We partner with you to create resumes that capture your unique Spirit at work
- your contributions, skills and accomplishments. After working with
hundreds of clients, we find that people are able to identify their duties and
responsibilities but have more difficulty identifying their accomplishments.
Through targeted and sensitive interviewing, we help you identify not only your
accomplishments but also what stirs your Spirit about work - what fuels your
genuine enthusiasm and passion.
We create resumes that:
- Capture your unique Spirit and contributions
- Deliver an employer-focused, powerful marketing of
your skills
- Distinguish you from your competition
- Strongly position you for the career you are
seeking
- Work for you!
Additionally, we offer
As part of our commitment to
community service, we offer a free 2 hour workshop, Creating a Resume that
Works for You!, to suburban Chicago nonprofit organizations. Contact
us for further information and to schedule a workshop.
SERVICES
RESUME SERVICES
We work with you one-on-one, in
person or on the telephone, to develop your resume. We do not require that
you fill out lengthy questionnaires. Our expertise is asking the right
questions to draw from you the highlights of your work accomplishments. We
want you actively involved in the development of your resume to assure that your
resume reflects your unique personality and Spirit. We find that writing a
resume is a process, so we will ask you to spend some time reviewing our work
together and contributing additions or revisions.
Prices are determined by individual
circumstances, length and complexity of work history and whether or not you have
started a resume. Generally our prices range from $100 for an entry level
or new graduate resume to $400 for an executive level resume. Reviews and
critiques of already completed resumes are billed at an hourly rate and
generally require an hour or less of review.
Please call or email us and we
will give you a specific quote.
We will begin our work together with
a consultation that will take about an hour. In order to prepare, list all
your job titles, companies, and work dates. Generally, you will not need
to go back further than 12-14 years, unless an earlier experience is
particularly relevant to the work you are seeking. Consider with each job
what you liked most and least about it. Note if there is anything that
stands out in your mind about each position. You may send us your list or
your resume draft.
A word of caution: some clients say
that they disliked their work and have nothing of note to remember a position
by. This is often because the client did not like the circumstances or
environment related to that job. Try to separate your work from the
environment you were working in and consider again, what you liked about the
work itself.
After our initial consultation, we
will work on your resume and may ask you to consider further questions about
individual positions. We will arrange a second consultation to edit and
revise your resume. Based on this consultation, you will be sent a draft
to finalize and accept.
CAREER COACHING
- Confused about your career direction?
- Considering a completely different field?
- Wondering how to advance in the
field that you are in?
We offer individual career coaching to help you
obtain clarity about your career direction. Call or email to arrange a
complimentary session to explore your needs and what we can offer.
An advantage of our service is that
once you decide on your direction, we can design a resume built on your
transferable skills that will help position you for entry into the field of your
choice.
JOB SEARCH AND INTERVIEW COACHING
- Are you actively engaged in a
job search?
- Are you feeling insecure about
interviewing and how to find jobs?
- Are you feeling isolated and
having trouble maintaining motivation?
We offer job search coaching
tailored to your specific needs. We can help you devise a job search
strategy that is effective and that works for you.
Clients say that interview coaching
is particularly helpful and that it is much more valuable to have "live" help
rather than tips they have read in books or on the Net. In typical
interview sessions, client are coached in answering interview questions such as
"Tell me about yourself", "What is your greatest weakness?", "What are your
salary expectations?", and "Where do you see yourself in five years?".
After one session, clients report feeling more confident about their
interviewing skills.
