Career coaching for women returning to work or changing direction.

Laura Hughes, That Career Expert

Practical support with CVs, job search, interviews, confidence and your next step, led by Laura Hughes, That Career Expert.

Sound familiar?

You know you're capable. You just can't see the way forward right now.

Maybe you've been out of work for a while. Maybe you're ready for a complete change. Or maybe you've been applying for jobs and getting absolutely nowhere. Whatever brought you here, you know something needs to change. You just need to work out what comes next.

You've lost your direction

You know you want something different, but every time you look at jobs you end up more confused about what you actually want.

Your career break feels like a problem

You know you have years of experience, but there's a gap on your CV and you're worried employers will only see the time you've been away.

You're applying and hearing nothing

You're sending applications for jobs you know you can do, but the interviews aren't coming. And eventually, that starts to knock your confidence.

You don't want to go backwards

Maybe returning to work doesn't mean returning to your old career at all. You've changed, your life has changed, and you're ready for something different. You just don't know what that looks like yet.

What I help with

The practical stuff, sorted.

Let's be clear

This is where I can help.

I help women make sense of their experience, get clear on what comes next and feel confident explaining what they bring to the table. Whether that means returning after a career break, changing direction or finally getting your job search moving again.

You don't need another pep talk. You need someone to look at your actual situation and help you work out what to do next. That's what we'll do.

Clear direction. Practical support. A plan you can actually act on.
