Career coach for senior professionals · Canada & US
Get hired at the level you’ve actually earned
For twenty years I sat on the other side of the table — thousands of interviews, hundreds of hiring decisions, up to VP level. I’ll show you what employers really see in your resume, your LinkedIn and your interviews — and exactly what to change.

Where to start
In almost every case the problem isn’t your experience. It’s that the person screening you is reading it differently than you wrote it. Pick by your situation, not by the name of the service.

Why work with me
I look at your career the way the person hiring you does
I’m Tatiana Tsyganova. I spent 20+ years in international recruiting and Talent Acquisition, from thirty‑person startups to IBM, and read tens of thousands of resumes. I’m not a coach who studied the hiring process. I ran it.
Hired up to VP level
What’s expected of a candidate changes at every level. I know where those lines fall — and how not to land a step below yours.
Six countries, three continents
The same experience reads differently in Toronto, Zurich and Buenos Aires. We translate yours into the language of one specific market.
15 years across Canada and the US
I scaled hiring at companies growing 400%+ in North America. I know who gets shortlisted and who gets cut in the first seven seconds.
Worked alongside business leaders
I saw the risk behind every decision to hire someone. Your job in an interview is to remove that risk before anyone names it.
How it works
Every format follows the same logic, so you know what you’re paying for.
- 1
Before
You send your resume, LinkedIn and the roles or interview you’re preparing for. I go through everything beforehand, so we start with substance, not introductions.
- 2
The work itself
Live or recorded, I look at your situation the way an employer does: how your level reads, where your value gets lost, what you’ll need to explain. No templates.
- 3
After
Written takeaways within 1–3 business days, depending on the format. A full strategy comes with a 4–6 week plan; a live resume review includes a second look at your updated version.

What’s next
Many clients come back for the next stage: a resume review after a strategy, a mock interview before a final round. Join the Career Transition Program within 14 days and your session fee is credited in full.
FAQ
Who do you work with?
Managers, senior specialists and executives: people changing roles, industries or countries, returning after a break, or aiming for the next level. I focus on the Canadian and US job markets.
How much does career coaching cost?
A resume and LinkedIn review starts at $165 USD, a career strategy session at $175 USD and interview coaching at $185 USD. The Career Transition Program starts at $950 USD.
What happens on the free intro call?
Twenty minutes. You describe the situation, I tell you what I see and which format makes sense. If none of them does, I’ll say so. Book a free call.
Do you guarantee I’ll get a job?
No, and nobody honestly can. What I’m accountable for is that your positioning, your materials and your preparation match the market you’re going after. The hiring decision belongs to the employer.
Will you write my resume for me?
No. I show you exactly what to change and why, then review the result. A resume written for you is one you can’t defend in an interview.
Do you help with visas or relocation?
I’m not an immigration advisor. I do know how employers in different countries handle sponsorship and relocation, and how to raise it in interviews and offer negotiations.
Do you only work with people in Canada and the US?
Canada and the US are the markets I know best: I’ve hired for them for 15 years. I’ve also hired in Ireland, Switzerland and Argentina. If you’re targeting another country, I’ll tell you honestly on the intro call whether I’m the right person.
What languages do you work in?
English, Russian and French.
Not sure which one you need?
Twenty minutes on a call and we’ll figure out whether it’s a review, a strategy session or the full search. If it’s none of them, I’ll tell you that too.
