Meet The Right Start Coach
Say Hello To Ted Garrity
I’m a certified career coach specializing in helping college students and young professionals confidently launch and grow their careers. After more than 30 years in corporate leadership and 10 years in staffing and career coaching, I’ve seen firsthand that the people who thrive aren’t always the ones with the “perfect” resume—they’re the ones who truly understand who they are and how to communicate their value.
Why The Right Start Coach?
At The Right Start, I combine real-world hiring insight with practical, step-by-step coaching to bridge the gap between degree and career. Through the LaunchPad program, I guide clients in clarifying their direction, strengthening their personal brand, and navigating the job search with purpose and strategy.
Whether you’re struggling to land that first offer or ready to pivot into a role that fits you better, I’m here to help you move from uncertain and overlooked to focused and hired.
What your journey will look like here.
