CAREER COACHING

At SamNova, our personalized career coaching program—led by nationally recognized career coach Ed Samuel—blends in-depth career counseling with professional resume services to guide executives, mid-level managers, and individual contributors through successful job transitions. Whether you're seeking clarity, a career pivot, or a stronger personal brand, we provide expert support every step of the way.

Our career coaching process begins with a free, one-on-one consultation where we explore your current career status, major transition points, and long-term goals. A core part of this discovery includes answering the key question: “What do you really want to do?” This conversation aligns your career direction with your values, passion, and greater life purpose—laying the foundation for a strategic and purpose-driven job search.

Before your consultation, we encourage you to connect with Ed Samuel on LinkedIn and submit your resume to help us better understand your experience and objectives.

Our comprehensive resume services are designed to go far beyond basic formatting. Clients first work with a skilled resume writer and career coach to build or revamp their resume, followed by strategic career development sessions with Ed Samuel to refine messaging and alignment with target roles.
