Interview Coaching
Chevy Chase, MD
It’s the rare (and lucky) individual who will secure a job offer from the first interview. You may have to interview for many positions before you get the offer you want. Use your unsuccessful interviewing experience to sharpen your presentation. In particular, focus on whether you clearly and persuasively articulated your competences AND whether you did a good job of explaining how they aligned with the specific challenges of the position. There’s no more important task in selling yourself. During my career, I was able to rise to the top of the advertising industry. Here, I developed the marketing know-how needed to understand how one effectively markets themselves for a job. I’ve also interviewed many candidates during my career, making me an excellent coach. My interview coaching is helpful and effective for anyone, even individuals who feel shy or lack lots of experience. For interview coaching in Chevy Chase, MD, call me today.
Resume Coaching
Chevy Chase, MD
A well-presented profile is an important aspect to any successful career. To present yourself well, you need an impactful resume and LinkedIn profile that are up-to-date and appealing, highlighting your results and achievements. It doesn’t matter if you have a long history of achievements or not, I have the experience to help you present yourself as someone who makes things happen. With my skills, I can guide you on how to create a profile and resume that will make an impact. If you haven’t focused on LinkedIn with the excuse that you’re “not into social media”, it’s time for a change. From my experience, LinkedIn is not a typical social media platform, but a unique tool that professionals can take advantage of to expand their network across various industries. Through these networking connections, you can learn the advantages and disadvantages of specific careers and organizations and learn about new job opportunities before they are posted to the public.

Chevy Chase, MD

In my time as a career counselor, I have helped hundreds of clients find a career they love, successfully ask for a raise or promotion, and develop the confidence to advance in their career.

Career counseling and guidance is designed to help you gain confidence in making a difficult career decision by providing you with knowledgable, objective outside perspective and guiding you through a series of thought-provoking questions. Are you employing the best strategies in your career search? Are you being honest and forthright about what you want? Is now the right time to change jobs?

Professional Networking
Chevy Chase, MD
Networking is five times more likely to result in a job offer than is sending resumes and is undoubtedly the single most important tool in the job hunter’s kit. However, you may be surprised at the degree to which “networking” was assumed to be only about seeking a job… period. In fact, networking is a process that is (or should be) used in many different ways and at many different career steps/stages. Contact me today to schedule a career counseling session focused on professional networking in Chevy Chase, MD.
