What are you doing after college?
You don't need to know yet. But you can start figuring it out.
Internships are competitive. The job market is rough. Career paths are changing.
You don’t need to have your whole career figured out.
You do need to know how to make the next smart moves.
Audrey Zelda Coaching provides individualized professional development advising for
college students and recent grads who want to start now.
Somehow, you’re supposed to figure out what you want to do, find opportunities, build a network, and know how to get hired, all while passing your classes.
Does any of this sound familiar?
You’re talented, but could be using your time more strategically to build toward a career.
You don't know what kinds of jobs actually fit your interests, skills, or major.
You keep hearing that you should “network” but don't quite know how to be most effective.
You could use support refining interview skills and application materials.
You have a resume, but aren't sure whether it's actually working for you.
You’ve been looking and applying, but haven’t heard back.
You’re not sure of the best way to approach different sectors.
You have several possible paths and no idea how to choose between them.
"Clear, direct, and personalized. Audrey completely changed how I approached my applications and interviews."
I provide tailored, individual career advising services for young adults navigating internships, career exploration, job searches, networking, applications, interviews, and translating academic skills toward building a work life.
This isn't about pretending the current job environment is easy. It isn’t.
It's about knowing what you can control and where to find information, building relationships, exploring possibilities, pursuing opportunities, and adjusting when something doesn't quite work out or totally bombs.
Start before you need the job.
Depending on what you need, we may work on effective strategies for:
Finding and evaluating opportunities
Networking and informational conversations
Resumes, cover letters, and applications
Interview preparation and practice
Talking about your experience and strengths
Graduate school and fellowship exploration
Decision-making, organization, and follow-through
Why Work with Audrey?
I'll support you with concrete skills and practice, mindset practices, and benchmarks for exploring options and opportunities, finding the right people to talk to, submitting strong applications, asking better questions, presenting what you have to offer to different audiences, and deciding what to do next. You may open doors you didn’t know were there.
For more than 10 years, I've advised hundreds of students and graduates and designed and taught master's-level professional advising curricula. I've helped students navigate internships, job searches, graduate programs, fellowships, interviews, networking, and major decisions about what comes after a degree.
Now, I bring that experience to individualized personal advising packages built around each client that are practical, straightforward, and actionable.
