Each service stands on its own, and they work well together. Explore any of them in detail, or book a consultation and we will help you choose.
Career strategy & advisory
Practical, experience-led career guidance
Career decisions are rarely solved by theory alone. Peggy assesses your profile, gives you a clear point of view on realistic directions, explains how the market is likely to read your experience, and recommends what needs to change — commonly searched for as career coaching, delivered as practical advisory work.
Job search strategy & coaching
Judgement about where to aim, and how
A busy job search is not always an effective one. Peggy applies recruiter-side judgement to the roles and employers worth targeting, the outreach that actually works, and the search behaviour that is costing you interviews — then diagnoses where your current search is losing momentum.
CV writing & CV optimization
A judgement call, not document production
A CV is not a formatting exercise. The work starts with the roles you are targeting and an honest assessment of your career story: what deserves emphasis, what is weakening the profile, and how a recruiter will read it in seconds. The rewrite follows from those decisions.
LinkedIn profile optimization
Positioning and credibility, not keyword insertion
Recruiters search LinkedIn before they read your CV. This is professional positioning work: what your profile claims, whether it is credible at your level, how it is likely to be interpreted, and whether the right people find it at all.
Personal branding for professionals
Professional reputation and positioning
This is reputation work, not self-promotion. Strong experience is overlooked when the positioning is vague or the story changes between channels. Peggy defines a specific professional position, career narrative and value proposition that holds up everywhere you are evaluated.
Interview preparation & coaching
Direct feedback from the interviewer’s side
The interview is where opportunities are won or lost. Peggy runs realistic mock sessions and gives direct feedback from the perspective of someone who has screened, interviewed and hired professionals — what convinced, what raised doubt, and what to change.
LinkedIn content & ghostwriting
Visibility without the bandwidth problem
Being visible on LinkedIn takes consistency — and not everyone has the bandwidth to post regularly. Talent & Co. writes in your voice, on themes that support your professional positioning, so your visibility reinforces how you want to be understood.
