How It Works

The work of distillation.

Most CVs are accumulated — ours are architected. The difference is the same as between a filing cabinet and a brief.

94%

of clients report interview callbacks within 60 days

340+

portfolios completed across 38 states

0160 minutes

The Intake Audit

We begin with a structured 60-minute intake that reads more like a clinical interview than a consultation. You walk us through your career chronology; we listen for what you've understated, overlooked, or buried in a footnote.

022–3 days

The Architecture Session

We map your credentials against the evaluative framework your audience uses — tenure committees read differently than forensic retaining attorneys. Every section is positioned for maximum signal, minimum noise.

035–7 days

The Draft & Refinement

Your portfolio emerges in three iterative drafts. Each revision sharpens the narrative. By the final version, every line earns its place — and the document reads with the quiet authority of someone who has nothing left to prove.

Real Outcomes

Careers that finally landed.

I submitted the same tenure dossier to three institutions over four years and received polite rejections each time. After working with Praxis, I submitted to Columbia and received an offer within six weeks. The document was the same career — just finally legible to the people reading it.
