Turn Your Training and Fieldwork into Offers You Want
Coaching for anthropologists and other social scientists applying to graduate school, seeking a job, or building a tenure or promotion case.
Applying to graduate school? Preparing job applications? Building a tenure or promotion portfolio?
I help you turn complicated academic work into a clear, compelling professional story.
Hiring has changed.
Have you?
Three different readers now decide whether your materials move forward, and each one is looking for something the others are not.
Automated Screening
Applicant systems parse your CV before a person ever opens it. Structure and language decide whether you survive the first pass.
Search Committees
Faculty readers skim dozens of files in an afternoon. Your first paragraph has to make the case on its own.
Industry Recruiters
Outside the academy, ethnographic, archaeological, and laboratory skills have to be translated into research, strategy, and design vocabulary.
If you do not translate your own work, someone else will do it badly.
Coaching tailored to social scientists, not everyone.
Grad School Applications
Personal statements, program selection, and application strategy for prospective graduate students.
Search Strategy
Where to apply, when to apply, and how to read a posting for what the committee actually wants.
Job Application Materials
CVs, resumes, cover letters, research statements, and teaching philosophies rewritten line by line.
Promotion Portfolios
Dossier architecture, narrative statements, and external reviewer strategy for promotion review.
