Career Coaching in Perth for Experienced Professionals Ready to Make Their Next Move
Whether you’re trying to work out where to go next, ready to move to the next level, or know where you want to go but your job search isn’t getting you there, the right strategy starts with understanding the problem you’re actually trying to solve.
Which of These Sounds Like You?
Career Direction
You’re not sure what the right next move actually is.
You may be considering a change of role, career or industry, but need clarity about where your experience could take you and what would be the right fit.
Career Progression
You know where you want to go, but you’re not getting there.
You’re ready for greater responsibility, scope or seniority, but something is preventing you from making the move to the next level.
Job Search Strategy
You know what you’re targeting, but your job search isn’t producing results.
You’re applying for the right kinds of roles, but you’re not getting enough interviews, progressing through the process or converting opportunities into offers.
A Clearer Way to Make Your Next Career Move
Making the right career move isn’t just about working harder or taking more action. It starts with understanding what is holding you back, what needs to change and where to focus your effort.
Depending on where you are in your career, that might mean getting clear on the right direction, positioning yourself for the next level, or changing the way you approach the job market.
My role is to help you step back from the immediate problem, understand what’s really getting in the way and develop a clear strategy for moving forward.
The Strategy Behind Pillentum
Hi, I’m Peter Mazzucato, founder of Pillentum and a career coach, career counsellor and career advisor based in Perth, Western Australia.
I’ve spent more than 25 years working with people’s careers, including 20 years in recruitment. That experience has given me an understanding of both sides of a career decision: what experienced professionals bring to the market, and how employers assess experience, capability and potential.
Today, I use that experience to help professionals make better career decisions, position themselves for the opportunities they want, and approach the job market with a clear strategy when they’re ready to move.
Who I Work With
I work with experienced professionals who have built substantial careers and are now facing an important decision about what comes next.
Many of my clients are engineers, technical specialists, managers and senior professionals working across mining, resources, construction and infrastructure, where I have particular experience.
Whether you’re reconsidering your direction, trying to progress to the next level, or struggling to get the response your experience should be generating in the job market, the focus is the same: helping you make your next move deliberately and with a clear strategy.
This is for you if:
- You've built substantial career experience but aren't clear about the right next move
- You're ready to progress but aren't getting the opportunities your experience should be opening up
- You know what roles you're targeting but your job search isn't producing the results it should
- You want a structured, strategic approach rather than continuing to work it out through trial and error
- You're ready to take action once you know where to focus
This is NOT for you if:
- You're at the beginning of your career and still building your professional experience
- You're only casually exploring and don't have a career issue you want to address
- You're looking for someone simply to find you a job
- You're looking for a quick fix rather than working through the underlying problem
- You're not prepared to make changes or take action
If this sounds like you, the next step is simple
“I came to Peter pretty disgruntled and cynical about coaching, yet I was stuck in the unfruitful sludge of the traditional job board and recruitment agency application cycle. Adding to my frustrations was dealing with recruiters who promised the world but delivered nothing.
“Peter helped me to focus and clarify my objectives. He crystallised a job search strategy and action plan which gave me the critical skills to take job searching on with a newfound confidence.Â
“Peter’s techniques are the new way forward for job searching—I’ve already passed my skills onto people in my network. Highly recommended!”

Frequently Asked Questions
Career coaching is right for you if you know something needs to change but you are not sure what, or if you know exactly what you want but cannot seem to get there. It is also right for you if you are searching for a new role and not getting the traction you expected, or if you want to make a deliberate move rather than just waiting for something to come up.
The best starting point is not a commitment to a program. It is a 15-minute conversation. From there, if it makes sense, the next step is a structured diagnostic assessment that identifies exactly where the gaps are and what the right program looks like for your specific situation. You do not need to have all the answers before you start. That is what the diagnostic is for.
I help experienced professionals with three main challenges: deciding on the right career direction, progressing into more senior or rewarding roles, and developing a more effective job search strategy. The focus depends on where you are now and what you’re trying to achieve.
You don’t need to have the answer before starting career coaching. Working out what comes next is often the reason people seek help. We can explore your skills, experience, strengths, values and priorities, identify realistic options and determine which direction is right for you.
Yes. If you know the type of role you want but aren’t getting enough interviews or opportunities, we can identify where your job search is breaking down. This may include your positioning, résumé and LinkedIn profile, how you access opportunities, your applications or how you perform at interview.
No. While I work extensively with engineers and technical professionals, I also work with experienced professionals from other industries and occupations. What matters most is that you have established career experience and are ready to work on making your next move.
