Career Development
Are you happy where you are? Is your career fulfilling or does it sometimes feel like a dead end? Where do you want to be five or ten years from now? Is it time to change your career course?
Imagine what the results could be if you took some time and got to 'work' determining what you REALLY want to do 'when you grow up'. We can not only help you identify and understand your career interests and options, we work with you to develop a practical, proven personal marketing program for reaching your goals. We understand the job search process well, and can tailor this knowledge to your own specific needs.
Career Development Program
We believe each person is unique, with individual needs and goals. We tailor our Career Development Coaching to fit your needs and to be most effective to your specific objectives. In general, however, you can expect that you will participate in the following steps during your program:
Part I: Assessment
Comprehensive in-depth analysis, to enable you to focus on realistic and
attainable career objectives. Where are you now?
Part II: Skills
Comparison and analysis of your skills, interest and work history will be interpreted and presented, using a variety of assessment tools. Are there skills you need to upgrade to be more employable?
Part III: Career Review Analysis
Together we analyze the information gathered, and discuss options that are realistic and attainable.
Part IV: Marketing Strategy
We will develop a "campaign strategy" that is suited to your situation. Marketing materials, including the creation of an updated resume and effective cover letters, will be developed that match your objectives. We teach the most upr-to-date techniques based on what employers are looking for in a resume, both written and online.
Part V: Accessing the Hidden Job Market
Most people don't get their jobs through traditional means, yet that is where job seekers spend most of their time - on the internet, sending out resumes, applying for jobs. We will create an effective marketing strategy to ensure you are accessing the unadvertised job market.
Part VI: Interviewing
Effective interviewing is crucial for success. We will coach you in the most effective techniques that will help you turn interviews into job offers.
Part VII: Negotiating Techniques
We will show you the way to negotiate the most advantageous compensation package with your next employer, to help ensure long term career growth.
Imagine a life where your work is meaningful and fulfilling. Where you wake up and actually look forward to going to work - where you feel valued and enriched. We believe every person has the right to not just imagine, but actually have a career just like that. That is what we help our clients to achieve. If you are willing to do roll up your sleeves and get to work on what matters most to you, you can have it, too.
