Have you heard the myth?
The dirty little secret that you have to settle. Take an offer that sounds “good”. Follow the standard career path of your chosen major. Or just do what all your friends are doing.
It’s well known that top employers are excruciatingly selective, most managers and HR departments will not reply to your online submissions (so many, so little time), and hiring managers probably will not take the time to understand YOUR unique offering.
BUT, imagine that you’ve identified skills and responsibilities that excite you, that play to your strengths and goals. You target positions that you can confidently speak to and, well, damn, impress the pants off of your interviewer.
The sweet spot.
Where the interview content plus the company mission GEL with where you want to go and be.
This is where the rubber meets the road.
And they…
..proactively introduce you to additional managers and key senior management
..talk about what it’ll be like “when” you join
..mention interesting opportunities to expect, and advice on snagging the best ones
..make you believe it could be a great home for you and your aspirations.
Nirvana.
What if you could..
Identify a path that truly energizes you for your future
Define targets that lead you toward positions and employers that align with your hopes and dreams
Resist a career that will suck the qi from you
Feel confident in your ability to create the future of your dreams. Your best you.
Imagine how different your school year will feel once you have a plan in place after graduation that is SOLID.
And most importantly, thrills you.
- Just two to three hours of dedicated course time each week
- Nixing your anxieties about what you’re going to do after graduation and how you’ll figure it out. You'll clarify what you want to do, and have a plan to execute.
- Clearly defining a professional path that will challenge and satisfy you so you can launch the high-potential career of your dreams
- The freedom to relax and invest in your classes, friends, activities and the college experience without this bête noire hanging over your head
Don’t believe me yet?
Let me pull back the curtain and tell you.
Most students don’t believe they can land that job at a Google, or find that incredible position in San Francisco, or nab that Associate position at KKR that everyone is talking about.
You Can
Students do it everyday. It just takes commitment, preparation and most of all, FIT.
Does this target suit YOU?
Why did I decide to focus on college students?
This pivot was prompted when my daughter entered college and began the (overwhelming!) internship and career search process. Eureka moment! I loved and was incredibly effective at advising my daughter and friends how to strategically approach the process with one primary goal - to become excited, energized new professionals that love what they do.
My priority is your success - and with a huge smile on your face as you crush it.
The End Result?
-
You, no longer an anxious, uncertain or time-starved student struggling to figure out your ideal post-college career plan, but a confident, EXCITED, employee-to-be with a plan!
-
You, secure in your job acceptance decision. You’ve done the work and left no stone unturned. You strategically picked a path that matches your goals. AND, if/when your goals change, you’ll know how to pivot and land.
-
You, confident in your future.
Below are few comments my Career Launch and Coaching students have shared
“Cynthia’s masterclass was straightforward and structured. It told me what to do, in what order and how. I never would’ve dug so deep, and I am so much clearer on my goals now."
“CLM helped me figure out a path. I really had no idea where to look or what I needed to do. Now that I do, I’m excited about my interviews and future. Fingers crossed, but I think it looks really good.”
“Cynthia is a great resource. The Q&A’s are super helpful to get questions answered and hear what others are asking. I appreciate her experience and the ideas she shares - she definitely knows the deal.”

I WANT TO REGISTER NOW
Imagine how much different your life (and mental health)
could look if…
- You had a clear idea of your professional goals and ideals after intentional analysis and research, so you knew where you wanted to focus (at least for now)
- Your interviews were substantial and impressive - you aced them!
- The offers you received were compelling - the roles exciting, the details consistent with your values and goals
- Your post-college plan was nailed - job, start date, path
“I was clear on what I was going to pursue, but I’m so glad I enrolled in the course. It made me step back and think more broadly. My new path is totally different than planned but so exciting and so ME.”
“My mom suggested the masterclass. I had never taken an online course before and doubted it would be useful or that I’d stick with it. She was right! The process helped me understand me, what is out there, and what I need to do to get what I want. This class changed what I thought was possible.”
