Stop Letting the Lack of an MBA/Other Certifications Hold You Back. 🎓
I can’t tell you how many career coaching sessions I’ve had where someone says, they really want a role, but… don’t have an MBA.
And every time, I pause and say, ''Neither do I.''
Here’s the truth: your value isn’t defined by a degree. It’s defined by your perspective, your ability to solve problems, and the way you position your story.
I’ve worked with clients from all over the world including professionals, parents returning to the workforce, career changers and I’ve seen one common thread: the fear of not being qualified enough keeps more people stuck than the lack of any credential ever could.
Stop worrying, and go get that bag🚀

Project: From Playing Small to Landing Big — Kemi’s Leap to Robinhood 🚀
When Kemi came to me, she’d been hearing the same advice over and over again —
"Start in support roles, work your way up, and maybe in a few years you’ll get there."
But the moment we spoke, I knew she was already there. She didn’t need to start small, but to be seen.
Together, we unpacked her story, reframed her experience, and rebuilt her professional narrative to spotlight her leadership, strategy, and decision-making skills. Instead of applying to roles beneath her potential, we crafted a brand and message that matched her ambition.
Within weeks, Kemi landed a Strategy Operations role at Robinhood, skipping the entry-level ladder completely.
We won, Kemi😍

Christopher’s Story: Redefining Success & Landing Roles at Notion and eBay 💼
When Christopher first came to me, he had what many people would call “the dream setup” — a great title, solid pay, and a shiny company name on his resume. But behind all that, he felt stuck. Unfulfilled. Like he was living someone else’s definition of success.
During our sessions, we stripped everything back from the noise, pressure, to checkboxes, and got to the heart of his story. I helped Christopher reconnect with his why, reframe his narrative, and position himself for opportunities that matched his version of success, not the world’s.
Once we aligned his story with his purpose, everything changed. Today, Christopher’s thriving in meaningful roles at Notion, doing work that excites him and fulfills him at the same time.
Proud of you, Chris💯

What you never knew about attracting 6-figgy job offers on LinkedIn....
Curious? Watch this space to learn more🚀

Tired of sending out 2000+ job applications with zero interviews? Let’s fix that.
Most times, the problem isn’t your experience but your LinkedIn positioning.
I see profiles every day with headlines like Product Manager | Customer Rep | Data Analyst | ex-Meta | ex-Tesla...
Here’s the truth: nobody wants to go on a date and spend the whole evening hearing about your exes, and recruiters feel the same way.
Having ex-company or multiple titles doesn’t make your profile more impressive; it just makes it confusing. Take this from a Senior Product Manager at Netflix, and previously at Apple, Instagram, and Coinbase. I know exactly what recruiters look for.
👉 Pick one clear title (say, Account Manager)
👉 Make it consistent across your headline, and summary
Do this right, and you'll have 6-figgy offers chasing you like Elena😊

Feeling stuck in your job search? Let’s fix that.
If you’re sending out applications but not hearing back, it’s not because you’re not good enough, it’s usually a marketing misalignment. And if you’re landing interviews but not getting the offer, there’s likely a sales gap in how your value is being communicated, similar to what Patrick faced for 2 years until I helped him.
Well, the good news is that both are fixable😊! I help professionals rewrite their stories so recruiters can see their impact clearly, turning overlooked résumés and profiles into irresistible invitations for interviews and offers.
It’s never about lacking skill or education, it’s about realigning your message and closing the communication gap. Once we do that, landing that 6-figure remote role becomes so much closer than you think.
Let’s get you there💼✨

Why You’re Not Getting Hired (and How I’ll Help You Fix That)
Ever wonder why companies don’t see you as the strong candidate you truly are despite your degrees, certifications, and experience?
Here’s the truth most people don’t tell you: sometimes, the way you show up online sends a different message than you intend. That “open to work” banner, that long list of acronyms in your headline can make recruiters think you’re unsure how to position yourself, even when you’re more than qualified.
That’s where I come in. I help professionals like you rebuild your personal brand, and position yourself as the kind of candidate top companies want to poach, not pass over.
Through a thoughtful mix of strategy, and storytelling, I’ll show you exactly what to highlight (and what to remove) so your profile communicate impact only.
Ready😍 ?

How Jamil Landed Offers at Deel, Airtable, and Amazon 🚀
Jamil initially thought his resume was just a list of tasks he'd done over the years.
Fast-forward a few sessions later, and that list of tasks had become a personal brand: one that told his story, reflected his value, and positioned him exactly where he belonged.
We rebuilt his narrative from the ground up by transforming bullet points into measurable impact, aligning his experience with the language recruiters love, and turning his LinkedIn into a magnet for opportunities.
Within a week of updating his profile, recruiters from top companies started sliding into his DMs and soon after, Jamil landed offers from Deel, Airtable, and even Amazon.
When you learn how to communicate your value, the right opportunities can’t help but find you💯.

Freelance Chaos to Career Clarity, Naomi’s Leap 🌱
When Naomi first reached out, she was juggling multiple freelance gigs, feeling scattered, and unsure of where she truly fit. She had the talent, was sharp, creative, and full of heart but her story didn’t reflect that.
Together, we zoomed out, connected the dots, and rebuilt her narrative from a place of strategy and authenticity. We reframed her as a storyteller with strategic value. Someone who brings clarity, creativity, and leadership wherever she goes.
Fast forward a few months, and Naomi is now thriving in a full-time brand strategy role, landing opportunities at Salesforce and General Electric. ✨
This is proof that sometimes it’s not about reinventing yourself, but learning to see your journey through a new lens.
Naomi, I’m incredibly proud of how far you’ve come😊

From Stay-at-Home Mom to Tesla — Elena’s Story 🚀
When Elena first reached out, she described herself as just a stay-at-home mom trying to get back into the workforce. I stopped her right there. Because you can't undermine the beauty in raising a family, managing chaos, and still daring to dream bigger.
Elena had the experience, the emotional intelligence, and the grit, but what she didn’t have was a story that did her justice. So together, we rebuilt everything from scratch: her LinkedIn, and most importantly, her confidence.
And not long after, her phone started buzzing. First came Hospitable, then Flowhub, and finally, the OG in Tesla😂.
She didn’t have to chase opportunities. Once her story reflected her value, the right ones came looking for her.
Proud of you, Elena💫

Hey Contra Fam 👋, I’m Alfred — but most people call me “The Career Storyteller.”
I currently work as a Senior Product Manager at Netflix, where I help build experiences that connect people to what they love most. Before Netflix, I worked at Instagram, Apple, and Coinbase, and across all those journeys, one thing stayed consistent — the power of storytelling.
Every opportunity I’ve landed came from knowing how to speak to what decision-makers really care about. And now, I bring those same strategies to my clients aiming for 6-figure careers by helping them position their skills, tell their story, attract recruiters effortlessly using their LinkedIn, and otherworldly career coaching.
When I’m not helping people rebrand their careers, I’m usually working on Scentacy, my fragrance passion project😊
I'm super excited to connect😍
