Career Social
Hello!
I’m Claire Lyon
Career Strategist | CV & LinkedIn Expert | Job Search Mentor
I have been helping professionals and executives cut through the noise and get noticed since 2012; if you’re ready to move forward but feel stuck, are applying and hearing nothing, or are unsure how to position yourself on LinkedIn, and are tired of DIY job searching that leads nowhere, you’re in the right place.
I do what I do because;
Job searching on your own can feel soul-destroying.
Writing about yourself and presenting yourself to the world can be a challenging task.
Smart, capable professionals are often the worst at selling themselves.
Confidence comes from clarity, and that’s what I bring.
I’m a strategist and a writer, and your most prominent advocate. I’ll challenge you, cheer you on, and bring structure to your search, so you stop guessing and start progressing.
Who I work with:
I support professionals who are
- Tired of going it alone in the job market.
- Ready for a change, promotion or pivot.
- Returning after a break and needing confidence + clarity.
- Great at what they do, but unsure how to communicate it.
- Serious about growth and ready to invest in their next step.
