You're just starting out
And you want to land a role that fits, not just the first offer that comes along.
For recent graduates and seasoned professionals ready to grow. I help you navigate career pivots, build new skills, and move toward work that fits your life.
I help you see your strengths clearly, with a plan that moves you forward with confidence.
I’m David Bolz. Twenty-five years as a Senior HR Business Partner at Delaware North, BlackRock, and Morgan Stanley. I’ve been through layoffs myself, so I know what the mix of fear and possibility actually feels like. We meet weekly to name your real strengths and build a plan you can actually use.
Who I work with
Most of my clients are recent graduates and mid-career professionals who are figuring out their next step.

You've learned what you don't want, and you need a plan to pivot with confidence.
03 You're navigating a setback
A layoff or a stall, and you want a steady partner to find what's next.
If this sounds like you, let’s work together.

What do clients say about working with David?
“I highly recommend David for career coaching. He helped me clarify my direction, identify transferable strengths, and prepare for interviews with practical, confidence-building guidance. He uses empathy, motivation, and structure to make the process both manageable and enjoyable. I'm now thriving in a new role, using skills I didn't fully recognize before. I'd recommend David to anyone considering a career pivot or wanting a clearer job-search and interview strategy.”
Ann I. McKiernanClient · Louisville, KY “Working with David transformed my job search. He helped me build a clear, actionable plan and provided an outstanding resume, practical strategies, and the mindset shift I needed to move forward with confidence. Our work together led me to connect with a Branch Manager at JPMorgan Chase, and after completing the interview process, I received an offer to join the firm as an Associate Banker. This marks the end of a long and often discouraging three-year job search. David's guidance was invaluable. He helped me understand what I truly wanted from my career and what steps I needed to take to get there.”
