About Me
I'm Ashley Cross (they/she)
My Background
I'm a Global Career Development Facilitator (GCDF) and Career Coach who has worked with college students and career changers for 10yrs.
I work with clients on career exploration, targeting their job search, writing effective resumes, preparing for interviews, and how to create a branding and networking strategy using social media, like LinkedIn.
My Story
I started career coaching in grad school. After graduation, I freelanced, balanced multiple jobs, and pursued licensure part-time. I stayed in higher ed to keep a steady paycheck.
​
I was on track to finish in 2020...
You can guess how that turned out.
​
I had a decision to make and chose to pivot.
I became crystal clear on what I wanted and applied within a few days of the job posting.
One resume. One role. I interviewed throughout summer and started as a career coach at Carnegie Mellon University that August.
​
Not everyone completes licensure or wants to permanently work in counseling.
​
As I connected with other professionals on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, I found many counselors who have thriving careers in other fields.
I now use my career coaching skills to help others become aware of the options that already exist and see the possibilities for the future.
