Career ConsultationPersonalized 1-on-1 Coaching

Career Consultation is Metana's standalone 1-on-1 coaching program, built for anyone who wants personalized, hands-on help with their resume, LinkedIn, GitHub, interview skills, and overall career strategy - whether or not you're enrolled in a Metana bootcamp. It's structured as 5 one-on-one sessions with a dedicated coach, organized around three pillars: First Impressions (rebuilding your resume, LinkedIn, and GitHub so recruiters take notice), Job Search (networking, community-building, and exploring freelance opportunities alongside traditional applications), and Interview (technical and non-technical preparation, mock interviews, and post-interview support through offer negotiation). You can book sessions online from anywhere or in person on campus if you're local, and our team is available 24/7 to help you get started. It's the same coaching program referenced inside JobCamp for bootcamp students, offered here as a standalone service for anyone - career changers, working professionals, or recent graduates - who wants focused, personalized support without committing to a full bootcamp.

Career Consultation includes 5 one-on-one sessions with your dedicated coach, each built around the same three-pillar structure used throughout the program. Sessions covering First Impressions focus on rebuilding your resume, LinkedIn profile, and GitHub presence into a cohesive personal brand that gets noticed by recruiters. Sessions covering Job Search walk through practical strategies for networking, tapping into your local professional community, and exploring freelance work as a way to build experience and connections while you search. Sessions covering Interview prepare you for both the technical and non-technical sides of the hiring process - mock interviews, pre-test preparation, and structured follow-up after you've interviewed, including guidance on evaluating and negotiating any offer you receive. You can book all 5 sessions upfront as a discounted package, or pay per session and book one at a time with no long-term commitment, whichever fits your budget and how quickly you want to move.

Yes, Career Consultation is available in whichever format works best for you. If you'd rather meet from home, the office, or anywhere else, you can book every session online and connect with your coach on your own schedule. If you're based near a Metana campus and prefer face-to-face coaching, in-person sessions are available too - many students mix formats, taking some sessions online and others on campus depending on the week. Because career coaching often has to happen around an existing job or other commitments, our team is available 24/7 to help you find a time slot that works, and to match you with a coach suited to your background and goals, whether that's a career change, a first tech role, or leveling up within your current field. There's no difference in curriculum or coach quality between the two formats - it's purely about what's most convenient for you to attend consistently.

No. Career Consultation is a fully standalone service - you don't need to be enrolled in, or have ever taken, a Metana bootcamp to book it. It's built for anyone who wants dedicated, personalized help with their resume, LinkedIn, GitHub, interview skills, and overall job search strategy, whether you're a self-taught developer, a bootcamp graduate from elsewhere, or an experienced professional looking to change roles or industries. That said, it's also the exact same 1-on-1 coaching program referenced inside JobCamp, the career-support track built into Metana's job-guaranteed bootcamps - so if you're a current Metana student, you'll already have access to this coaching as part of your program rather than needing to purchase it separately. Anyone outside that context can book Career Consultation directly, choosing either the discounted 5-session package or the pay-as-you-go option, with sessions available online or on campus and support available around the clock.

You have two ways to pay. The pay-as-you-go option is $200 per session, with no commitment required - you book one session at a time and can stop whenever you like. The upfront package covers all 5 sessions for $1,000, discounted from the regular $1,500 price, saving you $500 compared to booking sessions individually. The upfront package is built to fully transform how you present yourself to employers: it includes 1-on-1 mentorship to close technical and communication gaps, a full resume, LinkedIn, and X (Twitter) revamp to build a cohesive personal brand, advanced interview practice covering behavioral and leadership-focused scenarios, communication coaching on tone, storytelling, and body language, and dedicated support evaluating and negotiating job offers once they come in. Most students choose the upfront package since it's the better value and keeps momentum going across all three pillars - First Impressions, Job Search, and Interview - without gaps between sessions.

Every session maps to one of three pillars that together cover the full job-search funnel. First Impressions sessions focus on your LinkedIn profile, GitHub presence, and resume - making sure the first thing a recruiter or hiring manager sees positions you as a strong candidate rather than one of hundreds of similar applications. Job Search sessions cover practical strategy: how to build a genuine professional network, tap into your local tech community for leads and referrals, and consider freelance work as a way to gain experience or bridge income while you search. Interview sessions prepare you for both the technical side (coding problems, take-home assignments, system design questions) and the non-technical side (behavioral questions, culture-fit conversations) of the hiring process, including dedicated pre-test preparation and structured post-interview follow-up so you know how to handle everything from a rejection to a competing offer. Your coach tailors the pacing across these three pillars to where you're starting from and what you need most.

Click "Book a call" anywhere on this page to get started - it takes you straight to a short scheduling flow where you can talk with an advisor about your background and goals. Our team is available 24/7, so you're not stuck waiting on business hours to lock in a time that actually fits your schedule. During that first conversation, the advisor will walk you through the two payment options (the discounted 5-session package or pay-per-session), help you decide between online or in-person sessions if you're near a campus, and match you with a coach suited to your industry, experience level, and career goals - whether that's breaking into tech for the first time, changing careers, or moving up within your current field. Once you're booked, your coach will reach out directly to schedule your first session and start working through the First Impressions, Job Search, and Interview pillars at whatever pace makes sense for your timeline.
