Job Search Strategy and Plan

Development of a personalized and strategic plan for your job search and networking efforts. Together, I will solidify your personal brand to better understand your unique qualities and differentiate yourself from the competition. I will develop target opportunities, industries, companies, and individuals to keep your efforts focused and intentional. In addition, we will explore your current network and identify opportunities to expand your network. The Job Search Strategy and Plan will include a health check of job search tools and next steps in your career transition journey. At the end of our engagement, you will receive not only a focused plan for your job search but also a renewed sense of confidence, excitement, and motivation about your future.

Personal Branding

Creation of your personal brand messaging to be applied to all your job search efforts and career advancement opportunities. Your brand links your experience, personal strengths, differentiators, and goals in a strategic value proposition that differentiates you from your competition and resonates with your target audience.

Resume Development

Master Resume: A master resume is a comprehensive document that contains all of your professional experiences, skills, accomplishments, education, certifications, and other relevant information in one centralized place. It serves as a repository of your entire career history and is typically used as a reference or foundation when tailoring resumes for specific job applications.

Job-Specific: A Master Resume tailored to a specific job opportunity, translating your capabilities and accomplishments to what is meaningful to the employer. Employer keywords and industry terminology will be incorporated into the resume. Resume development will also include changing the format, if needed, to meet modern style guidelines and to pass through Applicant Tracking Systems.

Resume Critique: After reviewing the job posting and your resume, I will offer broad recommendations for improvement on your resume content to better reflect your capabilities and accomplishments (in general or for a specific job) and any updates to the format you’ll need to make to meet modern style guidelines and to pass through Applicant Tracking Systems.

Cover Letter Development

Review and provide suggested edits to your cover letter to create a well-crafted, engaging introduction letter to complement your resume. An effective cover letter should be tailored towards a specific position, and, as such, a thoughtful review of the job posting and your job-specific resume will be included.

Personal LinkedIn Profile Development

Since multiple studies show that over 85% of hiring managers are active on LinkedIn, you want a presence there. It starts with a strong profile that is packed full of keywords and is written to maximize SEO. I will review and update all fields on your personal LinkedIn profile, incorporating occupation and industry-specific keywords. You will uncover opportunities to build your credibility, market yourself, and provide details about your experience, skills, and education to give your audience a strong understanding of your personal brand. In addition, you will learn how to increase your connections and recommendations to create a more robust presence on LinkedIn.

Company LinkedIn Page Development

Review, update, and populate all fields on your company’s LinkedIn company page to optimize your brand and generate new leads. Identify opportunities to expand your reach, build your credibility, drive sales, and promote your products or services. Industry-specific keywords and terminology will be incorporated into your company page to maximize SEO. Close attention will be paid to your LinkedIn brand to ensure it matches the content on other company media channels.

Interview Skills Coaching

Whether your interview skills need refreshing, or your past interviews aren’t resulting in a job offer, I can help. Studies have shown that recruiters and hiring managers make their decisions within the first two minutes of the interview. An employer will ultimately offer you the position because they like you and believe that you will work well with their team. While answers to interview questions are important, so are your body language, humility, and social interaction skills. I will help you conquer the first step in a job offer – the interview.

Career Transition Guidance

If you are planning a career transition, it is essential to be strategic and intentional through the change. We will explore and identify your personal brand identity and target opportunities, industries, companies, and individuals to expand your network. My guidance will include researching the occupation, industry, or market you want to move into, a skills gap analysis, and the development of a job search strategy, networking plan, and compelling resume. At the end of our engagement, you will receive a focused plan for your job search and a renewed sense of confidence, excitement, and motivation for your future.

Design Think Your Career

I use the principles of design thinking to better understand the industries, companies, or individuals you are interested in, identify problems they are currently facing, and creatively explore solutions as a path for your next career. Design Think Your Career is an adaptation of the 5-step, iterative process traditionally used in product and software design to help you adopt a creative mindset and apply it to the challenges employers face. and strategy, health check of job search tools, and growth opportunities.
