3 Pillars of Value – Top Benefits You Receive

After over a decade of helping thousands of executives transform their job search and careers, we have developed and fine-tuned a vital process that delivers powerful traction and results for our clients.

Our personal attention and commitment to understanding your industry and background will not only bring greater clarity to your resume – – but vastly improves your job search and interview confidence, and ultimate success because of the PROCESS we bring you through.

From the start, we do everything different.

There are NO questionnaires to answer – only robust conversation. We start with two (2) 1-hour consultations to kick things off. (instead of one 30-45 minute call, like other companies)

.

The 1st session is focused on you – we interview you to uncover everything about your past and current roles, accomplishments, big wins, metrics, and the value you brought to your team, company, or clients.

This is one of the hardest things for our clients to figure out on their own, “What results and information should I put in my resume?”

  • We take the guesswork out of that for you – with a 1-hour conversation focused solely on uncovering the results that should be included in your new resume. We push you to gather and share the most hard-hitting results you have achieved in your career. We help you take a new strategic lens to your background to help us uncover your unique story.
  • We're going to discuss (relevant to your background) – – budget/portfolio sizes – – – team sizes – – – projects/initiatives – – – efficiencies created – – – the results of your career, across each role you've had

.

The 2nd session unlocks the remaining information we need to begin writing about you – – and includes interview coaching and prep work to ensure you can confidently speak to your value and why you would be the best candidate.

.

Unlike other companies, we will never settle for what you think is “adequate” or “good enough” information for your materials. We work with you – and push you – to gather the most hard-hitting results you have achieved in your career.

Often this will push you out of your comfort zone – and that's a good thing!

Because of our proven process, our clients receive these THREE benefits – or “Pillars of Value”….

Through discovery work in our 2-hours of time together, we help you identify, capture and articulate your big wins and turn your career story into high-impact materials – resume, executive bio, LinkedIn profile, cover and outreach letters, project highlights, et al. to accelerate traction and generate interviews.

We consistently hear from clients that interviewers praise the resume and materials we built for them – clear, concise, and easy to follow, with the most important and relevant content in a polished format.

That’s from a decade of doing this and decades of experience as journalists, PR executives, marketing leaders and business writers. All of this ladders up to give you an outstanding representation of your professional history and value for your next role.

You will learn how to speak to your top skills and big wins in your future interviews through our proven process – included with every Job Search Package.

Our work together will help you gain greater clarity and focus on what makes you a unique candidate – and then speak to those points with confidence in future conversations and interviews. We understand this is a major investment in yourself and your career, and we take that investment very seriously.

*The single, most consistent feedback we receive during the included wrap-up call – is that our clients have received so much more value than just a new resume & LinkedIn profile – – because of the process we will bring you through.

Now that you have the right materials that showcase your strengths and experience and have learned how to speak to your value in an interview – we take you to the finish line by providing job search and networking strategies to jump-start or improve your current job search and outreach.

How much do you know about the hidden job market? Most people are unaware that ~50% (and up to 70%) of today’s open jobs are not listed publicly – anywhere (NOT even with recruiters). Often companies use other methods – employee-incentive programs to recruit new talent and pay the employee, not a recruiting firm or through networking and word of mouth.

We teach you how to find the roles you want and, more importantly, how to carve out your own opportunities with companies where you’d like to land.

Every package includes a wrap-up Strategy Session – – so you can pick our brains on anything you would like – – and ensure results in your job search.

What is the Process?

This is a custom and personalized experience – with no questionnaires, just robust consultations and coaching sessions.

After purchase – – our website will automatically unlock next steps – – and you will send us 3-4 links/examples of roles that are strongly representative of what you're targeting – and then we begin. (they can either be links to examples online – – or PDF's/emails/Word documents that you've been sent/have received)

This ensures we are both on the same page regarding what you are targeting.

No other questionnaires to fill out.

Working with company co-founder and Executive Coach JANICE BURCH – your two 1-hour sessions will serve as the starting point for your partnership. Between the two sessions – we have created a process that will help us not only uncover that basic background information typically gathered via a questionnaire – but we will also discuss your top projects – biggest wins – greatest accomplishments- where and how you have brought success and change in your prior roles – and so much more. (all sessions are held via phone calls)

We use this time to dive much deeper into your background to discover what makes you a contender in your industry, and why you are unique – as well as dig into your career accomplishments, and personal story. Further, we help you prep up your elevator pitch and talking points.

This step of the process is something we offer that is vastly different than most in our industry. It is designed not only to write your resume – but create valuable and robust conversations with actionable items for you to think about and work on – while we are creating your new job search and personal branding documents.

By the end of the 2nd session – we will have everything we need to create your new job search package – and within 24-hours you will receive… (please see Step 3)

There is some version of this question that WILL come up, at some point in the interview process:

  • Why should we hire you?
    OR
  • Why are you the best person for this position and our company?

The question will come up – and even if it doesn't – having this prepared can be utilized in many ways other ways to solidify your value to the company.

After your 2nd session with Janice – together you will have developed your customized reply to this question – and Janice will provide a full, written version for you to utilize and practice from for future interviews.

Then we begin writing – the first draft of your resume is delivered in 5-full business days after your 2nd consultation.

  • Each round of edits are returned in 3-full business days.
  • All packages include either 30 or 45-calendar days of unlimited revisions (depending on which package you purchase) after you receive the first draft of the resume
    • For each additional resume version there are 15-calendar days of edit time added (i.e. Functional Version – or additional areas of focus, etc)
    • This time does not restart when we begin the items after your resume – so it's important we stay on task until completion
    • There is a $400 fee for each additional 15-calendar days

We can also accommodate your rush order needs – pricing is based on your specific turnaround needs, and project parameters.

After the resume is finalized the Career Bio first draft is delivered in 5-full business days

  • Each round of edits are returned in 3-full business days

Once your resume & Career Bio have been finalized, we will complete all remaining materials purchased – this could include your new:

  • Project highlights document
  • 1-page resume version
  • Cover letter
  • Follow-up letter (for after your interviews)
  • References page
  • Short Version Career Bio
  • LinkedIn profile
  • Recruiter Outreach Letter
  • Network Outreach Letter
  • All written in one cohesive voice and tone – and with your new format consistent across each – continuing your brand across all documents.

These remaining materials are delivered in 5-full business days, and are completed all at once and delivered at the same time.

  • Each round of edits are returned in 3-full business days.
  • The 30 or 45-calendar days of edits does NOT start over, it is a continuation from when the resume 1st draft was delivered
  • There is a $400 fee for each additional 15-calendar days

Once all materials are finalized, we send a link to schedule your wrap-up Strategy Coaching Session, which must be held within two (2) weeks of completion of your materials.

We can use this time together in whichever way YOU would find the most value:

Most popular topics:

  • LinkedIn tutorial – this could be the most powerful tool you will have in your entire toolbox (most of our clients are not aware of all the ways you can utilize LinkedIn to expand your opportunities)
  • Polish up your Value Proposition – – discussing the “Why Should We Hire You” & “Why Are You the Best Candidate for the Job?” questions.
  • Create an action plan – and discuss how to execute a job search that actually produces results
  • How to expand your network – and the RIGHT way to network for your next opportunity
  • How to stay organized and prepared, after you begin your search and application process
  • Best practice tips, advice, and discussion around how to keep your job search successes/wins/metrics and accomplishments organized as you move forward
  • Or discussing whatever you believe would provide you with the most value
  • During our work together – we will likely decide together where we would find the best use of our strategy session

Our goal after this final step? You are ready to run from the gate with your new materials, fully confident in your new tools and how to use them, and able to speak with confidence to set you apart in the pool of candidates and your industry.

How long will it take?

START-TO-FINISH TOTAL TIME: most clients are completed in ~3-5 weeks (depending on which package is purchased)

What is Included?

Instead of filling out a questionnaire, you will work through the information needed, speaking one-on-one with your Executive Coach, JANICE BURCH

During these two calls we will work together to uncover everything we need to update your personal brand – unlock those key pieces of your past that will ensure your new materials stand out – and reveal what makes you different and unique in your realm.

After your 2nd session, you will receive your “Value Proposition” – in written form. During your consultations and coaching sessions with Janice, she will help you better identify your top value points, and coach you on how to position yourself to stand out in your new materials.

This typically provides a hard-hitting, effective answer to “Why Should We Hire You?” and “Why Are You the Best Candidate for the Job?”

The question will come up – and even if it doesn't – having this prepared can be utilized in many ways other ways to solidify your value to a company.

After your 2nd session with Janice – together you will have developed your customized reply to this question – and Janice will provide a full, written version for you to utilize and practice from, for future interviews.

Your new, results producing resumes will highlight the immense value you bring to the table and the top impacts you brought to the roles you held, summarize your additional activities and involvements, from board memberships to nonprofit leadership roles – and succinctly summarize why you are the best candidate for the job.

You will receive your the standard”long form” resume – which is typically 2-3 pages – as well as a consolidated 1-page version (if purchased) for networking. (or to use as a leave-behind, during interviews)

You will receive your final drafts in both PDF format (so your formatting is locked in) – as well as Word, so you can customize as needed going forward.

This is an accumulation of your “top projects” or “career highlights” – typically the top 3-5 projects or initiatives that delivered the most change, impact, or results and of which you are the most proud.

This is an excellent added tool and resource to have for three reasons:

  1. To prepare for your interviews, and more confidently express your support stories on the work you have done
  2. As a “leave behind” after your interviews
  3. It can capture more details on important wins, when there is insufficient room on the resume

Your Executive Bio is your 1-page story – a strategically written, concise story highlighting where you have been, what you have done and shows, not just tells the reader, what makes you a leader in your industry and the value you have to offer.

There are MANY uses for your new Executive Bio:

  1. Interview leave-behind
  2. Board appointment applications
  3. Recruiter outreach
  4. Keynote speaker opportunities for conferences, trade shows
  5. Media opportunities
  6. Website bios
  7. Online profiles
  8. and much more…

You will receive:

  • 1-page version
  • Short/condensed version (for requested short bio information)

What is included? Everything!

This is a complete experience.

We rewrite the top summary section to better tell your unique story — as well as all job descriptions — ensure keyword selection and optimization — update and reorganize your skills (maximizing all 50 opportunities) — upload a new banner and profile photo — Patents — Awards — Publications — Media Mentions – and make sure your profile is set for ideal visibility.

This is all done with your network notifications turned “OFF” – no one will be notified of the updates, unless/until you are ready to push your new profile out to the public.

Unlike other companies who provide the words to you in a document, which YOU then have to spend hours uploading and configuring – we work directly inside your profile for you, eliminating the hassle for you, and so we can update EVERY facet of your profile.

An effective cover letter provides the context to your background, that a resume cannot. It is an important way to showcase how your unique combination of skills and experience meet the key requirements for the role and your chance to show a definitive link between your knowledge, professional history and abilities to meet the needs of the company.

We write each client's cover letter from scratch, positioning it specifically for your background and roles you are targeting. We also show you where and how to customize it further for each position to which you apply, to gain the most traction possible.

To ensure a strong, cohesive brand – all documents are delivered to you in the same format and headers – so every touch-point you have, continues your new executive-level presence.

Final documents are delivered in Microsoft Word, so you can easily customize going forward.

A follow-up letter is NOT a “thank you” note.

This important document should be considered your strong sales close, cementing your conversation by outlining what was discussed – their needs, challenges, or goals – how you can address them – and express your interest in the role, again.

The follow up letter is written specifically for you, your background, and what you are targeting – but we also show you where you should further customize, for each role, to gain the most traction possible.

Your References Page is also included.

To ensure a strong, cohesive brand – all documents are delivered in the same format and headers – so every touch-point you have, continues your new executive-level presence.

This letter will accomplish many things in one page – highlight your professional experience and qualifications, showcase key value points toward the roles you are looking for – and engage them to reach out and continue the conversation.

Your goal is to find a new job, and an executive search firm can help you in your journey.

The document is delivered in Microsoft Word, so you can easily customize going forward.

Our Network Outreach Letter has been developed for you to reach out to your CURRENT professional network. Your personal network can open so many doors for you, and provides an untapped opportunity to expand introductions that could lead to your next interview.

Did you know that ~50% of the open positions in the US are not posted anywhere? Networking is still one of the most critical actions to take as you hunt for your next role. 

The Outreach Letter we provide will summarize your background and interests, and let your network know you are looking for your next opportunity – to get the conversation started, and launch valuable traction.

The document is delivered in Microsoft Word, so you can easily customize going forward – and will serve as the template you will tweak each time you reach out to someone you know.
