You have the desire. We have the strategy. Together get you career happy.

If any of these ring true...

- I know what I want to say, but not how to say it


- I should be getting more responses, views, opportunities, clients


- I’ve never had to look for a job/opportunity throughout my career 


- I’m ready for a change, but don’t know how to make it happen


- I like my company, I just want to move up or have more impact


- I want something more, but don’t know what or even how to start


- I want to target a new industry/career, how do I tailor my past


- People don’t see me professionally for who I am or what I can do


- I want to be a more effective, influential speaker


- I want to connect with people (clients, staff, leaders) better


- I want to interview better


- I want to be a better leader


- I want to expand my network

...you’re at the right place.

Hidden Job Search

I'm ready for my next position - job search

I want to be prepared

I want to strengthen my personal brand, positioned to 'be found' and be prepared without actively looking 


or I have a specific job I want to apply to now, I'm just looking for a 'one and done'. 


 RESUME / LINKEDIN ONLY INVESTMENT

based on career levels. Branding material creation only with no additional job search support.

TAKE ME TO INACTIVE STRATEGY

I'm planning on responding

I need or want branding tools (Resume/LinkedIn), my primary search activities will be responding to job boards and maybe talking to my existing network.  


This is a customization for a target position and additional coaching strategy option available as a stand alone or in addition - at a discount - your Resume and/or LinkedIn creation.



Take me to REACTIVE STRATEGY

I want to take control

It's estimated 50% - 85% of jobs aren't visible to job seekers. I want to learn how to tap this market, shorten search time, with better results.


This is a customization for a target position, cracking of the hidden job market  and additional coaching strategy option available as a stand alone or in addition - at a discount - to your Resume and/or LinkedIn creation.  Training only available under 'Alliance Building' Tab Hidden Job Market.

TAKE ME TO PROACTIVE STRATEGY

I'm ready to shine - career enhancement

I've interviewed but not received offers or I need interview prep to nail it

 With a range of interview assistance options, we have just the right tools you need to shine in your interview. We have negotiation coaching for your best offer.

take me to Interviewing

I want to improve my connectivity, influence, delivery and speaking skills

Tongue-tied to silver-tongued, we can help any professional improve their public speaking delivery, confidence, audience connection and influence. 

Take me to Public Speaking

I want to expand on or build my professional network

"It's not what you know but who you know" … but how do you get to know them? With building and expanding your network coaching and training.

Take me to networking

Why all the options?

Because having only an engine won't get you where you want to go

Your baseline personal branding (Resume, LinkedIn, etc.) is like the engine of a car. It's the core. But without the transmission, body, gas and other parts, that car isn't going anywhere.  


The additional parts - strategy, interviewing, negotiating, career coaching etc. combined give you a full set of tools and the power of how to use them to achieve your goals. 


The choice is always yours and we will support you; however we will not shortchange you by neglecting to inform you of your options and their benefits.
