1:1 mentoring for frontend developers
I review your CV, help you position yourself for a new role or a raise, and talk through the questions a course won't answer.
This is volunteer, not a service - no invoice, no package, no commitment on either side. If I have the time and it's useful to you, I'm happy to help.

Scope
What a session covers
CV review
You send your CV. I read it the way a hiring manager or a technical interviewer would, and tell you what to cut, add, or reframe.
Positioning for a role
Which projects to lead with, how to describe what you actually built, and how to answer 'walk me through your experience' without rambling.
Is a CS degree worth it?
I still don't know if my own CS degree was worth the years it took - happy to talk through what actually mattered on the job.
Making the case for a raise
What evidence actually moves a raise or promotion conversation, and how to bring it to your manager instead of just asking and hoping.
How it runs
How a session runs
Send me what you're working on
A CV to review, a role you are positioning for, a raise conversation you are preparing, or an interview coming up. One paragraph is enough.
I prepare before the call
I read your CV or the material first, so the hour goes on your questions instead of on me catching up.
You drive the call
Screen share, your CV or your notes open. You drive; I ask the questions that expose what's missing or unclear.
You get the notes
A short written summary after the call: what to fix, what to prepare next, and a link behind any claim I made.
Fit
Who this fits, and who it does not
Who is this for?
Frontend developers who want a CV reviewed by someone who has sat on the hiring side, are positioning themselves for a new role or a promotion, or are preparing to work with an English-speaking team or client for the first time.
Who is this not for?
People looking for a course from zero. I do not teach HTML, CSS and JavaScript fundamentals - there is better free material for that than an hour of my time. I also do not guarantee a raise, a job, or a referral. Looking for paid work instead of mentoring - a build, an audit, a rescue? See services, or the sites I've built.
Do you take long-term mentees?
Sometimes, as an occasional recurring call rather than anything scheduled or promised in advance. We keep going as long as it's useful to you and I have the time. No package, no minimum.
What does it cost?
Nothing. This is volunteer, not a paid service - I don't invoice for it and I don't want to. That also means I can't commit to a fixed cadence or guarantee I have time for every request.
