Career Positioning Studio · you're under‑framed, not underqualified
A resume is an argument, not a timeline. These tools find the thread that runs through your career and build your resume around it, so a hiring manager sees your value in seconds, not paragraphs.
Tools you run yourself, in your browser
No call to book, no file to download. These are web apps: you bring your real material, the tool works through it with you, and you leave with a finished, positioned output you own. The names are characters; the work is software.
Clients average under 8 weeks to first interview with Ariadne or 1:1 work. Speed you can control, backed by data.

Build my profile →Outcomes
"She helped me find the story I didn't realize I was telling. I had all the right experience, scattered across five versions of myself with no central theme. Two and a half months later I landed a founding role with a unanimous vote."
"I used to think of my resume as an inventory of my experience. Katie reframed it as the answer to the hiring manager's question: I have needs, can you solve them?"
"It's more than a resume edit. It's a strategy session for your career. She changed how I thought about positioning myself, not just what was on the page."
Where clients have landed. Credible, not a guarantee.
How it works
01
We read the roles you actually want for what they reward, not what they list. The target defines the argument.
02
The one idea that makes every role you've held look inevitable instead of random.
03
Your resume becomes an argument for one specific hiring manager, so your value lands in seconds.
The difference
A better-worded resume isn't enough on its own. What gets you interviews is positioning plus a plan: knowing which roles to target, tailoring with intent, and tracking what's landing so you can adjust. That's why clients who run the plan see a first interview in about 8 weeks. You're not buying a document. You're buying a system you run.
Who's behind this
I've been the hiring manager reading the stack of resumes. I've also been the qualified person getting nothing but silence. That combination is why I built this.
Most people who try to fix resumes have one of three things: a product manager's problem-solving, a designer's eye for how humans read, or real hiring-manager experience. I have all three. So I see your search differently: the human is the product, your resume is the interface I'm designing, and the hiring manager is the user I'm building it for. My whole job is making it effortless for them to see what you can do.
And here's what I want you to walk away with: not just a better resume, but actually knowing how to write one. No one teaches us this. I'd rather you never need me again.
More about how I work →Work with me · 1:1
The tools are self-serve: you do the work, guided by the method. 1:1 is the step up. I'm in the room with you, finding the thread that runs through your whole career, then rebuilding your resume (and more) into an argument for the roles you actually want.
A thinking partner who has sat on the hiring side, not a worksheet. Start an intake and I'll read your situation first, then point you to the right path.
Start an intake →What's included
The deep dive plus a full rewrite, built as an argument for the roles you want.
Everything above, plus LinkedIn, a cover letter, interview positioning, and 30 days of support.

Those tools make you faster at sending the same resume. They tailor keywords; they can't tell you why your resume isn't landing. We diagnose the framing first, then build the argument. The throughline comes before the document.
No, and anyone who does is selling you something. The outcomes here are real, not promised. The 8-week average is for clients who actually run the plan.
Yes, and it comes with a condition. It's the average time to a first interview for clients who actually run the plan: targeting the right roles, tailoring with intent, and adjusting as they go. It's a credible pattern from real clients, not a guarantee.
If you're applying fast and already know your story, use Asterion: it turns out a tailored resume and cover letter per job, as fast as you can apply. If you can't name what you're even arguing, buy an Ariadne resume first: it finds your throughline and builds the resume around it. If you want it done with you, that's 1:1 work.
No. It's $197 for one positioned resume, yours to keep. A daily-use tool like Asterion is monthly; Ariadne builds you one resume, so you pay once. Want another later? Buy another.
Full refund any time before you reach your finished resume. Once you've got the resume in hand, it's been delivered.
Buy an Ariadne resume, decide you want 1:1 work, and your first $197 purchase credits toward it. You pay the difference, not twice. It's a one-time credit, so it stays $197 no matter how many resumes you buy.
