CUTTING-EDGE CAREER STRATEGIES &
JOB SEARCH TACTICS for the 21st CENTURY



We're bombarded daily by a seemingly endless stream of information (and misinformation) on just about any topic you can imagine, including career planning and finding a job.


Do you have the time and expertise to discern the good from the not-so-good, even damaging, advice? Do you have the time and expertise to weed through it all to determine what's best for YOU?


Whether you're just starting out, in the midst of a transition, looking to advance in your present career either internally or at another organization, or you're thinking about changing careers altogether, you don't have to do this alone, nor should you.


That's why we're here. We're career development and job search experts, and we can help you. Scroll below to see how....




COMPREHENSIVE
NEEDS ASSESSMENT



Because not everyone needs everything, we will interview you in depth to determine how we can best help you identify, pursue, and attain the next step in your career.


This interview will cover:


- Why you think you need help at this time


- A cursory review of your career to date, as well as your understanding of your attributes (knowledge, skills, abilities, interests, etc.)


- An evaluation of any career assistance or job search activity you've undertaken up to this point


- A discussion about the challenges you've encountered, or expect to encounter, as part of the job search process or in achieving your desired employment outcome.


Then, in consideration of both your immediate and long-term goals and needs, we will draft a personalized proposal for how we can best help you move forward in your career.

PROFILE DEVELOPMENT & ONLINE BRANDING



Today's successful job seekers utilize both "push" and "pull" strategies. Having a polished online professional identity is critical to each approach.


We can help you create an effective online profile - or refine your existing one - that will increase your visibility within online, professional networking platforms like LinkedIn.


In support of building your professional identity and developing your professional network, we can also help you determine how and where to best establish and expand your online presence and brand.




RESUME WRITING & FORMATTING



Yes, you still need a resume!


While it's true that recruiters and hiring managers use online platforms to search for and evaluate candidates, you can still expect to be asked to supply a formal resume that showcases your skills and experience in relation to a specific role.


Don't have a recent resume?

No problem. Through content development exercises administered to you by us, and based upon information otherwise provided by you, we can create and format an original resume that will appeal to prospective employers.




RESUME CRITIQUE / REWRITES



We can review and provide a thorough, in-depth commentary on your present resume's content, as well as make suggestions regarding its visual layout and formatting.


Includes rewrites and revision through the final product as agreed upon at commencement of the critique.




COVER LETTER CRITIQUES / REWRITES



We can review your cover letters and make detailed suggestions about how you can more effectively speak to prospective employers.


We can help you better "personalize" your cover letters for specific opportunities, thereby improving your chances of taking your search to the next step.




JOB APPLICATION
SUPPORT



Not sure why the prospective employer wants certain information? What do you absolutely need to include in your job applications? What do you need to craft very carefully in order to be picked up by Applicant Tracking Systems and / or to avoid being screened out?


Don't worry. We can help you answer those questions and address your concerns about any facet of the job application process.




EVALUATION / EDITING OF OTHER MATERIALS



Need help with other career-related collateral, such as, employment, fellowship, college, or other application documents, essays, personal statements, letters of introduction, and post-interview correspondence?


We can review your materials and offer suggestions on how to improve your messaging that will more effectively speak to your intended audience - increasing your chances of achieving your desired results.




CAREER ACTION PLAN
DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT



Don't have the time to do the research necessary to design and develop a viable and comprehensive career action plan?


No worries. We can help you with that, too.


Based upon your immediate and long-term goals and needs, we can help you with that research then help you design and flesh out a career action plan - complete with specific objectives, strategies, tactics, and deadlines.




CUSTOMIZED
FOR AFFORDABLE PRICING



While sessions and services are available on an a la carte basis, in an effort to keep this process as affordable as possible for you, we will also propose a custom-designed package with various payment arrangement options that provide additional savings for you, as well.


Again, not everyone needs everything, and we are committed to proposing only what we believe would be genuinely helpful to YOU.
