I'm a former newspaper journalist with a counseling degree and more than a decade of experience coaching others through job transitions. ► WHAT I DO: I help clients escape dead-end jobs, rebound after layoffs, and reenter the working world after being a caregiver or entrepreneur. I write custom resumes, cover letters, and LinkedIn profiles. I also coach clients to use LinkedIn and online tools to streamline their job hunts. ► WHY I DO IT: An updated résumé and LinkedIn profile is critical to a successful job hunt, but many dedicated workers haven’t been in the job market for years and aren’t aware of how the job hunt has evolved. I love empowering workers with tailored, up-to-date documents and coaching, giving them a chance to pause and give themselves credit for all that they’ve accomplished. ► HOW I JUMP START YOUR JOB SEARCH: ● Uncover your hidden value with an in-depth interview before I write a word. I focus on strengths and successes. ● Craft a value statement – the core value you bring to the workplace in a few sentences – to use as the foundation for your job hunt. ● Identify problems with your current resume in a resume review, to help you navigate employer ATS, LinkedIn algorithms, or busy, stressed out hiring managers. ● Update your resume with modern formatting and content that tells your unique story and positions you for the next level in your profession. ● Get a response! Enough with radio-silence. My clients get calls, sometimes after hearing nothing for months of applications. ● Prepare for interviews, with mock interview sessions to help you practice speaking about yourself with ease. ● Create a LinkedIn profile as unique as you are, capturing your personality and voice while maintaining the highest professional standard
