Choose the specific piece that needs attention — and have it handled with strategy, precision and a clear understanding of what needs to change.
You may not need a long coaching engagement. You may need the résumé fixed. The LinkedIn profile repositioned. The interview sharpened. The search focused. Or the professional story finally articulated in a way that sounds like the person you have actually become.
Each service below is designed to stand on its own. You can choose the exact area that needs attention and engage Fontaine’s Atelier for that work.
If you recognize your problem immediately, begin there. If you do not, the Private Career Strategy Session is designed to identify what should change first.
A résumé can be factually correct and still substantially undersell the person behind it. Titles can make accomplished people look junior. Responsibilities can bury results. A complicated career can look disconnected. Valuable experience can become a chronology instead of an argument for why someone should hire you.
I examine the career underneath the document first: where you created value, what you owned, how your experience connects, what the next employer needs to understand and what may currently be getting lost.
Then I rebuild the résumé around that story.
A résumé that does not merely document where you have been. It makes the case for where you belong next.
Begin My Résumé →Someone can encounter your profile before you ever know they are looking. If your headline is simply your current title, your About section is generic, or your strongest expertise is buried, that person is forming an opinion from an incomplete professional story.
I approach LinkedIn as a professional positioning asset — not an online copy of your résumé. We determine what someone should understand about you quickly, what language supports the opportunities you want and how the profile can sound authoritative without sounding manufactured.
The goal is for LinkedIn to work even when your résumé is not in the room.
Someone who finds you should not have to work to figure out why you are interesting. Your profile should tell them.
Reposition My LinkedIn →Careers rarely unfold in a perfectly straight line. You changed industries. Took an unexpected opportunity. Accepted a title that does not fully reflect your capability. Built expertise across several disciplines. Or accumulated so much experience that answering “Tell me about yourself” became harder rather than easier.
The facts can all be impressive while the person listening still has to connect them.
I look for the thread running through your career — the capabilities, decisions, accomplishments and patterns that explain who you are professionally and what you bring to the next organization.
Then we give you language for it. Not a canned elevator pitch. A professional narrative that sounds like you on your very best day.
You stop trying to explain your résumé. You know how to explain yourself.
Build My Professional Narrative →You may qualify for several kinds of roles. You may be considering a pivot. You may know you have outgrown your current position without knowing what the next level should be called. Or your search may be so broad that your professional story changes with every application.
We stop beginning with job postings and begin with you. I examine your experience, strengths, commercial value, interests, constraints and longer-term direction to identify the roles that make strategic sense — not simply the roles you are technically qualified to perform.
Instead of asking, “What should I apply for?” you know what you are building toward.
Clarify My Direction →It is extraordinarily easy to become busy looking for work: save twenty jobs, apply to twelve, change three words on the résumé, refresh the inbox and repeat.
A month later, you may have done enormous work without learning whether you are pursuing the right companies, reaching the right people or spending your time where you have the greatest probability of being noticed.
We turn the search into a campaign. I help you determine where your effort belongs: the roles, organizations, channels, relationships and activities most likely to move the search forward.
Less random activity. More deliberate movement.
Build My Search Strategy →The Private Career Strategy Session is the place to begin when you know something is not working but you are not yet sure whether the issue is your materials, positioning, target role, search strategy, interview performance or something else entirely.
“Network more” is not a strategy. Who? Why them? What do you say? When do you follow up? How do you build relationships without sounding transactional or sending awkward messages to strangers asking for favors?
We make networking specific. I help you identify the kinds of people and relationships that can actually influence your search, then create an outreach approach that feels natural, intelligent and appropriate to your professional level.
The goal is not collecting contacts. It is creating conversations.
You stop “networking.” You start building the right professional relationships.
Build My Outreach Strategy →You know the answer, then somebody asks the question. Suddenly an accomplishment you have explained beautifully before becomes a three-minute detour. You undersell something important. Over-explain a transition. Forget your strongest example.
Interviewing is not simply answering questions correctly. It is knowing what you want them to understand about you before the conversation ends.
We prepare around the actual opportunity whenever possible. I examine the role, the organization, what they are likely trying to determine, where your candidacy is strongest and where they may have questions. Then we develop the stories, evidence and language you need.
You do not walk into the interview hoping they discover why you are right for the role. You know how to show them.
Prepare Me for the Interview →The title sounds better. The company is exciting. The recruiter is enthusiastic. The salary may be higher. And suddenly the question becomes: Should I take this?
Career decisions become much harder when you are standing inside them.
We evaluate the opportunity for what it actually is — not simply how exciting it feels today. I help you examine the role in the context of your larger career, what it gives you, what it costs you and what accepting it is likely to make possible next.
Not simply, “Is this a good job?” but: “Is this a good move for me?”
Evaluate My Opportunity →After weeks or months of trying to be chosen, an offer can create enormous pressure to simply say yes. Salary gets most of the attention, but the real decision can include title, bonus, flexibility, benefits, start date, review timing, scope and other terms.
We examine the offer as a whole. We determine what matters, what is reasonable to address, where you may have leverage and how to have the conversation professionally.
This is not about negotiating for the sake of negotiating. It is about understanding what you are accepting before you accept it.
You make the decision from information and strategy — not from the adrenaline of finally receiving an offer.
Review My Offer →You can leave a career conversation feeling motivated and still wake up Monday morning wondering what, exactly, you are supposed to do first. Large goals become overwhelming when everything feels equally important.
We translate the objective into the next 90 days. Not an inspirational worksheet. A practical sequence of priorities, actions and milestones built around your actual career objective.
You do not leave with more ideas. You leave knowing what to do next.
Build My 90-Day Plan →You know something is not working, but you are too close to your own career to diagnose it objectively. Maybe it is the résumé. Maybe the positioning. Maybe the target role. Maybe the interview. Maybe the strategy is sound and one specific thing is getting in the way.
Give me the career, the materials and the problem. I will review them before we meet. Then we spend an hour together identifying what is actually happening and what I believe you should do about it.
Designed for diagnosis, direction and immediate strategy. This service does not include a complete résumé or LinkedIn rewrite, extensive document editing, ongoing interview preparation or continued coaching.
You do not have to buy everything. You can begin by finding out what you actually need.
Begin My Strategy Session — $250 →If you are an executive, founder or senior leader navigating a significant transition, confidential search, repositioning or highly specific professional objective, an à la carte service may not be the appropriate place to begin. These engagements are individually scoped.
A deeper positioning engagement for senior leaders whose next move requires more than a rewritten document. We clarify the executive identity, evidence, value proposition, narrative and professional language that should travel across every career touchpoint.
Apply for Executive Positioning →For leaders pursuing opportunities that may never appear in a public job posting. We identify the organizations, decision-makers, recruiters, relationships and deliberate outreach pathways most capable of opening the next door.
Apply for Outreach Strategy →For complex transitions requiring multiple forms of support: positioning, materials, opportunity strategy, networking, interview counsel, offer decisions and private strategic guidance over time.
Apply for a Private Engagement →Select the service that matches the problem you want solved.
Complete the focused intake and provide the relevant materials.
