Empowering Your Career Journey
Connect with Su McVey
Hi, I’m Su — Career Strategist, Educator & Executive Mentor
I’m a former C-suite marketing executive turned professor and career strategist. Over the past 25+ years, I’ve led teams, rebuilt departments, coached leaders, and helped students and professionals navigate major career transitions.
​
The Career Prof was born out of frustration: too many smart, capable people were getting conflicting advice and often paying a fortune for it. Today, with AI everywhere, it’s even harder to stand out. Generic résumés, copy-paste LinkedIn profiles, and templated interview answers are holding people back.
​
I created The Career Prof to cut through that noise with clarity, honesty, and actionable advice.
My Services
I offer one-on-one coaching, group coaching, and workshops.
Whether you’re navigating a layoff, re-entering the workforce, pivoting careers, or stepping into leadership, I help you gain clarity, build confidence, and create a plan that actually works.
All coaching programs are customizable based on your goals.
My Coaching Philosophy
Direct & Honest
I tell you what’s working, what isn’t, and exactly what to do next. This shortens your learning curve and accelerates results
Practical & Action-Oriented
Everything we do is grounded in real-world strategy with scripts, templates, messaging, and steps you can use immediately.
Supportive, Not Soft
