The following services are provided bundled or unbundled, face to face or over the phone in either ½ hour, 50 minute, or 90 minute sessions:
- Preparation of a Personal Career Marketing Plan - Most people rely on one or two common search methods to find a new job when the truth is that a multifaceted, non-conventional approach is much more successful.
I can help you develop and leverage your personal network, identify advertised and unadvertised opportunities, and practice non-traditional strategies in an organized and tactical fashion. - Resume Writing - Through strategic, attention-getting design and crisp, captivating writing, your resume will end up on top of the pile. The key is what you do before setting fingers to keyboard: the identification of appropriate job targets and key accomplishments. I can help you with the big picture issues as well as the fine points to develop a compelling resume that doesn't lose its luster when submitted on-line.

You can learn how your test results translate into career choices that will give you the most success and satisfaction.
