Career Counseling
This service is for individuals who have tried to figure out their next career steps and are struggling in moving forward. They have been almost paralyzed in their thinking because they feel there is no way out. Fortunately, there is an entire career counseling process that exists to help you find your place. Career counseling is a process where we will work collaboratively to determine your interests, values and personality type in order to generate career options for you to consider. Most of my clients enjoy this process since they can gain validation about their feelings related to career issues and move on to unlock the potential to reach their dreams. It is a very reflective and stimulating journey that also requires some hard work. Read More on Career Counseling.
LinkedIn Biographies
LinkedIn profiles are one of the most significant components of successfully landing your next position. In fact, LinkedIn profiles are an essential element of the job search and need to be well crafted in order to attract recruiters. Why? Because recruiters are canvassing this professional networking site (24×7) to locate their next qualified candidate. Overhauling your profile includes creating a compelling headline, a narrative summary, professional specialties, areas of expertise, education, interests, contact settings and additional categories.

Career Assessments
Career assessments are designed to help you take stock of what you value, not only in a career, but in your life. They are essential tools for laying the foundation for solid career decision making. Most of my clients enjoy this process because they are finally able to understand their career issues. This helps launch the “go for it” phase. People become more optimistic about their life and move forward into the next stages of their career. Read More on Career Assessment.
Cover Letters
If your cover letter is not designed properly, it could knock you out of the running for a position. These letters must be carefully crafted so that you engage the reader to get to the next page – your resume!
Myers-Briggs / Strong Interest Inventory
The MBTI and the Strong Interest Inventory are only two of the most powerful career assessment tools used in the world to uncover personality type and career-related interests. Read More On Career Assessment Tests.
Interview Preparation
When you land that interview, you will need to prepare just like an attorney prepares for court. The research shows the best prepared candidates will always land the job before less prepared candidates. We will work together to ensure you get that offer!
Salary Negotiations
Tense negotiations accompany many job searches. When you need to bounce your compensation package and think through whether the offer meets your needs, I am here to help.
