This package is for you if you want to:

    • Analyze which parts of your career skills and knowledge you’d like to bring forward into your next job.
    • Identify possible job titles and keywords to find job titles that match your skills and experience.
    • Use job boards to home in on desirable jobs. We’ll show you how to use the filters and formulas in LinkedIn, Indeed and others.
    • Tailor resumes to specific positions in order to get through the tracking systems used by most employers to screen resumes.
    • Introduction to using LinkedIn so that potential employers can learn about what you bring to the table.
    • Introduction to networking and developing a style that fits your personality.
    • Interview with ease and confidence to address common interview questions, as well as the curve balls, so that you showcase your accomplishments and genuine strengths.

Here’s how we’ll spend our time (9 Hours):

This professional package is customized to your needs, but always includes coaching in:

  • Clarifying your skills and job search criteria (1-2 hours)
  • Finding the jobs you want and are qualified for on job boards (1-2 hours)
  • Tailoring one resume and cover letter to get interviews (4-5 hours)
  • Interviewing (1 hour)
  • Negotiating the compensation you deserve when you get an offer
  • Brief LinkedIn guidance and networking support  

 Job Search for Career Pivots (5 Additional Hours)

The 9 Hour Job Search Package usually allows brief coverage of LinkedIn, networking, and adapting your resume and cover letter to additional job targets. The package is very effective if you want to move ahead in your current job title or industry. However, if you want to pivot into a new industry, identifying more potential job titles and networking become crucial. 

When you complete the nine hour package, you will have the tools to independently use the job boards to find titles, further tailor your resume and cover letter, and interview effectively.  We have hundreds of contacts in a broad range of industries, and we’ll make every effort to connect you.

However, you may need more tools and more support to:

  •  
  • Improve your LinkedIn profile with targeted keywords so recruiters can more easily find you (SEO for LinkedIn).
  • Build your network, including messaging to engage hiring managers in the companies where you want to work.
  • Customize your resume and cover letter to a wider range of positions.
