Katy Hansell Impact Partners - Career Coaching Chicago

Katy’s expert approach to beating the bots.

Katy is an award-winning expert in this space. All of her clients benefit from custom-crafted, smart keyword strategies to beat the bots and land the best-fit job.

Beyond keywords: the full job search process.

There is a lot more to it than just smart keyword strategies, but if you don’t have that piece, nothing else will help. From there, we will work on: how to know what the right fit feels like, interviewing, negotiating an offer, and much more.

Navigating the job market: beating algorithms and managing AI.

Finding a job became a very different endeavor once the talent market became driven by algorithms, data scraping, online applications in Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), and by AI post-November 2022.

Why keyword matching controls your job search.

The visibility of your online application to a human hiring manager is now completely controlled by algorithmic keyword matching. If you don’t know how to navigate algorithms and AI, you risk having your online applications never seen—and never knowing why.

Testimonial Katy Hansell - client 7

“Katy helped me to evaluate other career options when I discovered that my first position out of college was not the fit I had hoped it would be. Katy was there for me with her expertise at a time where I felt stuck in a career and wanted to make a change. Her structured process helped me to evaluate other options and position myself for success in the one I chose. I was able to confidently enroll in graduate school and pursue an entirely different path and Katy was the support I needed at the right time to get me on my best fit career journey.”

GRACE, Occupational Therapist, NYC

Testimonial Katy Hansell - client 8

“Part strategist, part thought provoker, and part cheerleader, Katy has a masterful knack for knowing when to invoke these various skills to bring out a clarity of purpose and desire that is often hard to pinpoint on your own. She has a way of repackaging your own, sometimes confusing, thoughts in a way that adds meaningful direction. If you are looking for someone to confide in and learn from about yourself, your professional skills, your career ambitions, and your potential, look no further than Katy.”
