Land the role that actually feels like you, with career coaching that actually works.
Insider recruiter strategy meets soulful career coaching - so you can master the job search without losing yourself in the process.
Meet Your Coach
Professional success shouldn’t come at the cost of your identity. I’m Tara—a Certified Professional Career Coach (CPCC) and Certified Professional Resume Writer (CPRW) with over 10 years of experience as a corporate recruiter. I’ve spent a decade seeing the "inside" of the hiring process, and now I’m dedicated to the human side of it. I blend hard-won recruiting data with soulful coaching to help you rewrite your resume, master behavioral interviews, and find a career that finally feels like home.
Our Philosophy: The Bridge Between Talent and Soul
Most career advice focuses on the Talent—the skills, the keywords, and the metrics. At Talent and Soul, we believe that talent is only half the story. The other half is your Soul—your unique mission, your leadership why, and the human impact you leave on every team you join.
My philosophy is built on the belief that a job search isn't a numbers game; it’s a connection game. As a recruiter, I’ve seen thousands of perfect resumes that felt empty. As a coach, I help you fill that space with your authentic voice.
The Three Pillars of Our Coaching
The Strategic Architect | Professional Resume Writing: Ensuring your ATS-optimized resume meets technical standards.
I don't ignore the technical standards. Because I’m a PARWCC-certified coach and writer, I work to ensure your resume is a high-performance document. By using proven techniques to make you visible to the right people. We master the minimums so that your excellence is never sidelined by a technicality.
The Human Advocate | Interview Coaching: Moving beyond buzzwords to master behavioral interview strategy.
Lets strip away the corporate boring speak. I coach you to stop speaking in buzzwords and start speaking in stories. I focus on Human-First communication—identifying your role as a unique person. We ensure that when a recruiter reads your story, they see a teammate, not a template.
The Empowered Partnership | Career Coaching
Career coaching isn't just about getting the next job; it’s about building a sustainable career. I act as your Strategic Talent Advisor, providing you with the insider recruiter's truth while offering the supportive coach's encouragement you need to navigate high-stakes transitions with confidence.
