Job Search Advising and Targeted Resume Writing

Finding a job is hard, especially when you’re wanting to try new things. My role is to be your partner and coach in taking a deep dive into your job search materials and tactics, and in identifying new strategies and techniques that will help you enter the job market with renewed confidence.

Targeted Resume

Job Search Strategy

Without a strategy, looking for a job is overwhelming.  A job search strategy helps you stay focused and provides direction during the job search process.  You’ll feel more in control and less anxiety.

Targeted Resumes

A recruiter only spends 5-7 seconds reviewing a resume, and most do not read cover letters at this  point. That’s why your resume must speak directly to the position you are applying for.

Networking

Experts say 85% of jobs are filled through networking.  Many job seekers don’t network because they feel like it’s inauthentic or “fake”, they have social anxiety, or they feel like they are bothering others. You can learn skills to make networking easier and more productive.

LinkedIn

Do you feel like you are using LinkedIn to its full networking capacity?  We’ll review how to find contacts and network on LinkedIn, how recruiters use LinkedIn to find candidates, and make sure your profile is optimized to get you found for the job you want.  

Interview Skills

Struggle with the dreaded “Tell me about yourself”?  Not sure how to answer all those “Tell me about a time when…” questions?  Not familiar with the STAR technique – every recruiter is. We’ll get you prepared and practiced for your next interview

Negotiating an Offer

You don’t get what you don’t ask for.  But knowing when and how to negotiate is confusing. During your first screening interview with a recruiter, they will often ask “What is your desired compensation.” Preparation for salary questions and negotiations is key to getting you the compensation you deserve.
