You did the work. You finished the degree.

And now you’re expected to know how to write a résumé, talk about your experience, and compete with candidates who seem more confident than you feel.

The problem isn’t your potential. It’s that no one taught you how to present it.

Most new grads struggle with the same things:

  • “I don’t have enough experience.”

  • “I don’t know what employers want.”

  • “I hate talking about myself.”

  • “My résumé sounds like everyone else’s.”

The New Grad Glow-Up helps you turn your education and early experience into something employers understand — and gives you the confidence to talk about it clearly when it matters.

Together you and Nicole will translate school projects, internships, and early experience into language employers understand. We’ll highlight your strengths, not just your coursework to deliver a résumé you’re proud of.

You’ll leave with:

  • a clear, professional résumé.

  • language to talk about your experience confidently.

  • a clear story about what you bring to a team.

Most recent grads struggle to exhibit executive presence. But it’s one of the fastest ways to stand out. Jeff’s on-demand speaker coaching will help you build credibility from Day One.

Quote text on a black background: "Working with Nicole was one of the most genuinely helpful things I did to prepare for post-grad life."

I had already gone through résumé help at UW-Madison, but I never felt fully confident in what I had. After our session of talking through what actually matters, revamping my résumé, and learning how to tailor it per application, that confidence changed completely. The biggest shift wasn't just having a better résumé; it was the confidence that I actually know how to handle this process, go after the jobs I want, and that I have the résumé to back it up.

I'd recommend Nicole to any recent grad without hesitation.”

Text in the image reads: "Built by people who help professionals get hired for a living."

Hey there, I’m Nicole. For 15 years, I worked in Talent Development within the tech space. I started my career in Sales and Marketing training, moved into C-Level communication strategy (that’s where I reconnected with Jeff!), and landed a dream job as a hiring manager at Facebook.

After a stint developing onboarding and interviewing programs for the Product team at Airbnb, I spearheaded coaching, leadership development, and manager effectiveness program creation in the start-up world.

Now, I help professionals clarify their value, articulate their experience, and land roles that align with who they are and where they want to go next, through coaching and data-driven résumés that speak directly to decision-makers.

Hi, I’m Jeff, and I help people build executive presence so they can stand out, speak up, and earn respect early in their careers. I’m the founder of Davenport Communications, where I coach professionals to communicate with clarity, confidence, and charisma.

Before starting this company, I was a professional screenwriter and keynote speaker, and I’ve written speeches and presentations for Fortune 10 executives, engineers, and creatives. I love taking everything I’ve learned and passing it on to people just getting started—especially those who want to look and sound like they belong in the room.

Whether I’m coaching one-on-one or teaching in a workshop, my goal is simple: help you show up with the presence and professionalism that leaders notice.

Together, The New Grad Glow-Up gives new grads both sides of the equation:

how you present on paper and how you show up in person.

  • A clean, professional résumé you feel proud to send

  • Clear language to explain your experience and strengths

  • Confidence speaking about yourself in interviews and meetings

  • A stronger first impression from day one

  • Courage to share your ideas the right way to get noticed

  • The ability to keep cool and stay confident when challenged

No guessing. No pretending. Just clarity about what you bring to the table.

Quote stating: 'If you're on the fence about working with Nicole, just do it.'

Honestly, I went in skeptical. I already felt like I had the tools I needed and that my résumé was in pretty good shape, so I wasn’t sure it would be worth the time and money.

What changed my mind was the mindset that investing in yourself at this stage is one of the best things you can do—and even if there was only a small chance it made a real difference, that was worth it to me. I’m so glad I did.

After Nicole reviewed my résumé with me and we worked through the adjustments together, it was genuinely night and day. I couldn’t believe it was the same document. But it went so far beyond just the résumé. She got my LinkedIn polished and professional, and she walked me through the exact steps I needed to take for my specific situation.

She’s incredibly smart, super easy to work with, and somehow made the whole process actually enjoyable, which I really didn’t think was possible.
