Who I work with
My expertise is storytelling: I take what are often disjointed career decisions and strategically weave them into a narrative that is easy to understand and highlights your unique abilities. In this way, I consider myself a resume generalist–I can create an effective resume for just about anyone.
I do have a particular fondness for supporting clients through challenging transitions, such as military to civilian, academic to private sector, government to business, and “Second Life” jobs (those seeking jobs after a long break in employment of after retirement).
My clients generally find themselves within one of these categories:
If you are seeking a job after a long break in employment or after retirement, I consider you a “Second Lifer”. This could apply to parents returning from extended family leave; those retiring from one field and excited to start a new career in another; individuals returning to the workforce after prolonged illness or injury. Or any other reason that you might simply be starting over.
I honor the service and the undeniable skills of our service people. I also understand that not every government skill translates easily into civilian or corporate life. Let me be your interpreter. I can assist you in breaking down your experience in a way that is not only understood but value-added when it comes time to come home or move into the private sector.
It’s often easy for you to see the big picture for the company, the team, or the product, but when it comes to honing in on your own brand, you may struggle. That’s where I can help you shine. I love crafting distinct targeted professional brands that create their own buzz and following.
Your team is thriving and profit is up because of your leadership–but how does that translate to your next position? By highlighting your SUPERvisory skills, I will define the characteristics that make you promotion material.
Little to no work experience or experience in your desired field? No problem. I understand how to highlight your life experience and translate it into relevant work skills and qualifications. Together, we will help you identify and present your talents, skills, and education to demonstrate you are the right candidate.
