You worked hard to get to this moment.
And it doesn't feel nearly as good as you'd hoped.
✔ You feel like you're under a lot of pressure to figure your shit out
✔ You don't want to do what you want to school for and you're freaking out. OR...
✔ You do want to do what you went to school for, but don't know where to start.
✔ You want to get unstuck and find a career that feels good and uniquely you.

“Sarah cut through the clutter of my internal BS and helped me unapologetically accept my strengths, passions, and non-negotiables — basically my career compass! She did it with the honesty and love of a sassy best friend. Thank you Sarah!”
— Elaine Wong
“I am feeling super excited and empowered, and only a little bit terrified of taking this next step in my career. Thank you again for listening to a stranger’s frustration and flipping it into powerful action with your attentive support!”
— Jennifer Gordon
I'm Sarah Vermunt, the gal behind Careergasm. I'm a career coach, former business professor, and the bestselling author of Careergasm and Career Rookie.
I've served up straight-talking career advice at places like Forbes, Inc., Entrepreneur, Fortune, and Fast Company. This is not my first rodeo.
I help people figure out what the heck they want so they can get unstuck and do work that actually feels good. And, my friend, that can be YOU.
6 months of career navigation with me.
To help you dig deep, get clear, and get moving in the right direction.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
You're not supposed to know what the future looks like. Nobody does. You can dream and plan, but you'll keep growing and changing until you die, and your career goals will grow and change too.
Nobody has it all figured out. Everyone is winging it to some degree. But there's a right way and a wrong way to wing it. (The right way involves listening to your gut.)
Your doubts and fears don't have to stop you from going after what you want. You just need to move through them. I'll help.
“Thank you so much for helping me through a scary yet thrilling time in my professional development.”

HOW IT WORKS
Perfectly Paced
We'll connect twice a month — once during our 1-on-1 coaching session, and again at a monthly support call where you can check-in and ask questions. You'll also receive videos and worksheets to complete between sessions so you maintain your momentum. That combo, perfectly paced, is what gives people the structure and accountability they need to get unstuck and finally get moving in the right direction.
Our Coaching Sessions
We’ll spend our 1-on-1 sessions digging deep and exploring your interests, curiosities, and strengths. Maybe we’ll toss in some strategy. Maybe we’ll spend a session or two polishing your resume until it sparkles. How we do this is up to you, and everybody needs something a little different.
It’s my job to help you articulate what you want. I do that by asking good questions. And by listening like a ninja. And by pointing out some of your blind spots. And, occasionally, by calling you on some of your bullshit (it’s done with love, I promise). It’s your job to dig deep, be honest, and do the work.
Homework: The Fun Kind
Accountability is the thing that many people say gets them unstuck. So there will be homework in-between our sessions — deep, introspective, fun, brain-tickling exercises to help you get you unstuck.
+ you'll get this huge BONUS
FREE access to my 15-module
career navigation course
($997 value!)
The videos, exercises, and worksheets in this program are the perfect complement to our 1-on-1 work together. I'll ask you to tackle different modules during different stages of our work together, so you'll be having career aha-moments even when we're not face-to-face.
Frequently Asked Questions
We'll meet for an hour over video chat. I'll ask you a lot of good questions, and it's your job to simply show up and be honest — about what matters to you, where you feel stuck, all of it.
You'll always feel prepared for our sessions because I'll send you videos, exercises, and worksheets before-hand. And at the end of each session, I'll assign you homework to help you keep momentum until we meet again.
Each month, you'll also be invited to a support call, where you can check in and ask questions.
Accountability is the thing that many people say gets them unstuck. So yes, there will be homework inbetween our sessions — the fun kind!
You'll be doing introspective, fun, brain-tickling exercises to help you get unstuck, which means you'll be having career aha-moments even when we're not face-to-face.
We'll meet twice a month — once for our 1-on-1 coaching session, plus a monthly support call where you can check-in and ask questions. The support call is an additional group call for my current clients and I always allow enough time to answer everyone's questions on each call.
A big part of getting unstuck is having enough time to let things integrate. We don't want to rush. This is a value-packed experience, and we'll pace things out so you maintain your momentum.
If you prefer to move at a faster pace, you can choose the bi-weekly option when you sign up, and complete the program in 3 months instead of 6.
You absolutely can! If you've failed to find the right career path on your own, the structure and accountability that 1-on-1 career coaching provides may be exactly what you need.
Plus, coaching with me is a pretty deep experience. I'll be asking you thought-provoking questions, helping you identify your blind spots, and even helping you navigate the emotional side of things. It'll take you way beyond what you've been able to do on your own.
About 1-2 hours a week. We'll have our 1-on-1 coaching sessions sprinkled throughout our journey, plus the monthly office hours Q&A calls. Plus, you'll be watching videos, completing worksheets and, eventually, taking action with specific bits of homework in the real world.
Towards the end of our work together, your time commitment may be more, as you'll be conducting informational interviews, applying for jobs, and interviewing — all great uses of your time once you have a clear career plan!
Just reach out. I'm happy to answer any questions you have. You can get in touch with me directly here.
This is for you if:
✔ You want someone to help you explore your options and connect the dots you can't see.
✔ You're sick of feeling lost and like you're moving in the wrong direction in your career.
✔ You don't want to settle, but you don't want to flit around chasing a pipe dream either. You want a plan that actually feels good.
✔ You're sick of feeling stuck, and you're ready to get this career thing figured out.
This is not for you if:
✖ You only want help with your resume and cover letter. We'll get to that, but only after we figure out what you want.
✖ You want to do a personality assessment. Assessments are fun, but they're also kind of, well, shallow — not nearly deep enough to base big life decisions on.
✖ You're not willing to explore your feelings.If you think career navigation is purely a rational process, you're nuts. It's largely emotional.
Still not sure if this is right for you? Just reach out. I'm happy to answer any questions you have. You can reach me directly here.
1. You'll receive an excited email from me welcoming you to this amazing process! And we'll set a time for our first coaching session.
2. Even before our first appointment, I'll send you some brain-tickling videos & worksheets to get you thinking about things and prepare for our first chat.
“My experience with Sarah was brilliant! She pays attention to details like first impressions and how to stand out. Without her help, that stuff wouldn’t have even crossed my mind. She helped me realize that most of my interview worries were mostly in my head, and that mistakes can be fixed with practice. She taught me how to deal with anxiety and we worked on friendly, open body language. She really helped boost my confidence and helped me land a great gig!”
— Leah Halin
“Thank you for all of your help for Leah! She couldn’t say enough about how much you’ve done to boost her confidence and the great advice she got from you. I am really glad we found you and believe Leah will continue to benefit from what she learned.”
— Judit Halin (Leah's mom)
"I am very VERY grateful for this. Thank you for helping me to identify what matters to me and to go after it. I'm moving forward into this next phase of life with a new spark."
— Marissa Hay
