One-on-One Career Coaching
Work directly with me to get support for your specific needs. Potential topics we’ll cover include resumes, cover letters, interview preparation, networking and exploring new industries. You’ll learn to use my VAST Technique© to strategically translate your skills and personal qualities to confidently market yourself in a new field.
Note, if you’re looking for someone to simply write your resume or cover letter for you, this option is not for you. I strongly believe in the importance of providing clients strategies on how to do this work for themselves (that whole “teach a person to fish vs giving them a meal” concept).
Clients schedule two, 1-hour virtual sessions initially and can add additional meetings as needed.
Initial 2-session package: $210
Additional 1-hour sessions: $110/session
Comments from past clients
- Renaissance woman is a great way to describe Sara. She is a careful listener and a valuable thought partner, bringing a wide range of experiences to bear on whatever problem is at hand. She gave me some wonderful insights and impactful steps to move my career aspirations forward.

- Sara supported me as I considered a career change. Her ability to cross-pollinate ideas across industries guided me to create a vision and pathway to start a consulting business. I appreciate Sara’s support and wisdom. For anyone considering a career change or looking to innovate within their industry, Sara’s guidance is invaluable. – Andrea Tejedor, Educator
Find Your Golden Thread
If updating your LinkedIn profile – particularly the dreaded “About” section – has been on your “to do” list for way too long, this is for you!
As a Renaissance Person, you’re complex and you’re busy. And it’s HARD to help others understand why you do so many different things.
Sometimes you need an outside perspective to truly see yourself, and I’m here to help.
Together, we’ll reflect on the essence of your multi-passionate soul and find the golden thread that weaves throughout your journey to today. We’ll dig into why you do what you do.
Armed with this knowledge, you will be prepared to rewrite your LinkedIn “About” section with language you can reuse any time you need a bio (or simply need to introduce yourself). We’ll also update other LinkedIn profile features to make sure it accurately reflects where you’ve been, who you are now, and where you want to go.
1-hour Strategy Session plus follow-up feedback: $75
LinkedIn Sprints
Is your organization/business/institution looking for ways to support your members’ use of LinkedIn in way that focuses on community building, not grandstanding? I will coach your team in a week-long LinkedIn Sprints designed to increase everyone’s visibility on LinkedIn and to build new habits for using the platform as a networking tool. In the past, I’ve hosted sprints for job seekers, freelance creatives, and the STEM community. I would love to serve your group!
“Yes, I am a Human” Masterclass (40 minutes)
Yes, I am a Human is a 40-minutes session introducing you to my VAST Technique©. You’ll learn how to make it past the unfeeling technology designed to chop down the applicant pool. And simultaneously, we’ll embrace the fact that, in the end, a human (or humans) is hiring another human to join them in their space. Apply with confidence for jobs you really want and stand out from the AI-generated mediocrity. (recorded August 21, 2025)

Comments from past career coaching clients
- I had the pleasure of working with Sara Kobilka during my job search, and I cannot recommend her enough as a career coach! One of the most impactful tools she introduced me to was the VAST (Verb, Adjective Strategic Translation) Technique she created. This technique gave me clarity and confidence by breaking down job descriptions and aligning my resume and cover letter efficiently.
“Building Community with LinkedIn” Workshop (50 minutes)
You’ve heard LinkedIn is THE place to be for building your professional networking, but how do you do that in a way that feels genuine, not gross? With Sara’s help, you’ll learn about and practice skills for building and maintaining a thriving network of contacts and potential collaborators, employers or clients. Topics covered include how to meaningfully make connections, adjusting your settings so the platform works for you, and how/why it is worth getting a free trial of LinkedIn Premium and/or LinkedIn Learning.

Comments from past attendees
- I’ve seen quite a few LinkedIn sessions before but very few that go beyond “101,” so I really appreciated the deep-dive!
- Thank you for a great session… I am always looking for new ways to connect with people, given that the majority of my job has been done in the pandemic, and your advice was wonderful.
- Sara’s LinkedIn workshop was exactly what I needed to build confidence and clarity as a new user. She broke everything down into approachable, actionable steps that helped me find my voice and show up with purpose. I left feeling empowered with a profile I’m proud of and a strategy I can actually stick to.
