Hello, I'm Nick Pettet.

Welcome to Mile High Career!

What does it actually take to land the job you want in today's market? After 16 years of career coaching, writing over 700 original resumes, running 200+ interview preparation sessions, and helping professionals from entry-level to VP secure roles at companies like Adobe, HSBC, UCHealth, and the University of Denver, I can tell you: it takes more than a polished resume. It takes a strategy. That's what Mile High Career is built to provide. 

My career began in AmeriCorps, where I developed resume writing and job search workshops. These workshops were such a success that we relocated to the nearby library to meet the demand of a 40-student class. 

As I developed my own career in higher education, I helped over 50 clients build their own. These clients came to me through LinkedIn, word of mouth, and Wyzant, where I have a 5.0 rating from 18 reviews. During this experience, I worked with clients from undergrads securing finance internships in Hong Kong to AI professionals securing VP positions at start-ups, and every type of professional and industry in between. 

Over the past two and a half years, while teaching and advising in career development at the Center for Workforce Education & Employment (CWEE), I began to deeply understand the Denver workforce and wanted to bring my expertise to a wider audience of professionals. This is what led me to launch Mile High Career, to serve the city my family and I call home.

Throughout my career coaching experience, I have helped both established and aspiring professionals submit successful job applications that have led to interviews, leading to job offers and the confidence in knowing how to move their career forward. Even in the age of AI, where resume and cover letter writing come easier, I am confident that my strategic coaching experience can improve upon your application materials, leading to a higher interview rate than what even AI can provide. 

With my own career success, coupled with my experience as a career coach, I can help advance your career at your preferred trajectory, toward your aspirations and beyond.

 

If you have a particular vision for your career, or need help defining what that looks like, let's have a conversation and see how Mile High Career can help.
