What Students are Saying
“I’ve networked with hundreds of people, and no one else has come close to the hands-on approach that Curtis offers...
…From working side-by-side to edit my resume and cover letter, to making himself available for frequent calls as I worked through a long, interview-related project, Curtis and Guided Ascent has been incredibly helpful regarding all aspects of my job search.”
— Jake, Class of 2024

“Having Curtis from Guided Ascent as his coach has given Jake a great deal of confidence and optimism in navigating his job search… As a parent, I couldn’t be more grateful and relieved to have such an experienced and compassionate mentor take the lead in guiding my son on this important journey.”
— Jake’s mom
Our Philosophy
We believe coaching is about much more than imparting wisdom from a vantage point of experience. For us, coaching means caring deeply about helping people achieve their goals. The best coaches build a trusting connection through active listening and customize their advice to reflect the personality, strengths and aspirations of each client. This is who we are and how we help college students and young professionals launch their careers.
