specializes in career services that help you achieve your job search
goals - faster and more successfully than you might be able to
accomplish on your own. We work with each client to formulate
personalized strategies and identify the appropriate career tools that
meet each person's particular needs. We also work with clients who
aren't seeking a job or new career opportunity, but need to have one or
more of the following tools in order to support their professional
objectives.
Resume and Career Documents
Resumes:
We create attention-getting resumes that are unique to each client. We
don't use templates or copy and paste from others that we have
developed. We pride ourselves on crafting branded resumes that are as
individual to each person as their fingerprints!
Cover, Follow-Up Letters and Thank You Letters: Depending
on the scope and type of search, we collaborate to determine what types
of letters will be most appropriate. Our cover letters include a full
range of different types depending on how the search will be executed.
Please inquire to learn more about which cover letters will complement
your search campaign.
Biographies and Executive Addenda:
Need a broader array of career documents to strengthen and round out
your executive portfolio? With the addition of a biography or
achievement addendum, you can be sure to outshine the competition.
Reference Dossiers: Keep your professional image at the forefront with the addition of formally prepared reference listings and endorsements.

about other print collateral including baseball cards, job proposals
and special reports to name just a few.
Building Your Professional Online Presence
Social Media and LinkedIn Profiles:
In today's world of ever-changing technology, it is vital that you have
a solid digital footprint. According to recent data, recruiters
immediately go to LinkedIn to search for talent. Employers and hiring
authorities will Google a candidate, at the very minimum. We recommend a
LinkedIn profile for starters, and we can develop numerous other
profiles for Google, Facebook, Naymz, Plaxo, ZoomInfo and for any sites
that are appropriate to your particular needs.
Web Portfolios and Personalized Web Sites:
We can create content, career success stories and help you determine
what visual media would be appropriate to kick up your digital presence.
