More Than a Coaching Brand
I’m Athena Montes, the strategist behind AJM Career Collective. After leading Talent Acquisition at one of the top creative social agencies—building teams from the ground up and helping hundreds of people grow their careers—I saw a gap: people were craving support that was both strategic and deeply personal.
That’s why I launched AJM Career Collective. To bring high-impact coaching to job seekers who want more than just a resume rewrite—and to offer consulting for teams who want to hire better, smarter, and with intention.
Whether you're navigating a career pivot, rebuilding confidence, or scaling your team without the overwhelm—this is where strategy meets support.
I don’t do cookie-cutter. I offer tailored, high-touch guidance that helps people and businesses move forward with purpose.
Ready to build what’s next? I’m all in.
