A career site for humanities majors and non-linear paths.
I went from a philosophy degree to a master's in business analytics to an analyst seat at a capital management firm, which is a sentence I would have laughed at five years ago. This is where I'm writing about how it added up anyway, for the people the career office quietly gave up on.
The career writing problem.
Most career content for humanities majors is bad in a way that's hard to describe to someone who hasn't read enough of it to be insulted by it. The tactical stuff is built for CS grads applying to Google and is good at what it does, which isn't the thing the rest of us needed. The anti-work stuff is correct that the system is broken, but is uninterested in what to do about that if you still want to do something. The LinkedIn stuff is for nobody, in the sense that its readers don't believe it and its writers know that.
What I haven't found anywhere is writing for the people who want autonomy and also want to do interesting, hard work. The ones translating a humanities brain into business language without flattening the brain. The senior who can't yet explain her major in an interview without sounding apologetic, the recent grad whose first year out doesn't read as a story yet, the reluctant pivoter studying SQL after work, the stacker with accidental momentum trying to make it intentional.
So I'm writing the thing I would have wanted someone to write for me. The essays live here now, in The Sunday Note. Templates will live here too, when they exist, and on Etsy. Free worksheets show up in your inbox.
Turn your messy path into one sentence.
The Career Story Worksheet walks you from the parts you'd rather skip over to a single line you can actually say out loud. Five short parts, about twenty minutes, free.

One post a week, give or take, on what I'm figuring out, what's wrong with the career advice your group chat trusts, and how to reimagine what a career can be.
Free to read, and you can leave whenever.
Coming soon.
Templates are in the works, designed to be the kind of small, considered tool I would have actually used. They'll live here and on the Etsy shop, slightly cheaper here because the Etsy fees come out of someone's math and I'd rather it not come out of yours.
