If you're struggling with how to get your career search going, the answer begins with how you represent yourself in your online profile, a resume, and growing a professional job referral network.

 

As our clients create their LinkedIn profile and resume, we focus on their VALUE. They learn how to:

1. Identify their skills 
2. Clearly state key achievements 
3. Be specific about the outcomes of their work
4. Quantify their value

If you take a look at most profiles and resumes, they list tasks and responsibilities, almost as though they are job descriptions.  When we coach clients, they are able to clearly express the outcomes of their contributions to work in both in quantitative and qualitative terms---what hiring managers and recruiters are looking for!  As a result,

 

• Hiring managers and recruiters reach out
• Job referrals become abundant
• Interviews result in offers
• Negotiations result in a higher compensation 

When your outcomes are clear, so is your value to employers.  When you do this work and KNOW YOUR VALUE, you have a better chance at getting the interviews and job opportunities 

 

Here's a great tool for converting your responsibilities to a value proposition...
