Interview Coaching
Vienna, VA
What are the qualities about you that have contributed most to your success? This is a question that will help an interviewer gauge whether what you value about yourself is a quality likely to be a good fit with the organization’s culture and your boss and team. Answering it for yourself can help guide you towards a more fulfilling career path as you begin to outline criteria against which a future career choice can be judged (e.g. “attention to detail” and “good at following through” might suggest that you consider project management, while “leadership abilities” or “creativity” might point you away from administrative occupations). 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 Vienna, VA, call me today.
Resume Coaching
Vienna, VA
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.

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.

Professional Networking
Vienna, VA
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.
