The program is for you if ...


Marketing yourself is not your forte

Talking about yourself feels awkward at best, and you're not sure how to effectively present and sell your skill set. You haven't defined your personal brand (heck - you might not even want to) but you know you need to stand out from the crowd somehow.

You need help securing a strategy that allows your application to speak for itself.

Your resume is falling through the cracks

Every online application seems to enter that proverbial "black hole." You don't know if hiring teams are even looking at your resume or finding your LinkedIn profile. You know your resume could use some tweaks but you're not sure where to start.

You need help with keyword optimization for human eyeballs to see you.

Companies don't know how you can help

Maybe you're using the same resume for every application. Maybe you're listing job duties instead of measurable achievements. You've got lots to offer, but you haven't yet convinced a prospective employer to call you instead of the next candidate.

You need help showing each company how your skills solve their unique problems.

You'd rather job search solo for reals, yo!

You are a quiet jobseeker. You're not a huge fan of big crowds or small talk. "Networking" might even be a cringeworthy term. You know your job search would benefit from more connections but you don't want to waste precious time or energy getting there.

You need help reaching out in a meaningful way without feeling annoying, needy, or desperate.

Did you know ...


Marketing yourself can be easy & fun

In the world of hiring and recruitment, you are a product, a candidate-product. You sit on a shelf full of other candidates so need to flesh out your personal brand to stand out. And no branding isn't bragging. It's authentic; it's your reputation ... your UVP.

Resumes greet eyeballs in many ways

If the online applicant tracking systems (ATS) seem to be filtering you out at every turn, we can fix that! You'll also be relieved to know there are other options. Getting your resume into the right hands doesn't have to be tedious, complicated, or mysterious.

How you help begins with a skills story

Companies want to know how you can help them make money, save money, or save time. One-size-fits-all resumes and cover letters don't cut it. Instead, you'll learn to craft a targeted solutions story about how your skills-offer solves each company's problems.

Networking doesn't have to be painful!

I'm 100% in the quiet, solo camp. But believe me when I say leveraging a network is the sand on your job-search beach. It's how you become a person instead of an applicant; it's how you'll stand out in a sea of candidates. It's also the gateway to the hidden job market.
