MEET ERIN MELARA, your career coach
Drawing from over twenty years of diverse experience in coaching, recruiting, leadership and human resources within the corporate world and business community, I am here to help with your career path.
I have extensive experience working with anyone from recent graduates to seasoned executives across various sectors including creatives, financial services professionals, retail workers, corporate professionals, and everything in between. Whether you're eyeing a career change, a lateral move, building towards the C-Suite, or seeking to conquer challenges like managing a team or interpersonal conflict in the workplace, I provide customized and personalized support to help you get there.
For those who are job searching, I partner with clients on resumes, cover letters, LinkedIn profiles, and offer interview coaching and strategic guidance, all aimed at simplifying the process, eliminating obstacles, and fostering opportunities. I use my experience in HR to help you understand the “behind the scenes” of the hiring process from initial interview to contract negotiation.
For those who are considering a career change or are experiencing challenges in a current job, I will work with you to reflect, plan and execute the steps necessary to achieve your goals.
