My Approach

I take a personalized approach that focuses on your specific needs. This encompasses new-career exploration, skills assessment, personal branding, resume review and rewrite, LinkedIn profile optimization, interview preparation, mock interviews, career management, and negotiation. A comprehensive program or any combination of these services is available to address your individual needs.

As part of my mission to “self-empower” people, I’m now making specific a la carte services available:

Career Exploration

Can be a challenging and rewarding process. Your work is cut out to research occupations, assess your skills/interests, and consider factors such as salary, job outlook, and work-life balance. I guide you through the process, brainstorming ideas with you, supporting you, and helping you to stay on track.
(recommended minimum – six sessions)

Personal Branding

Getting to know Y.O.U. is the first step in developing your brand. Collaborative sessions can include exploration of new and/or taken assessments, SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analysis, strength/interest overlap, and creation of your unique value proposition.
(recommended minimum – two sessions)

Resume Review

Your resume needs a review for current trends, modern templates, ATS-friendliness, and impactful content. This is a careful review of your resume to provide you with recommendations for updates. Transfer of original resume to an eligible template is included. You will complete all remaining changes.
(recommended – up to two sessions dependent upon original content and format)

Resume Refresh

Includes all the features of the Resume Review plus complete editing and proofing. Impactful content requires success stories; so, your active input is required. Includes delivery of resume master, ATS-compatible version, fully formatted and proofed; also includes allowance for up to two updates.
(recommended – up to four sessions dependent upon original content and format)

LinkedIn Profile Content Optimization

Optimizing your LinkedIn profile is a great place to build your professional image and credibility. Upon thorough review of the existing content, I will recommend ways to help you stand out. We will ensure that your profile is clear and professional, and that all content is peppered with the relevant keywords to get you noticed.
(recommended up to two sessions)

LinkedIn Leveraging

With an optimized LI profile, it’s now time to leverage it! We will discuss how to use your connection network – and others you may not know – to conduct informational interviews and improve your position to get hired.
(recommended – up to two sessions)

Interview Preparation

It’s important to prepare yourself to make a great impression. We’ll start by researching the company and the role you’re applying for, as this can help you understand what they’re looking for in a candidate. We’ll practice common interview questions and think about specific examples of your experience and accomplishments that you can share.
My mantra is “Preparation breeds confidence. Confidence gets results!
(recommended – up to two sessions)

Mock Interview

What we prepare, we will practice. I am the interviewer and you, the interviewee. You supply me with a job description of interest and a copy of your resume. I interview with a focus on the ten most frequently asked interview questions. I provide immediate feedback and insights. The session is recorded for you.
(recommended minimum – one session)

Negotiating Job Offers

Get prepared for the time when you will receive your job offer. We will review how to determine your market value, ideal timing for a negotiation, identify what intangible items we may want to negotiate, and prepare scripts for the negotiation conversation.
(recommended minimum – two sessions)
