Danzger Group - Igniting Finance and Tech Careers

Are you finding it really hard to achieve your career objectives? Getting a job or transitioning out of what that doesn’t suit you. Or maybe you need to improve your current work situation?

I’m the solution. I help you land a gratifying, rewarding job or internship matched to your strengths and interests and to succeed in your career. I do this through one-on-one coaching and advising with a holistic, design-oriented approach.

I help you get off the hamster wheel of simply constantly applying to jobs and hearing crickets. I teach you how to supplement those applications with networking in a way that doesn’t feel cringey.

We’ll start by ensuring that you have some clarity on what you might like to do. It’s better to take a moment to reflect on where your strengths and interests might best be applied than to start randomly applying to jobs.

I ensure that your career documents (resume, LinkedIn, and cover letter) are in great shape.

I help you land and prepare for meetings and interviews.

I help you with the important, yet often-overlooked, things that many career coaches don’t consider, like evaluating and negotiating job offers and getting off on the right foot in a new job.

In short, I help you:

• Identify your strengths and passions to suggest career direction
• Create materials to present themselves in the most attractive light (e.g., resume, LinkedIn profile, cover letter)
• Learn how to build and grow your professional network to help land a job
• Master meeting and interviewing skills
• Understand how to evaluate and negotiate offers
• Succeed in the workplace with an early action plan

Career Coach and Advisor

I uplevel your career documents so you get more interviews and offers.

In today’s busy world, people who read your resume and LinkedIn profile give them quick scans. They must be concise and demonstrate what you can do for your next employer.

I transform your resume from a laundry list of roles and responsibilities to compelling, quantified accomplishments and achievements that make people stand up and take notice. 

When I’m through, you’ll not only have a polished resume, LinkedIn profile, and cover letter, but you’ll be better prepared in meetings and interviews when you see how I’ve communicated you to others in writing.

My Story -------------->

--> My life for the past 8 years has been quite a journey. I have lived in 4 different states and two different countries. I have attended two different universities, started a small service business, got married, and now I have a beautiful daughter.  All these experiences have taught me that real joy is found in the small moments. 

--> When I started my university studies in 2021, I decided to study accounting. I interviewed close to a dozen successful business professionals asking for their advice on what degree to choose.  Most of them were not accountants, but all agreed on one thing. Accounting is the most valuable business skill one can gain in college. 

--> Since then, I have come to love accounting. I love the critical thinking required and how critical accounting is to the business world. My knowledge of financial and cost accounting principles has paid dividends in so many ways. It has helped me as a project manager, production supervisor, and in personal investing as I now know how to read financial statements. 

--> Accounting also opened the world of Microsoft Excel to me. Excel has become my best friend. All around it is arguably one of the most powerful platforms Data Analysts and Financial Professionals have at their disposal. I have used it to clean, filter, organize, and visualize data. My current fascination with Excel is all about keyboard shortcuts. I have increased my productivity ten times by implementing keyboard shortcuts. 
 
--> In today’s economic climate, professionals must do more than just have a well-written resume. Relevant experience matters, but even more important is your network. LinkedIn is the perfect platform to develop meaningful friendships and relationships. Networking is not asking for a reference or job. Networking is being genuinely interested in others and doing your best to help them in any way that you can. 

--> A focus of mine right now is helping fellow students see the value of an accounting degree. I have been able to connect with amazing professionals in the accounting world and I want to highlight the bright spots in the profession! This is why I started my podcast, Accounting Conversations. I interview students and professionals who are doing amazing things in the accounting world! 

--> If you have any questions or would like to connect with me, feel free to send me a DM. I would love to learn more about your career journey or help in any way that I can! If you are an accounting student and would like to learn more about the future of accounting give me a follow!
