Resume Coaching

Resume Coaching

Potomac, MD
Presenting yourself with a professional profile is an important component of your career success. Your resume and LinkedIn profile need to display professionalism while also being contemporary, attractive, concise, and impactful, emphasizing results and achievements rather than just the functions you’ve filled. Even without a long career history with impressive statistics, the right wording can highlight your achievements and create the impression that you’ve made things happen. As an expert in marketing, I know just how to do that. With LinkedIn, it’s important to not think of it as a social platform. Many people avoid LinkedIn by saying that they’re not “into social media”, but that’s a big mistake. LinkedIn is an invaluable business tool that allows you to network with a wide span of people who can inform you of the advantages and disadvantages of certain career paths, while also helping you to identify exclusive job opportunities.

Are you working towards a promotion but keep hitting roadblocks? Are you confused about what your next professional development move needs to be? Do you lack any additional skills or want to go back to school? If any of this describes you, career counseling can help you make the right decisions. I have helped hundreds of people improve their job satisfaction, receive a raise and/or promotion, and develop the confidence and focus to advance in their careers.

Professional Networking

Professional Networking

Potomac, 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 Potomac, MD.
Life Coaching

Life Coaching

Potomac, MD
The majority of my clients get what I will would term very significant value from their sessions. They are able to sharpen their life and/or relationship goals; they get clarity on a path (or paths) forward to achieve those goals, and they acquire knowledge or enhance certain skills that help them get to those goals. Because they are imparted with new strengths, attitudes, and perspectives they are able to identify and pursue possibilities that weren’t even imagined before, or which might have been imagined but then dismissed as impractical or impossible.

My 3-Stage Process:

Stage One

STAGE

1

Self awareness. What are your strengths, your skills, your likes and dislikes, your values, your life goals? The answers to these questions will enable us to identify the most promising paths to explore. In this stage I will also identify and help you overcome any major obstacles to progress such as low self-confidence, discouragement, or procrastination.

Stage Two

STAGE

2

I will educate you on the pluses and minuses of various careers and craft a very specific program to enable you to gain the knowledge of these paths that is essential to making the best career choice.

Stage Three

STAGE

3

Marketing. Once having identified the most promising career choices, as a marketing expert I will work with you to ensure that your approach and job hunting materials are first rate.
