When you are in search of a job, you are marketing a product: YOU. To that end, it is so important to take the time to assess what you want from your career, what your core skills are, and what you can contribute to your next employer. It is not only important to know these things, but know how to communicate them, on paper and in person. I have many years of experience helping people of all levels--fresh college grads, individual contributors, C-Level executives--take charge of their careers. From people 'failing to launch' after undergraduate school, to those experiencing layoffs after many years of dedicated work, and people searching for a more fulfilling career, I will help craft a job application package that will get you the results you are hoping for. My specialities include: -One-on-one Career Coaching -Resume and cover letters -Skills assessment -Interview and presentation skills -Mock interviews -Five stories™ -Salary negotiation -Workforce re-entry -New college graduates When you work with me, you drive the process.

About Indrani
I am a Silicon Valley native, with extensive experience at Stanford University, who has practiced as an admissions and career coach for over a decade. I pride myself on building strong rapport with my clients, using a warm approach and sense of humor. I am a true wordsmith, working with my clients to refine their message and build a package that best represents them. My clients become confident they are putting their best foot forward, and get results! Applying my liberal arts education and masters in counseling, I am able to distill the essence of even the most uncertain client through a collaborative process of interview, coaching, conversation, writing, and polishing the final product. From admissions essays, addenda, resumes to diversity statements, I empower my clients to face the common discomfort of self-reflection until they are able to tell their own unique story. I am also an expert at crafting well-balanced school lists, assessing who to write letters of recommendation, highlighting strengths while minimizing perceived weaknesses, interview prep, negotiating scholarship offers and more--everything one will need when embarking upon the overwhelming process of applying to graduate school. In addition, I have an excellent record of bonding with high school students who are navigating the college admissions process, with an emphasis on essay coaching.
Why do I coach?
I coach because there is no better feeling knowing that I have been instrumental when a student attains admission to their dream school! Working collaboratively through the sometimes stressful and overwhelming process, gaining the trust of my clients and experiencing success together is a wonderful experience. Using my masters in counseling, I can also help my clients get through this challenging time emotionally, helping through the stress with unwavering support and motivation.
