When your career changes,

Career Compass helps you navigate career transitions with clarity, confidence, and strategy - so your next chapter is intentional, aligned, and built for the world we're living in today.
Why Career Compass Exists
Career transitions can feel overwhelming. But they can also become a turning point — the moment you stop reacting and start making intentional choices about your professional future.
Career Compass was built to help you move from confusion to direction and from reaction to strategy. Dr. Tracy Shroyer founded it after more than a decade of career coaching, research, and lived experience navigating change herself.
"Your experience is more valuable than you realize. A strong next step starts with clarity — and you don't have to navigate this alone."About Career Compass

What clients say
Tracy was incredible to work with. Not only did she understand my field and provide helpful tips, but she was able to share her own experiences.
She not only created an awesome resume for me, but also provided the confidence boost I needed to push me towards the transition after being so long removed from the applicant pool.
Thank you for all of your support. I am very happy with the final documents and with the guidance you provided via the LinkedIn audit.
