Achieve your true career potential

with tailored career coaching services in Perth and beyond

Get access to the best advice, the right industry networks,
and the clear-minded confidence you need to finally clinch your ideal career.

We help aspiring professionals get crystal clear on what they truly want from their career, then devise the best strategies to go about it with conviction and gusto.

Even if you don’t have sky-high career aspirations; if you simply want something more fulfilling to slot neatly around your family and social life—yet still be paid what you’re worth—you’re also in the right place.

Ultimately you might be here for a few reasons:

You’ve had an utter gutful of the job search grind
You’re well and truly DONE with being overworked and underpaid
You just can’t understand why you’re not getting the slightest look-in from recruiters—and losing confidence as a result
You want career progression or change and have no idea where to start
You’re sick of your toxic work environment but have no time to look for another job
You’ve been discriminated against yet fear you won’t get work elsewhere in this competitive job market
You envy people who have their ideal career ‘in the bag’ but don’t know how to achieve it for yourself
You’ve just relocated to Perth (or about to) and need help navigating the local job market
You’re clear about your professional potential, are ready to ‘up the ante’ on making big things happen and need the right coach to help you get there

And more—find the full outline of inclusions and packages here (or read on to find out whether I’m the right coach for you)

BUT… before you decide whether career coaching is your best option, there’s one thing you must know.

Truth be told, finding the right work takes work.

And yes, committing to a career coaching program might be unnerving when you either don’t have employment lined up or are already scratching for time.

Plus, how do you know coaching will work for you? (If you’re nodding reading this, don’t worry, we have a money back guarantee—more on that further down.)

To be frank, if you’re expecting to be spoon-fed all the answers, I’m not the right career coach for you.

How we help you is far more rewarding, with lifelong results. Once you’re given these skills, you can’t unlearn them—and you’ll pass them on to your kids and loved ones as well. Besides, we believe modern job search skills should be part of everyone’s education anyway.

We customise your career coaching program to suit your industry, personal goals and needs. You do the work, with our input and guidance whenever you need it.

Don’t let taking on the work deter you—the ‘work’ is your key to long lasting, enriched fulfilment in your career, your lifestyle and a permanently changed mindset to tap into whenever you need. Simply be prepared to do some thinking, digging and action-taking to get to the gold.

You’ll be a changed person as a result—in all aspects of life.

What’s more, we are 100% by your side all the way and you’ll end up with a tangible, powerful plan to fall back on for the rest of your working life.

There are some who’ve declined career coaching for valid reasons, but time and time again they come back after spending months, sometimes YEARS being unemployed, underemployed, or drastically underpaid.

They’re the ones who say, “I should’ve done this way back when I initially spoke to you…”

All because they’ve carried on using outdated job search models that don’t work and only keep them stuck in that soul-destroying grind.

“I was forced to accept a job outside of my chosen profession. For 5 years I’d been trying to find work in my desired profession without success—then I discovered Peter at Pillentum. Not long after I’d completed his career coaching program, I was hired for a role that paid me 3 times more than my previous job, doing the work I yearned to do. I’m so much happier with my work and finally feel I’m being paid what I’m worth.”

~ ABBAS GOLSHAN | MINING ENGINEER

Think this is unachievable? IT’S ABSOLUTELY NOT. Every person who’s fully completed our career coaching program gets more fulfilling work as a result.

Involves in-depth discussion to attain a thorough understanding of what you want to achieve, along with detailed reviews of your most relevant professional documents and applications.

Full review of your skills, likes, interests and values to gain crystal clarity on your career goals. From there we coach you in how to strategically evaluate your target industry, which helps to better identify the most suitable opportunities to target.

3. Job search strategy and marketing material

Gain a thorough understanding of how to tailor and implement your own job search action plan to secure your next career move. This is backed up by a fully-supported process to train you in strategic resume preparation. For those that would rather have your resume written for you, we offer a 20% discount if you decide to purchase this service along with the coaching.

4. Cover letter and selection criteria

Step-by-step we address the elements of crafting a winning cover letter. This is what gets your resume read so you need to impress, FAST. You’ll learn the skills to do this and how to uncover and address selection criteria which is key to progressing to interview.

5. Interview preparation

Insider knowledge and expertise on handling the interview process from the time you’re scheduled, right through to post-interview coaching. If you’ve not had personalised interview support before, you’re in for a huge bonus. It’s remarkable seeing people breeze through their interviews as a result.

6. Agencies

Identify and select the right recruitment agencies for your objectives, then learn how to get recruiters to work and advocate on your behalf. Considering how important recruiters are in the recruitment process, you absolutely need to know this.

7. Networking techniques (even for people who despise networking)

There are several networking techniques—we’ll help you find one that suits your personality, along with guidance on when and how to use each. We dip into the world of LinkedIn to grow your connections and explore how to gain valuable insights into target companies.

8. Personal branding

Learn how to position yourself as the right person for your ideal opportunity or industry sector. Get clear on your ultimate career destination, envision how that might look, then define yourself powerfully against the competition.

Once you know this, you’ll communicate it with ease everywhere—application documentation, interviews, cover letters, LinkedIn profile, even in general conversation. Because you never know when opportunity will knock.

9. LinkedIn profile

Learn how to create exceptional LinkedIn profiles that will attract attention from hiring managers and recruiters. This includes technical knowledge such as keywords and phrases, and behind-the-scenes tactics / search processes used by recruiters.

Looking for a technical and engineering career coaching specialist?

If so, these are additional areas of specialisation I can help you with.

I’ve been working with (and coaching) technical and engineering professionals for the last 20 years and am fully versed on what’s involved in the recruitment process.

In a nutshell, I speak their language and have a ton of insider
knowledge to get you on the fast-track to career success.

“After many years in a successful role I began to tire of the commoditisation of the workforce—suddenly I was having to deal with six people just to do one small job. Additionally I was experiencing covert age discrimination, so I came to Peter for coaching.

I never knew I’d be starting my own business but here I am today doing exactly what I want to be doing. Peter helped me to rephrase my thinking and I learned how to identify the right leads toward what I wanted to achieve. Peter got me back on track with life. If you need that kind of push, Peter is the one to do it.”

“Peter’s techniques are the new way forward for job searching—I’ve already passed my skills onto people in my network. Highly recommended!”

~ ROBERT NICOLAO | FINANCIAL CONTROLLER, MINING
