Job hunting is the worst (if your personal brand isn't at its best).
Writing your own resume is a pain.
Seriously, who has the time or energy?
Job interviews can be tough.
Especially if you're a bit rusty.
Networking isn't what it used to be.
Now it's all impersonal and online.
Salary negotiations are often awkward.
More so if you don't have a clear plan of attack.
Switching careers can be daunting.
Is it possible? Where should one start?
WHAT BROUGHT YOU HERE?
If you feel underappreciated at work, underpaid, underemployed, unfulfilled, unclear, or any other "un"... don't go it alone.
As an EXECUTIVE RESUME WRITER and CERTIFIED CAREER COACH, I am here to help. Over the last decade, I have helped hundreds of clients land great job interviews--and secure lucrative offers--at Fortune 500 companies, renowned nonprofits, and disruptive startups (aka the 'cool' companies making the news).
HOW EXACTLY DO I DO THIS?
I ask the right questions. I listen. Then I get to work.
RESUME + LINKEDIN WRITING:
Specifically, I help clients create compelling and modern resumes, vibrant LinkedIn profiles, and strong professional portfolios that help them land job interviews.
CAREER + INTERVIEW COACHING:
I help clients navigate career change (from one industry to another, one job function to another, one geography to another -- and sometimes all three). I coach clients on how to interview confidently, network effectively, earn promotions, and negotiate higher salaries.
WHEN I'M NOT WRITING OR COACHING, MUCH OF MY TIME IS SPENT:
+ conducting industry research
+ attending (or leading) webinars
+ talking to other HR subject matter experts and recruiters (I was one, once)
+ absorbing best practices
+ and reading tons of relevant & high-quality books, magazines, and newsletters
I DO ALL THIS SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
This saves you headaches and tons of time in the long run. And time is money--especially if you're grossly underpaid or out of work.
HOW MAY I HELP YOU?
If you're looking to:
+ RE-ENERGIZE your job search
+ REDIRECT your career path
+ LEVEL UP your professional skills
Then you've come to the right place.
CAVEAT EMPTOR (LATIN FOR "BUYER BEWARE")
Hiring a resume writer or career coach is a very personal experience. You'll want to find someone who understands you. Not just your career landscape and industry lingo, but YOU. Your personality. Your vibe. It's always a good idea to do your due diligence, ask for a brief consultation, and get a feel for the writer or coach before you end up shelling out your hard-earned money.
RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
There are many resume writers and career coaches out there. As with any service, some are cheap, some expensive. Some great, some mediocre. The adage "you get what you pay for" rings true here. Occasionally, I get clients who find me after a less-than-ideal experience with a previous (cheaper) resume writer who botched their resume and caused endless headaches. Precious time was lost. So much for a "good deal."
It's important to me that I aim for transparency and fairness in all that I do. My resume services are in line with industry standards, meaning they are not cheap. The pricing reflects the near decade of relevant experience, the years of pain-staking study, numerous credentials earned, multiple conferences and webinars attended, and the great care that I infuse into each client project. I don't think it's corny at all to say that I care about each client--it's the way I run my business.
I live by the adage: YOUR success is MY success.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, MY PRICING REFLECTS RESULTS.
If you spend $500 or even $1000+ on a resume service, but it leads to a job much faster than you would get otherwise, or it helps you land a job with a salary increase of $50,000 or even just $5,000, is that not worth the investment? Where else can you get a better ROI (legally)?
Perhaps, as is sometimes the case, the new salary is not astronomically larger, but the new resume allows you to make the move to a hard-to-break-into industry that you've coveted for years, and now you finally have your dream job that makes you smile instead of cringe. What is that milestone worth to you? The price of a nice TV from Costco? Perhaps a little bit more?
While there are never any guarantees in life, my clients tend to get more traction from recruiters, they tend to interview more confidently, and they tend to land higher-paying jobs. They also report feeling much more centered about their career choices. Together with my clients, we make order out of chaos.
Certainly, I am not a magician. I am not perfect (who is?). But I work hard on each project and take great pride in each client's success.
My work does straddle both the science and the art of human behavior: I am well-versed in personal branding, technical writing, communications, marketing, design, and technology.
In short, I know what it takes to get a stagnant job search off the ground and overcome the often gnarly challenges of modern-day professional life.
Now that you've read this far, I can guess that you're pretty serious about investing in your career development. About investing in yourself. To that end, I invite you to explore my site, check out the testimonials and samples, visit my LinkedIn profile for recommendations and my new Yelp page for reviews, and reach out with any questions.
Looking forward to helping you put your best foot forward.
Gratefully,
