Don’t Worry, You’re In The Right Place.
As the world shut down in 2020, I asked myself a question: When everything returns to normal, who do I want to be? It led me to a thought — dedicated steps today create life-changing tomorrows.

To better support this idea, it was time for an evolution. I needed a new name to better map to how I help people — getting them to rediscover their value, what they want, and harnessing this to unlock what’s possible. I also wanted to be in a stronger position to better meet people where they stand while helping clients to build out other areas of their lives. In essence, I needed to get clear.

Hi I'm Scott Santa Maria.

As mentioned above, everyone deserves to feel valued & fulfilled in their career & life. My mission is to help as many people as humanly possible to discover, connect with, and reach their desired point B.

I’m atypical from many coaches, resume writers, and recruiters for the following reasons: For one, I’m a marketer with 20 years of experience who has built and executed first-of-their-kind experiences for many top brands. I have also spent much of my career in sales and business development — cultivating high-value opportunities and relationships from the ground up. Most recently, I've helped hundreds of professionals to advance their careers as a recruiter and coach.

How I Help People and Companies

Awareness & Validation of Value, Vision, & Direction

Everyone has an inner badass and we need to reconnect with that person. The day-to-day demands of our busy lives can all-to-often drive us to lose sight of the value we hold, what we want, and can even lead some to falsely develop self-perceived limitations. No matter where we stand in life, it is always beneficial to have an object partner to help us to truly see ourselves, believe in ourselves, and step into who we need to be to get where we want to be. 

Positioning & Strategy

Knowing who we are and what we want is only part of the battle. For example, in a job search, we should preemptively prepare for all the directions we could head by understanding who can best use our value, who may be dealing with the problems we’ve solved, how to uncover these target employers & opportunities, and how we should approach them.

Messaging, Brand Storytelling, & Projection

When communicating our story, we often focus on our past when it’s the future that matters. In the case of a job search, we should ask: “Am I projecting myself as the square peg for the square hole that the hiring team requires?”. Accomplishing this takes clarity, context, and showcasing how you’ll move the needle. This formula also holds true for personal goals: By being or projecting ourselves as the person we desire to become and doing the work to make it happen — we will undoubtedly realize the life we intended to create.

Action, Accountability, & Calibration

Could a salesperson make their quota without making a phone call or having a meeting? Sure, but it’s not likely. The same goes for achieving a goal or landing a career opportunity. Many find themselves stuck in preparation overload, following old patterns, or fearing rejection. My goal is to break down big goals into digestible action plans and playbooks using a fun coaching approach while ensuring that clients continuously adapt, remain accountable, and experience real results.

Chris M.
VP-Level Business Leader for Nationwide Healthcare Organization

"After completing my engagement with Scott, I've seen an immediate impact. I've gotten callbacks on resumes submitted on company websites (which I never got before) and using his methods for reaching out to companies to open a discussion, I've been able to open doors and conversations I'd never have thought possible and am currently needing to choose between two new opportunities that have come from those conversations! I can't thank Scott enough for the time and skill he brought to crafting my resume and helping me find a way to present myself in a way that I couldn't figure out how to do on my own.”

Alex C.
Recent Graduate & Sales Candidate

“Scott provided phenomenal service! I went from no interviews to 13, with 3 offers and many resume compliments.”

Denny P.
C-Level Marketing Leader

"I cannot recommend Scott high enough to any professional that is looking to boost their own brand. He provided one of the best services I have ever received anywhere with his charisma and professionalism. I have since recommended him to several of my friends who are also fully satisfied with his services and the results they have delivered.”

Larry P.
VP-Level Business Leader for National Foodservice Corporation

“Scott was suggested to me after being disappointed with the results delivered by a more expensive competitor. Once Scott and I connected live, I knew that his service was the right choice for me. Unlike services that simply wordsmith an existing or mediocre resume or services that have you filling out form after form to do the work for them, Scott's personal and hands-on approach led to the delivery of an incredible resume as well as thoughtful and varied support documents. Scott's personal touch and exceptional product not only helped me be more prepared for my job search but they also gave me a boost of confidence and level of pride in my achievements that I hadn't even considered while evaluating services. Scott turned out to be much more than a service — he's my go-to partner for career advancement!”

Judy K.
Brand, Marketing, & Communications Leader

“I spent considerable time searching for someone to work with me on my career transition. Most candidates I spoke with were subject matter experts in specific fields, or wanted to 'lead' the process their way. Scott made it about me from our first call. He served as a patient and diligent partner in building my professional portfolio until I was satisfied and comfortable with the final product. Scott is the "triple threat" of resume building — possessing superior coaching, marketing, and digital media skills, all essential components of a comprehensive package. Scott was one of the best professional development investments I have ever made.”

Ted D.
Senior Sales Leader in Retail & Apparel

“I consider myself extremely lucky to have come across Scott and his services. Not only did Scott provide me with a superior resume, but he also went way above and beyond with professional help in many more areas — LinkedIn profile, ATS keywords, and just a complete solid package to assist me in my search for a new career, just to name a few. I HIGHLY recommend Scott and his services to anyone looking to better their career situation. I honestly can't say enough great things about the work he performs.”

Mark H.
Growth Leader in Tech

“Scott came highly recommended to me by a colleague, so I had high expectations going in. He blew them away. He is a consummate professional, hard worker, and picks and chooses every word carefully. He takes the time to understand every nuance about your career and personality as he crafts your perfect resume. It was truly a pleasure working with Scott, and an invaluable investment in my career.”

Letam B.
Division Lead

“Not only did Scott improve my resume, but he really helped me clarify my career goals. Through Scott’s process we crafted a strong narrative for employers that landed the ideal job for the next stage of my career.”

Garrett C.
SVP Business Development

“Scott didn't just write a resume for me — he crafted my story and produced a door opening, conversation-starting tool that ignited interest, interviews, and offers.”

Jonathan M.
Environmental Engineer

“Thank you for all the work you have done. You did an amazing job and I am extremely happy with how everything turned out.”

Charles S.
Digital Marketing Leader

“If you're looking to make a career change I don't think there's anyone more qualified and dedicated than Scott. He's worked tirelessly to create an excellent CV and has consistently followed up to see how my search is going. You can hire the cheaper resume providers — but you will not find a better career booster than Scott.”

Brent M.
Senior-Level Program Manager in Tech

“I have gotten multiple very good comments about my resume. One guy who interviewed me said that he liked it so much that he was going to get his resume organized that way. I gave him your name and suggested he contact you.”
