Promote your best self!
Overwhelmed by your resume? I’ve been there, too!
The good news is, you’re not alone and I can help.
Meet Monica
My name is Dr. Monica Marcelis Fochtman. That’s a mouthful and hard to pronounce, so call me Monica.
I am a career coach, certified resume writer, and speaker. My clients have never written a resume, or haven’t job-searched in a long time, and they’re overwhelmed.
I help job seekers and industry changers learn how to share their experiences and accomplishments with confidence, get unstuck, and transition to their next big thing. I’d love to help you, too! Together, we create effective search strategies, strong application materials, and memorable interview answers.
In addition to coaching, I am a Certified Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) Administrator. Since 2004, I have conducted leadership development workshops for students, faculty, and industry professionals. I love helping people learn more about themselves so they can become stronger leaders and better teammates.
I practice radical candor because I care about my clients and want them to be their best. I challenge the status quo and build processes that make teams and organizations more humane and more efficient.
I am a wife and mom to 2 sons. I’m also a vocal advocate for childhood cancer patients and survivors, and the need for more awareness, funding, and research.
