her attention to detail, personalized recommendations, and continued support have been essential to my revamped resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn.
Sarah Mallory, Outdoor Guide
Emerald is personable, approachable, and clear with her services. She didn’t leave me questioning or wondering if I was doing it right.
Her coaching is a great resource for making that step away from full-time guiding and into the next career. The process of receiving feedback on my resume, cover letter, and application prompts was extremely easy, quick, and effective.
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.
