Job Search Programs

Now more than ever, job seekers need an edge. You can successfully navigate through this tumultuous job market and accelerate your transition into your next position with guidance from an experienced Career Expert. At Human Resource Solutions, we understand that finding work is more than finding a job. For most, it is a life-changing transition.

Our clients include:

Individuals who have recently found themselves in the job market
People who sense they may soon be out of work
Stay-at-home parents returning to work
Recent graduates who are either unemployed or under-employed

We also work with organizations interested in providing transitional solutions to members of their workforce. Contact us directly for more information.

We offer the following options:

Option 1: Job Search Mentor Program

This program is designed for people who have a vision of where they want to be in their careers. Getting there is a whole other story. Acting as your navigation system, we guide you through the job search process and help you avoid detours along the way.

Typical client results include:

Optimized results as job seekers master the language of the job search
Decreased stress as clients feel more in control of the job search process
Removal of obstacles to productivity through identification of self-imposed roadblocks
Increased confidence knowing an expert is by your side helping you stay on track
More discretionary time

The Job Search Mentor Program is six months of unlimited access to me by e-mail, phone, and fax. I help people develop their job search strategies (whom to target, how to gain access to more hiring managers, how to position yourself as the best candidate for the job, social networking, etc.), as well as the day-to-day workings of their search, (how to prepare for an interview, language to use when contacting prospective employers, questions not to ask prior to an offer, overcoming objections, how to get to the next "yes," etc.) and how to negotiate an employment package that is favorable for you.

Admission to the program is limited. Together, we decide if the program is the right fit for you. Our work together begins with my taking a close look at your current situation, expectations, and what you have done to move your search forward. We then establish our mentoring goals. Some people elect to telephone me daily, some weekly, others monthly. Some prefer to work via e-mail. The frequency and method of communication are up to you.

Option 2: Accelerated Job Search Program

For people who want to expedite the job search process and hit the ground running, consider the Accelerated Job Search Program.

In addition to the benefits listed above for the Job Search Mentor Program, participants in the six-month Accelerated Job Search Program will realize the following:

Increased time in front of hiring managers due to decreased time spent perfecting resumes and other job searching communication pieces
More second interviews as a result of our coaching in effective interpersonal skills
Stronger connections with hiring managers due to increased networking abilities

In addition to the services described in the Job Search Mentor Program, I will review job search-related documents (resume, cover letter, thank you note) and will respond with comments within two business days of submission. Participants will have access to templates for resumes, cover letters, and thank you notes.

We will conduct role-plays on the phone prior to interviews and phone calls, and I will debrief you so you are well prepared for the next stage of the interviewing process. If you find a job before the six month term expires, you may use the time left to smoothly transition into your new position with an expert at your side.

Option 3: Job Search Coaching Program

This program is recommended for those who want to take control of their future. Our work is collaborative. I transfer the skills to my clients so they can choose to take the next journey solo. Of course, I am happy to ride along as well.

In addition to the benefits listed above for the Job Search Mentor Program and the Accelerated Job Search Program, participants achieve:

Increased focus as next steps and deadlines are in the line-of-sight
Enhanced job satisfaction
Improvement in work/life balance
Rapid goal attainment because their search is focused and aligned with specific desired outcomes
Increased confidence knowing they have the tools to look for employment in the future
Increased potential for future job growth and earning

I have designed the six-month Job Search Coaching program to help individuals who require a more detailed plan to stay on track. In addition to what is included in the Accelerated Job Search Program, together we will establish weekly goals and set aside a weekly time to check in.

If you'd like, we can explore what you really love to do and come up with ways you can incorporate this into your search. This is an opportunity to take stock and dramatically improve the quality of your life.

We'll discuss what is working and modify the plan to adjust for factors that may be impacting your progress. We will build on your strengths and discuss ways to remove obstacles. This program is recommended for those who work best when they are held accountable by an outside resource and require rapid results.
