Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking.

How do I schedule my session after purchasing?

After checkout, you'll receive a confirmation page with a Calendly link to book your session at a time that works for you. You'll also fill out a short intake form so we can make the most of our time together.

What happens during a coaching session?

Sessions are 60 minutes via video call. We'll focus on your specific situation — whether that's building a transition plan, reviewing your resume and interview approach, or creating an accountability roadmap. You'll leave with clear action items.

Who is this coaching for?

This is designed for QA professionals at any stage: manual testers transitioning to automation, career changers breaking into QA, or experienced engineers who feel stuck in their job search or career progression.

What's the difference between the single session and the bundle?

The Career Clarity Session is a one-time deep dive — ideal if you need direction or a strategy reset. The 3-Session Bundle provides ongoing support over multiple weeks, with accountability check-ins and iterative feedback on your progress.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. If you haven't booked your session yet, you can request a full refund by emailing us. Once a session is scheduled, we ask for at least 24 hours notice to reschedule.

What if sessions are currently full?

If all slots are booked, you can join the waitlist and we'll notify you as soon as a spot opens up. Waitlist members get first priority.
