CAREER COACHING
You know you are ready for a change. That's the easy part. But where to go and how to get there can be difficult. Working together in a coaching relationship, I help you find your way.
Together, we'll:
Identify your strengths
Explore your dreams
Determine the resources available to you
Come up with a plan of action
Once you know where you're headed, we work together to:
Build your resume: I'll help you craft a resume, in YOUR voice, that speaks strongly about your track record and the skills and accomplishments you bring to your work so it stands out to potential employers.
Optimize your LinkedIn profile and usage: Your LinkedIn profile is the most important way to attract the attention of recruiters and potential employers. It's not just what your profile LOOKS like, it's HOW you use LinkedIn. I work with you to brand yourself, and teach you how to OPTIMIZE LinkedIn actively to garner significantly higher results. LinkedIn Optimization will change your job search forever!
Develop a strategy for your search, including networking, informational interviews, and contact building:
When you are in search of a new job, you become project manager, sales person, and marketing professional with YOU as the product. I help you develop a strategy that will allow you to maximize your network to get the word out and find those unknown resources.
Interview strategy and practice: Your resume got you in the door. Now, you need to demonstrate why you ARE the right solution for the problem potential employers are looking to solve. You do that by having great stories to tell that demonstrate past successes. We can even do a mock interview, giving you a chance to practice your stories and get feedback.
Negotiations: You've done it! You received an offer! I will work with you to think through the offer and navigate the road to accepting an offer that is a win-win for you and your new employer. Negotiation doesn't have to be difficult or scary.

"A good coach can help you get a new job. A great career coach can do so much more. They can help you determine what it is you want to do with your life, what type of job you want, what type of job you need, and then help you find that job and negotiate your offer. Andrea falls into the latter category of a great career coach." - Bruce C. Engineering Training Manager, Isilon
