Who is Mia Kennedy?

For over two decades, I have been at the center of hiring decisions, working alongside executives, shaping teams, and uncovering what truly makes a candidate stand out. I have been in the rooms where careers were decided, reviewed thousands of resumes, and witnessed the defining moments that make hiring managers say-

“This is the one.”

I know precisely why some candidates move forward while others fall short. More importantly, I understand the hidden factors influencing hiring decisions—the unspoken priorities, the subtle cues, and the behind-the-scenes discussions. I use that insider knowledge to help my clients stand out and position themselves as the top choice at every stage.

But what struck me most over the years wasn’t just the hiring mechanics—it was how many talented professionals struggled to tell their stories. I saw brilliant, capable individuals being passed over—not because they lacked skills but because they weren’t positioned effectively. Their experience was strong, but their story was not compelling.

That was when I decided to step away from a rewarding career in talent acquisition and launch Career Coaching with Mia (CCWM) to follow my passion and pull back the curtain on the hiring process.

"Bridging the Gap Between Candidates and Hiring Teams."

What sets me apart?

What Sets Me Apart!

With over 20 years in talent acquisition, I’ve hired 1,000+ candidates, reviewed countless resumes, and led the hiring process from end to end. I don’t coach from theory; I coach from real-world experience.

I know what hiring managers are looking for because I’ve been one. I’ve built the interview frameworks, shaped decision-making criteria, and worked directly with executives to define what great looks like.

At Career Coaching with Mia (CCWM), I bring that insider knowledge to every session. I help you master the art of interviewing, craft a resume that truly reflects your strengths, and approach every conversation with clarity and confidence. My goal is simple: to help you feel fully prepared and become the candidate they can’t overlook.

At CCWM, career coaching is tailored to you—whether through a whole phase or a single session, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Through live Zoom working sessions, we refine your resume, elevator pitch, and online presence to position you for success.

Mock interviews provide a real-world space to practice, helping you navigate tough questions, pivot when needed, and deliver a compelling response to “Tell me about yourself.”

This is your career journey—I’m just here to help you take control and confidently own every step."

I do more than prepare you for the interview; I teach you how to use insider hiring knowledge to craft a conversation that leaves a lasting impression and keeps decision-makers talking about your strengths after you leave…
