Career troubles got you down?
Maybe it's time to bring in a professional.
COACHING: I help people sort through the conflicting advice, information overwhelm and myriad choices to come up with a clear plan to reach their goals. I will guide you toward effective strategies that are likely to provide real results. I can help kick-start a job hunt, clarify a new career path, or breathe life into a stagnant career. I specialize in career transitions, having helped many clients change fields and being a career changer myself. Your only limitation is how much effort you're willing to put in.
RESUME WRITING: Whether it's your first job search or your tenth, I can help you package yourself to get the interview.
- New grad? No experience? No problem. I can help you maximize whatever experience you do have, capitalize on your knowledge and convey your capabilities to an employer.
- "Overqualified"? Facing age discrimination? I can help you weed out irrelevant details and convey only the information the employer most wants to hear. At the same time, I will be careful not to "lose" any of your expertise -- no matter how far in the past you acquired it. Your new resume will sell your experience as a strength instead a liability.
- Dull resume with perfunctory duties? I will create a resume that sparkles! By unearthing your true accomplishments and applying a design that spotlights your best features, together we'll write a document that employers will notice. Many of my clients say their new resumes restored their confidence so they were ready to approach their job hunt with renewed energy.
- Career changer? Let me help you recast your resume in your new field by identifying transferable skills and situations that will help employers "connect the dots." We will sell your broad background as a plus.
- Job jumper? Too many gaps? Returning to workforce? Ex-offender? I have created resumes for people with all these barriers. No career situation is too challenging!
AND EVERYTHING ELSE: Sometimes, the best strategy is an anti-strategy, like not sending your resume or not applying to posted jobs. How do you know when to break the rules? I'll teach you my guerrilla career moves (and warn you of mistakes to avoid) based on 25+ years of managing my own career and countless interviews with career experts. I can help you write resume-alternatives and put together a career portfolio that provides evidence of your qualifications. And, of course, when you land that interview, I can coach you get the offer, the raise and the promotion.
