Career Help - Packages
Direction, Job Search, Applications...

Career Compass
Need some help clarifying options? Let's work together to articulate what you love to do and where people will pay you do to it. Then we'll narrow down options based on your realities to help you get moving in directions that fit you.

Work Style Assessment
Use the world-renowned Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality assessment tool to help clarify your work style. (Coming soon!)

Learn to break some of the rules in a professional way and stand out from the very first line of your letter. Includes assistance with two custom cover letters plus one hour of job search coaching.

Interviewing
Are you a nervous babbler? If you could be any kitchen appliance, what would you be? I'll help you overcome distracting interview habits and weird interview questions and grow into a more confident candidate. I'll also help you learn how to authentically connect with employers so that you can both decide if you want to work together. Two hours of coaching (by phone or in person) which includes behavioural interview strategies and one mock interview.

Résumé/Curriculum Vitae (CV)
New to the process of putting your stellar qualities on paper? Wondering whether what you've been using for years is really working as well as it could? Get an honest and in-depth review of your existing document. It might sting a little but I won't leave you stranded.
