Resume writing can be a frustrating challenge. So, too, when it comes to job searches and career shifts; you might experience a lack of confidence, fear of the unknown, or a lack of knowledge/information about industry needs and expectations. To solve this problem, you may have attempted the long and unrewarding process of figuring things out on your own; that rarely works because industries differ, and so expectations are not always predictable.

 

So many steps feel impossible, too challenging, or frightfully mundane, such as:

​

• Knowing which skills flow from one career to another (and how to explain these clearly to potential employers)

• How to brand yourself on your Résumé

• Detailing, in brief, your work history

• Matching key points with a company’s mission and values in a Cover Letter

• Developing interview skills that leave people with a bright and lasting impression of who you are, professionally

• Valuable networking that benefits your career

 

These elements of the career path can feel like massive hills to climb; while they can be, they can give way to exciting times where you have the opportunity for personal and professional growth. Thinking of the process as lifelong learning can make these efforts of yours feel enriching rather than daunting.

Most people—regardless of where they are on the career path—aren’t sure what is expected of them. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the overall process and then fall into a trap and experience a lack of confidence.

 

You get in your own way, and that can result in settling for a job that doesn’t fit you (or the other way around) and you wind up waiting too long to get your résumé together and either hire a corporate service to do it for you, or slap one together with whatever template you find on the Internet.

 

Either way, you end up with a document and with choices that don’t set you apart or demonstrate your professional self in a meaningful and transparent way.

 

I employ a unique and guided approach to résumé design and strategy that:

​

• Engages people where they are on the career path

• Holds my clients to a higher standard to dig deep

• Create the tools needed to get results

• Place people on a brighter and far more confident path

 

My methods work because I align my guidance with two decades of experience working closely with leaders in a variety of industries, designing human resource leadership and career building courses, leading professional development workshops, reviewing hundreds of résumés, and having in-depth knowledge of various learning styles.

Whether you’re trying to change careers or level up your position in your current industry, working with me will result in your Career Toolbox to help you to put your achievements, experience, and confidence up front, so people see your Professional Self first, enabling you to take your next best steps on your career path.
