WorkSearch™ Strategy Review
This creative and innovative intake and working interview helps you learn effective work search process as well as helping us learn your situation, review your work search activities, do a critique of resume, complete and interpret two work search effectiveness assessments and give you next-step recommendations for more effective job hunting (1 1/2 hours, $100 USD).
Professional Resume Critique
This review and written suggestions increases the impact of your resume to get prospective employers to desire an interview ($50 USD). Cost of the critique is applicable to full resume development if selected following critique.
Professional Resume Writing & Development
Resumes, often dull chronologies, must excite readers to take action–call or email for an interview; most resumes don’t do this. This service puts you in partnership with your consultant to produce in three hours a document focused on getting the prospect employer to contact you: 1-2 pages in length in 2 formats, MS Word and Scannable, includes information gathering interview/questionnaire ($195 USD; second version of resume, $80, same formats). Satisfaction guaranteed, or the full fee refunded.
Cover Letter Writing & Coaching
Letter writing to accompany a resume must engage and excite readers to want more, both a comparable and stimulating resume and then to interview you, the candidate. This service includes an information-gathering interview and coaching (usually one hour) so that you learn the skill ($80/hour USD).
Interview Practice & Coaching
“Practice makes perfect,” as the saying goes. Those investing in rehearsal improve their presentation dramatically. Initial service takes 1 ½ hours, includes video recording and review ($120 USD); a second videotaping and review, often exponentially improving your delivery, is $80/hour USD.
WorkSearch™ / Career Research
Finding insight and critically important information can both help in the application process of cover letter and resume development as well as in preparation for interviews and making career changes. This service may involve Internet and/or library research ($80/hour USD billed by the quarter hour).
