Coaching FAQ’s
-
Because I’ve spent the majority of my career in client-facing roles, I’m extremely tactical by nature. I invest dedicated time ahead of each session to customize our agenda and I ensure we leave each session with concrete learnings & next steps.
From a job search perspective, I have varied experience as candidate (every job I’ve gotten was from reaching out to a stranger on LinkedIn) and I’ve been on the hiring manager side.
I have a real love of words and my ability to articulate is my most consistent compliment from clients. This shines through in my resume re-writes, 10+ networking scripts accessible to all clients and any strategy session (interview prep, review prep, etc.).

I highly recommend Marnie as a career coach! She was a fantastic help throughout the entire job search process, holding me accountable while applying, strengthening my resume, building interview stories, and celebrating every win, no matter how small. She has great tips and tricks to streamline the job search and made me feel so confident in all my interviews with her interview prep sessions. I am so grateful to have had the chance to work with Marnie and cannot recommend her enough!

I highly recommend working with Marnie. Whether you’re looking to refine your resume, strategize your networking, or prepare for interviews, Marnie is a true expert who makes the process easy to navigate and brings positive energy to your job search. She has an exceptional ability to dig into past professional experiences and highlight the aspects that make you shine as a candidate, instilling confidence throughout the process.

Dana Ball, Senior Marketing Manager @ Xperience Restaurant Group
Working with Marnie completely changed how I show up in interviews. I gained so much more confidence in both my pitch and my storytelling, and I finally learned how to talk about my experience in a way that’s direct, concise, and impactful.
We refined my “Tell Me About Yourself” so it clearly captured the full scope of my background without rambling, and we developed strong, professional stories that focused on the most valuable and relevant parts of my experience. I also learned how to create strategic, customized questions for interviewers, which helped me show up more prepared and thoughtful in every conversation.
Most importantly, I secured an offer from the very first interview we worked on together, which truly speaks to how effective this process was. I can’t recommend Marnie enough for anyone who wants to feel confident, clear, and competitive in their interviews.January 29, 2026

Josh C., GTM @ Dust
I highly recommend Marnie for anyone navigating a job search or a career change. Before working with Marnie, I was struggling to frame my career arc in a concise and digestible way that resonated. After just a few hours of working together on my resume and elevator pitch narrative, I saw an immediate difference in my interview performance, ultimately leading to landing a great job in the highly competitive Al space. Marnie understands messaging and positioning at an extremely high level and can help anyone create the right story that will click with both recruiters and hiring managers.

Killian Serrano, MBA, Sales Compensation Analyst @ AMN Healthcare
I highly recommend Marnie as a career coach! I started meeting with her a little over a year ago as I was completing my MBA. She gave me wonderful tips for job searching with setting up notifications, best practices, and application strategy. We also spent significant time re-writing my resume as I was looking to make a pivot in my career. As I had interviews through out the year, Marnie was available for interview prep to help me be able to clearly articulate my transferrable skills, develop confidence in my professional stories, and provide coaching on my interview feedback for future opportunities. I was able to land a new role and make the pivot in my career that I was hoping for. Marnie's continued support through this time has been invaluable!

Rachel Kleinsmith, GTM Program Manager @ Autodesk
I can't recommend Marnie highly enough as a career coach. When I started working with her, I needed help positioning myself for my next role, and she completely transformed my approach.
Marnie helped me rewrite my resume, and the difference was night and day. A recruiter actually told me it was "beautiful" - not something you hear every day about a resume! She knew exactly how to showcase my experience in a way that resonated with hiring managers.
What really set Marnie apart was her ability to help me see my own value and build my confidence. She has this gift for pulling stories out of you - accomplishments you've forgotten or undervalued - and helping you craft them into compelling narratives for interviews. She reminded me of what I'd achieved and gave me the tools to own it with conviction.
She also helped me create my "about me" intro, which made such a difference in how I presented myself. Having that polished, authentic introduction ready to go took so much pressure off networking and interviews.
If you're navigating a career transition or just want to position yourself more effectively, Marnie is worth every penny. She's not just a coach - she's a true partner in your success.

Jennifer Brubaker (Roberts), Region Executive @ Lendistry
Working with Marnie was a no-brainer when I started to approach my career search. Having been at my prior role for 6 years, Marnie's guidance on how to approach the current market, advice on how to refine my "Tell Me About Yourself" messaging, and real-time advice on any questions that came up during the interview process were incredibly valuable. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a new role and will plan to use her again in the future. Thanks for everything Marnie!

Michelle Nguyen, Operations Account Executive @ Fooda
Marnie and I met in college because we were apart of the same service/Spirit organization. She was bright and charismatic back then and even more so now. She was an absolute JOY to work with when I transitioned roles and industries. She helped me strengthen my confidence and find structure in my job search. She kept me grounded in a good pace with check-ins and themed topics I wanted/needed to focus on like refining my Professional Story Telling. Thank you isn't enough for the wealth of knowledge Marnie has, but nonetheless - THANK YOU! You deserve flowers and gold stars!

Allison Grobbel, CSM @ TikTok
Working with Marnie (October 2025) was an incredible experience. To share some highlights, I was looking to get back into the ad tech industry following a brief career change to the healthcare field in supporting my daughter. Marnie was able to guide me through the interviewing process and I worked to ramp back into the advertising field.
During our preparation sessions, Marnie guided me in how to enhance the articulation of my prior experience and the selection of the appropriate stories while cutting out any "additive noise" to focus on the efficacy of each experience. Marnie assisted with boosting my confidence ahead of the interviews through practicing situational-based questions, and I felt a sense of calmness from the preparation.
I landed 2 incredible job offers; one of which was my top choice when starting the initial interview process.
Thank you so much, Marnie!!

Alessandra Caruso, Associate Director of Editorial, Design & Creative @ Creators Syndicate
Before I began working with Marnie, I was unsure of what I wanted out of my job search. I knew I wanted growth and change, but I was spinning my wheels trying to visualize what that might look like and figure out how to get there. Marnie was a godsend in offering not just resume tips or networking advice, but a high-level assessment of what I wanted out of my life and career. With her guidance, I was able to identify a few different paths that I was excited about.
Her tactical advice was just as game-changing — from resume edits to Linkedln message templates to salary negotiation - and having her emotional support and accountability made an often-discouraging job hunt a lot more tolerable (and even enjoyable!). I have landed a role I'm really excited about thanks to Marnie. I can't recommend her enough.

Erin Pedraja, Paid Search Strategist, Marketing Technology @ Cedars-Sinai
I just accepted a job offer from my top-choice company that was the first interview process Marnie and I prepped for together. I owe a huge part of my success to her! I reached out to her after seeing an old colleague rave about her interview coaching services.
Before our sessions, I was getting stuck and couldn't make it to the offer stage. I knew I needed to step up my game to stand out in this tough job market. Marnie and I had a few marathon sessions where she helped me turn my "Tell Me About Yourself" into a concise and powerful story. We also worked on developing and practicing professional stories, so l could focus on what truly mattered.
I'm so grateful for the confidence she gave me and the insight she provided at every step. I can't recommend her enough!

Kelvin Hypolite, Senior People Business Partner @ 8am
I HIGHLY recommend Marnie! I first started working with Marnie towards the end of 2024 when I wasn't sure what my next step was going to be. I was juggling with the idea of taking a career break, possibly staying at my current organization or finding a new role. Marnie was an amazing thought partner in figuring out my next steps. We updated my resume (which hadn't been updated in 8 years) and prepared me for any circumstance.
I ended up taking a break for 6 months. Over this time Marnie and I reconnected, and she helped guide me on what my values were and helped me determine what to pursue in my next role. When I was ready to start looking for my next role, I found what I considered to be a dream role.
Marnie put me through interviewing boot camp! I rehearsed, developed great stories and ensured the execution of my story telling was perfect. The interview went amazingly and I was given a Senior title without asked. Lastly Marnie supported me on negotiating compensation. Working with Marnie was amazing and she has my highest level recommendation! If you're looking for your next role or for someone to serve as a thought partner HIRE HER NOW!

Marian Thomas, Associate Client Success Manager @ Prompt Health
I found Marnie through her Instagram posts where she provided great free advice. After our initial consultation call, I knew I had to have her in my corner because I was making a big transition from being a physical therapist into the health tech world. Marnie helped me hone in what role I wanted to pursue, translated my clinical metrics into relevant results for my target roles, and provided me a LinkedIn upgrade. She also gave me networking strategies and templates that helped make the job search efficient - as a tired mom who worked long days, it was awesome having a solid step by step plan I could perform for each job application.
With Marnie's support - which included thorough interview prep and practice - I got a customer success position job at one of my top companies within six months. In a job market that has been rough and unpredictable so far, transitioning into another field seemed daunting and I was able to do it with Marnie's focused assistance, encouragement and prep. She even helped me negotiate my final offer and I was able to get 5k more!
I would highly recommend her services for anyone feeling burnt out, overwhelmed by all the advice and needing direction with their job search! The return on investment—in both time saved and salary increase-was tremendous, and I couldn't be more grateful for her role in my successful career transition.

Working with Marnie transformed my interview prep. She's sharp, supportive, and cuts straight to what matters. She helped me refine my "Tell Me About Yourself" pitch and develop clear, focused stories that made answering questions easier and more impactful. I walked into interviews with confidence and walked out with an offer. I'd recommend her to anyone serious about improving their interviews.

Ann Stehling, Senior Legal Counsel @ Digital Realty
Marnie is fantastic! She provided invaluable support to me during my job search and interview process. We worked closely to develop thoughtful questions for the interviewers and hone my professional stories in a way that was thorough but not too long winded. She also provided me with general strategy support on offer decision and leaving my prior role. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Hannah Taylor Bloom, Director @ Mission Partners, Benefit LLC
When I started working with Marnie, I was a solo-preneur considering three very different professional paths. I was putting significant time into pursuing all of them, and struggling to focus my days enough to make significant progress. I felt unfocused and disheartened. Marnie was a gift — bringing much-needed structure to my days, helping me set clear weekly goals, and providing tactical support in resume/cover letter edits and job search tips.
Marnie is empathic and good-humored but wastes no time as a laser-sharp guide and simplification whiz. When I wasn't finding job posts I was interested in, she was there with practical ideas. When a dream job was posted at a title higher than I felt qualified for, she offered honest insights and an unwavering belief in me. When I interviewed for that job, Marnie helped me practice and refine my elevator pitch. Ultimately, I felt more prepared and calm for the interview - and got the job!
I highly recommend Marnie if you're looking for a skilled coach to support a more focused and easeful job search process.

Lauren Elias, Director, Talent and Influencer Content @ Mediabrands Content Studio
I found Marnie when I was burnt out and trying to regain my confidence in the job search. From our first session, she helped me stop overthinking and start feeling like myself again.
We worked together on interview prep, everything from refining my "Tell Me About Yourself" to shaping the professional stories that actually reflected my value. Marnie has a way of spotting parts of your stories that you're 'too in the weeds' to see and helps you say more with less. We focused on getting more comfortable with thinking on the fly and handling curveball questions without spiraling or second-guessing myself.
The best shift that came from working with Marnie was truly in my mindset. I felt more prepared, grounded, and even excited to show up to interviews.
Marnie is that rare mix of strategic and detail-oriented. She's thoughtful, responsive, and goes above and beyond. Highly recommend!

Joanna Pontino, Account Clerk @ Town of Southold
Working with Marnie was truly the best decision I made in my career journey. Before working with her, I felt stuck in my role, overwhelmed by the job search process, and unsure of my next steps. Marnie's coaching gave me the clarity and direction I needed.
Her expertise and organizational skills helped me identify my strengths, clarify my personal values, and pinpoint the roles and industries where l'd thrive.
Marnie turned what used to feel like a daunting job search into an exciting opportunity to dream bigger and envision a brighter future. After every session, l felt empowered, energized, and ready to take action.
Even between sessions and after our time working together, Marnie continued to go above and beyond, always offering helpful advice and support. By applying her guidance and using her Interview Prep eBook, I finally landed a job that I genuinely enjoy.
One of my biggest challenges was answering the classic "tell me about yourself" interview question. Marnie provided a simple yet powerful template that helped me craft a unique and authentic response, allowing me to start interviews with confidence.
If you're considering working with a career coach, I can't recommend Marnie highly enough. Her guidance and support have been instrumental to my career growth and success!

Linda Wei, Business Operations @ Rippling
I discovered Marnie through the Career Contessa podcast and began working with her as I was navigating my next steps in the wake of the shut down of the startup I was working at. I'm so grateful I found her and was able to work with her - she was exactly the mix of tactical and moral support that helped me stay productive and excited.
She was instrumental in helping me with interview prep, negotiation support, and general moral support/ being a sounding board throughout the days and weeks via video calls, emails, and texts. She definitely goes above and beyond to make sure her clients are supported, and she's always super responsive.
Marnie is talented at zooming out big picture to figure out a strategic approach to the search and framing your value prop whilst also being able to zoom into the small details when it comes to crafting and giving feedback on interview prep and negotiation points.
I was able to land a couple job offers in less than a couple months with Marnie's help, both of which I was thrilled about! I would highly recommend her, and I plan to continue working with her across different phases of my career.

Jonna Ramos, Account Executive @ GlossGenius
Working with Marnie was an absolute game-changer in my job search! From the very beginning, Marnie helped me build a standout resume that truly highlighted my strengths and experiences as someone that is a former educator and transitioned to sales. She took the time to understand my career goals and tailored our meetings to position me for the roles I was aiming for.
In addition to building out a resume, Marnie's interview prep was incredibly helpful as well. Marnie guided me through tough questions, giving me the confidence and clarity I needed to answer with ease.
The mock interviews were realistic, and the feedback was always constructive, allowing me to improve with each session.
Beyond assisting with my job search, Marnie provided invaluable ongoing career development support that helped me clarify my long-term goals. Her holistic approach not only focused on securing the right job but also on ensuring I felt confident, fulfilled, and equipped for long-term success.
Thanks to Marnie, I now have a clearer sense of direction in my career and greater confidence in myself. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for guidance in their job search and career development!

Rochelle Stephens, GTM Product Enablement, Project Execution @ Procore Technologies
I was referred to Marnie by a friend after expressing interest in a new career path. My role was being restructured, and I wasn't thrilled about the changes. Thanks to Marnie's guidance, I was able to transition into a completely new role in an unfamiliar department-and successfully landed the job!
Although I knew I had the qualifications for certain positions, I had a somewhat narrow career focus. Marnie helped me identify and align my skills and strengths with roles I had previously thought were out of reach, helping rewrite my resume to ensure these skills stood out. She encouraged me to apply for roles I hadn't considered and, through her extensive network and expertise, supported me every step of the way.
Our sessions covered a wide range of topics, from resume building and job search strategies to workplace mentorship and even negotiation tactics. Marnie's flexibility in tailoring the pace of our sessions to suit my needs was incredibly valuable.
Since then, I've recommended her to anyone in need of career or workplace advice. Marnie's expertise, structured process, and warm, supportive approach make her an absolute pleasure to work with— essentially like having an accountable friend to help navigate the complexities of the daunting job search.

Description goesI worked with Marnie over the past year, and she's truly a superstar! I'm incredibly grateful for her support throughout my job search and overall career development. Her guidance was invaluable as I navigated a pivotal time in my career and made a cross-country move from New York to San Francisco.
Marnie was instrumental in helping me organize my job search, refine my Linkedin profile, develop an effective search strategy, and prepare me for interviews. Her help in identifying and workshopping key stories from my experience gave me the confidence to present myself in the best possible light, and her feedback and encouragement boosted my self-esteem.
Beyond the job search, Marnie gave me ongoing career development support that was essential in helping me think through my long-term goals. She helped me explore external mentorship opportunities and offered insightful advice on navigating career challenges. Her holistic approach not only focused on finding the right job but also on ensuring I felt fulfilled and prepared for success.
Thanks to Marnie, I feel more confident in my career trajectory and in myself. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking support in their job search and career development!

Alessia Huaman, Licensing Compliance Advertising Coordinator @ Guess?
I cannot recommend Marnie highly enough. When I reached out to her, I had an upcoming interview and needed to prepare within a week. Marnie was incredibly flexible and created a plan tailored to my timeline and objectives.
Before working with Marnie, I struggled answering interview questions and speaking confidently about my accomplishments. Through just four sessions, she helped me structure my responses, highlight my experiences, and communicate my value in an organized and impactful way. Being able to brainstorm and bounce ideas off with someone as experienced and insightful as her was invaluable.
Marnie is strategic, empathetic, organized, and a quick thinker. Her ability to bring out the best in her clients is truly remarkable. I came across her videos and felt like we'd work well together and I'm so glad I reached out. If you're feeling stuck or experiencing self-doubt, I highly recommend meeting with Marnie.
It'll be a game-changer.

Working with Marnie was the key to my job search! After months of job seeking, my confidence was dwindling and I was experiencing a lot of self-doubt. Thankfully, I found Marnie and she was able to provide the support I needed to get back on track. She is very flexible, patient, and committed to helping you navigate through each step of the job seeking journey.
Going into our first session, one of my major concerns was my niche work experience and how to translate that to a new industry. Together, we workshopped how to highlight my strengths in a clear and concise way that hiring managers would acknowledge. She helped me create a plan of action moving forward and continued to provide insightful feedback throughout all of our sessions. This included advice on resume building, interview preparation, and negotiation strategy. Marnie is truly an expert at what she does and I can’t recommend her enough!

Berkeley Joy Mashburn, Account Executive @ Quinn PR
Working with Marnie was one of the earliest—and most important—decisions I made during my job search. At the time, I was ready to change industries, but I wasn’t sure where I wanted to go. Marnie helped me identify the skills I was most excited to use in my next role and ensured my resume highlighted those strengths. She helped me translate my political experience into corporate language, which was critical to my job search. Marnie was also instrumental in building my confidence, especially as I prepared to interview for corporate roles for the first time. Her interview prep was thorough and storytelling-focused, enabling me to calmly and confidently approach interviews with three companies at once. Even after I received an offer, Marnie continued to go above and beyond, helping me weigh my options and providing negotiation strategies I would never have thought of on my own.
I highly recommend working with Marnie, whether you’re looking to transition into a new industry or simply want to strengthen your interview and personal branding skills. I especially recommend her to young women who need someone in their corner to boost their confidence and help them navigate early career challenges – you will benefit so much from working with Marnie!October 2, 2024

For anyone seeking exceptional career coaching from an empathetic and detail-oriented professional, I cannot recommend Marnie enough! Marnie always arrived to sessions with a thoughtful, thorough agenda based on my career goals, and generously shared invaluable resources for career exploration and networking.
Her guidance and support extended beyond coaching sessions on zoom where she helped me refine my resume, and update my professional pitch.

Marnie was extremely kind and helpful throughout every stage of my job search. Before I was even ready to apply for jobs, she helped me gather my thoughts and think about my non-negotiables as far as what I wanted in my next role. We workshopped my resume together line by line and she helped me concisely drive home all of the points I wanted to make about my experience. Marnie gave me some feedback on my LinkedIn presence, which really helped me get my foot in the door at a great company.
After each session, I left feeling empowered and less overwhelmed about the daunting task of a job search and interviewing. I have already recommended Marnie as a coach to family and friends struggling in their job search and career path, but would continue to recommend her to anyone in need of some help and encouragement with their own search.

I was truly impressed by Marnie's insights shared on the Career Contessa podcast ("5 Things You Need To Take Off Your Resume Right Now" 1-2-24). Immediately following the episode, I reached out to her and was impressed by her responsive communication. We quickly scheduled our first appointment, and from the outset, Marnie's approach was refreshingly practical.
During our sessions, we dove straight into refining my resume. Marnie's guidance helped me unearth hidden strengths and address areas of improvement swiftly. In a short time, she helped elevate my resume and confidence significantly. Marnie's unique blend of expertise and empathy fosters a comfortable and productive environment and her understanding of today's workplace nuances is evident.
What sets Marnie apart is her genuine dedication to her client's success. She took the time to delve into my strengths, challenges, and goals, laying a solid foundation for our ongoing collaboration. Though it's still the early days of my job search journey, I feel confident knowing that Marnie will be by my side for the long haul.April 30, 2024

Marnie was a huge help throughout my job search! She gave a combination of really practical, objective advice about how to approach each step of the process (resume, applications, networking, and interviews), as well as personal support with checking in, wishing me luck with important interviews and conversations, and helping boost my confidence.
She went above and beyond supporting me through the end of my job search, continuing to check in and offer advice even after we finished our four sessions. I'm super excited to be starting an ideal new job, in no small part thanks to Marnie!

Before working with Marnie, I felt overwhelmed and uncertain about my job search journey. Despite my qualifications, I struggled to articulate my unique value proposition and felt lost in the competitive job market.
Marnie and I collaborated on refining my brand and crafting a compelling narrative that showcased my "special sauce." We focused on honing my elevator pitch and revamping my resume and LinkedIn profile to ensure my strengths and accomplishments were prominently highlighted.
Through our iterative process, Marnie's keen eye for detail and strong language command helped elevate my professional presence. She encouraged me to dig deep and uncover the essence of what sets me apart from other candidates, ultimately resulting in a clearer, more authentic representation of my skills and experiences.
The notable result of our collaboration was evident when I began receiving more positive responses from prospective employers. I not only advanced to the final rounds of interviews but also gained a newfound confidence in articulating my value proposition. Additionally, our work together provided me with much-needed clarity around my career direction, guiding me toward opportunities that aligned with my passions and strengths.
I highly recommend working with Marnie if you're seeking guidance in navigating the early stages of the job-hunting process. Her expertise in corporate structure and communication and her commitment to understanding her clients' unique strengths make her an invaluable partner in achieving professional success.April 15, 2024

Natalie Charlier, Operations Associate @ Legacy Foundation
I worked with Marnie for four sessions during my job search and she was so helpful! She gave me specific, constructive feedback on my resume and LinkedIn presence and the advice she gave me allowed me to connect with the current company that I work for. When I was interviewing with them and negotiating the salary, she helped prep me and talked through all of the pros and cons when I got the job offer prior to me accepting it.
I’ve been with my new company for 6 months and it is such a better overall/culture fit for me. Marnie helped me determine what kind of roles I wanted to look for in the first place and was helpful throughout the entire process of applying, interviewing, and then negotiating for my new position.

I first came across Marnie when she was featured on the "Career Contessa" podcast. She immediately impressed with her ability to distill down a wealth of information into meaningful, actionable, and relevant next steps.
She also has the ability to draw upon her former sales background to provide the most impactful recommendations possible when giving her hyper-specific feedback. In addition, she has incredibly creative approaches (and a deep bench of knowledge) when it comes to her insight. Marnie is a true professional and I'm glad to have crossed paths with her!
