WHO I WORK WITH

The Caffeinated Career is for you if:

  • You’re tired of getting nowhere in your job search
  • You want to change roles or careers, but aren’t sure how to frame your experience
  • You’re overwhelmed by all the advice out there and not sure what actually works
  • You struggle to showcase your worth and tell your story — whether on paper or in interviews

You know it’s time for a career reset or relaunch. Whether you are seeking a role after a long break in employment, returning to work after prolonged illness or injury, a parent reentering the workforce after your family leave, or entering a new field after early retirement from another — I’m here to help you get to where you want to go next.

You have undeniable skills and have worked hard in your sector — whether you are military, police or a public servant. Maybe you want to prepare for the private sector, or just want to work with someone who understands where you’re coming from. It is true — not every government skill translates easily into civilian or corporate life. So let me be your interpreter. Together let’s highlight your experience in a way that clearly showcases your value when it comes time to come home or move into the private sector.

You want to make your story shine — for where you are today. It’s often easy for you to see the big picture for the company, the team, or the product, but when it comes to honing in on your own brand, you may struggle. That’s where I can help. Let’s craft your uniquely targeted professional brand that grows buzz, clout and following.

You want to level-up your story to match your next role. Your team is thriving and profit is up because of your leadership and influence–but how does that translate to your next position? Together, by highlighting your SUPERvisory skills, we will help you shine as “promotion material.”

You might have little work experience in your desired field, but still want to set yourself up for success. No problem. I understand how to highlight your life experience and translate it into relevant work skills and qualifications. Together, we will help you identify and present your talents, transferable skills, and education to make it clear you are the right candidate for the roles you want.

WHY WORK WITH ME?

  • My expertise is storytelling. Having worked in publishing and marketing as a writer and editor for many years, I take what are often disjointed career decisions and strategically weave them into a narrative that is easy to understand and highlights your unique abilities.
  • Happy clients (and plentiful 5-star reviews). My clients will tell you that I aim to earn your five-star rating every time. With over 20 years of career services experience (and millions of cups of coffee), I have worked with professionals in every stage of their career, crafting just the right blend of services to help you find the right career path, job opportunity, or professional message to get you to your next level.

Take your daily grind from sluggish to super charged!

Together we can put the pep back in your professional step. Book a call today to get started.

What my clients say

I lost my job due to a reorganization – completely blindsided: and, yes, panicked. I knew the first thing I had to do was to write my resume… I sent Kate a hot mess of a resume and she consulted with me. 

She turned it into magic…I am up for several opportunities and it’s thanks to her. I get so many compliments on my resume. One headhunter told me it was the best that [he came across]…

Go with Kate. You WILL not be sorry. It’s not just her talent in creating a resume…but really calm you. I am so proud to write this review. She more than deserves it.

Donna Zukowski

Kate turns resume writing into an art form.

Through a single conversation of incisive questions and empathic listening, Kate was able to reshape my resume into the story of my passions and professions.

Her attention to detail is as discerning as any storyteller. I am so grateful for my time with Kate.

The Caffeinated Career is a gift.

Cate Yu
Arts Director & Writer

I contacted Ms. Stephenson to update and refine my resume.

She was a pleasure to work with - very intuitive, personable and professional.

I was very pleased with both the end result and how quickly it was delivered.

I highly recommend The Caffeinated Career!
