We decide the outcomes you want to achieve, and schedule one-on-one sessions to make clear and consistent progress.
better understand yourself
I provide a professional consultation using career assessment tools ensuring a full understanding of results and real-world application. The report is also connected to career interests, desired work environment, and preferred direction. Each assessment focuses on different components of the individual which will be the center of discussion.
PLAN Your career
Many people are less certain about what they want to do, what roles will best use their strengths and capture their passion. I will facilitate a highly productive, rigorous, invigorating discussion that will lead to setting a career direction that will be both challenging and rewarding.
PREPARE YOUR RESUME/CV
Resume preparation includes a full scope of support from updating a resume/CV to building a resume/CV that effectively introduces and creates interest in you for today’s competitive job market. I will provide a finalized professional resume including hard and electronic copies. Additionally, you will receive guidance on creating compelling cover letters that get you noticed.
PREPARe for interviews
Landing your preferred professional role typically involves an impactful, dynamic interview experience that distinguishes you from the competition. I will provide customized interview practice and preparation sessions, including understanding typical recruiter questions, thoughtful responses, interviewer styles and types of interviews, candidate presence, pitfalls to avoid, preparing questions to ask the interviewer as well as guidance on how to research companies and share your findings during the interview.
You and I can debrief each interview and identify insights and changes for the next interview. You will gain a better understanding of the importance of being authentic, how to present your strengths and value, reasons for leaving former positions, and discuss opportunities for development.
Improve your LINKEDIN profile
LinkedIn Profiles are an important component of the job search – this professional social media tool is the #1 recruiting tool for Recruiters and Hiring Managers in the US. Clearly communicating the right information is key to the success of a job strategy. I will provide an assessment of your LinkedIn profile and include customized recommendations that will result in a professional, value-focused profile.
craft an "ELEVATOR SPEECH"
Presenting yourself in a succinct, positive, descriptive manner positively influences how Hiring Managers see you and your potential value to their organizations. You have about 60 seconds, or the average length of an elevator ride, to make an impression. I will work with you to craft an elevator speech that establishes your brand in a positive and memorable manner.

You will create a prioritized networking list accompanied by customized conversation points to yield the best results. Additionally, I will provide guidance on how to best use your personality strengths to develop a tailored networking style and enhance confidence to build and effectively use your network.
Plan your RETURN TO THE Workforce
Absences from the workforce occur for different reasons. There is no need for this to hinder you from landing a professional opportunity. Finding the right strategy to return to the workforce is important in landing the opportunity that aligns with your knowledge, skills, and goals. I will work with you to develop a customized approach that will lead to a realistic path forward.
