Choosing to pursue a college degree is one of the largest financial commitments a family will ever make, yet the four-year plan is far less certain than most expect. According to The Hechinger Report, less than half of students who enter college expecting to graduate in four years actually do. And according to the National Center for Education Statistics, nearly one in three students will change their major at least once, a costly detour that adds semesters, credits, and tuition to an already enormous investment.

Many students make decisions such as which school, which major, or which career path without a single structured conversation about what to expect after graduation. Oftentimes students don't know enough about job market demands, how their strengths translate into opportunity, or how rapidly AI is reshaping the careers they're preparing for. That's where Michaud Advisory comes in. For a tiny fraction of what your family is already investing, I give students and graduates the clarity, strategy, and confidence to make that investment count.

Meet Your Advisor

I primarily serve as an Enterprise AI Platform Product Owner at a Fortune 500 company. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, a Master's Degree in Human Resources and Industrial Relations, and an MBA that I will complete in 2027, all from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I study workforce and technology trends daily and I coach students and early-career professionals on how to excel in the job market.

My goal: give you the strategic clarity that most people only get through years of trial and error. Whatever stage you're at, I'll help you figure out where to go next.

"Looking for a job and thinking through career decisions has always been a stressful process for me. Having Alex as a resource and advisor has made a material difference.

Matt K.

"Alex's resume review was extremely thorough and helped my job application stand out, which resulted in more interviews and ultimately a promotion. I would highly recommend his services!"

Lilly F.

"Alex's LinkedIn audit pinpointed the exact weak spots in my LinkedIn profile and handed me a prioritized plan to fix them - direct, practical, and specific. It turned "I'll get to my profile someday" into a clear list of what to actually do. I highly recommend Alex's services."

Isak A.

"The resume I sent Alex had already taken multiple iterations and inputs through ChatGPT and Claude over several months. While I was willing to do this on my own first, I don't know if the typical person in the job market is as savvy and patient to do what I was doing, and yet I still had areas for improvement. Michaud Advisory streamlines that entire process since Alex is trained to know what makes a strong resume and provides highly targeted feedback."

Nosa E.

"Alex helped me completely rethink and restructure my resume with my goal of making a career change in mind. Even though I already felt my resume was strong, his process challenged me to rework my bullet points and overall structure in a way that made it significantly better. His guidance and communication were incredibly clear throughout the process, and the system he has created is extremely effective. I would highly recommend working with Alex to anyone looking to strengthen their resume and improve their chances of landing interviews."
