It’s all about your personal brand
We challenge you to reframe your mindset around the job search. It’s time to stop job searching, applying online and waiting for the phone to ring. It’s time to start taking control of your own self-marketing campaign and selling you (the product) to your customer (your future boss).
Each of our self-marketing packages embrace our 3-pronged approach to job searching.
Brand Yourself
Together we determine your unique brand message and infuse it into all your self-marketing tools (resume, cover letter, LinkedIn, cover letters, networking conversations, interviews and salary negotiations).
Market Yourself
Once you’ve found your brand voice, we then set up a strategy for you to put it out into the world. By showing up where your customers hang out (*cough LinkedIn *cough) you will captivate them with your unique brand positioning.
Sell Yourself
Through the art of storytelling, you’ll master the art of selling yourself without coming off boastful or arrogant. The thing is, employers need to know they’re hiring a super star, so you have to sell yourself by highlighting career wins.

Yes, there is a science to writing professional resumes and we follow our L.I.V.E!™ Resume formula to ensure each and every resume we produce Looks Good, is Intentional, Value-Based and Enticing.

L.I.V.E!TM Resumes
Does your resume Look Good, is it Intentional, Value-based and Enticing to the reader? If you’re like most, it’s probably not. Most self-written resumes are actually sub-par.
You’re in luck! With our L.I.V.E! Resume System we dig deep to make sure your unique brand shines through. Our L.I.V.E!™ resumes will not only make employers drool, but will position you for a $15K to $50K salary increase.
We are masters at positioning your for higher-level salaries. By showcasing only the most relevant, compelling information that strategically emphasizes your valuable experience while incorporating powerful keywords, you become viewed as the perfect fit for your dream job.
Since the new updated resume I have been offered job opportunities that suit me. My resume is now screaming out ‘HIRE ME’ and I give all my thanks to her.
Value Proposition Letters
Some career professionals believe cover letters are dead, and we agree that they are. In their place, value proposition letters have emerged as a necessary component of your self-marketing campaign.
A cover letter introduces you to the potential organization, a beautifully crafted value proposition letter reinforces your career story without rehashing the resume or boring the reader to death.
Instead of submitting your typical run-of-the-mill letters that don’t get read, let us craft a powerful, concise, value proposition letter that positions you as a valuable asset to the potential organization.
E-notes
It’s all about finding people – not jobs.
The reality is, more than 80% of jobs aren’t advertised and 70% of jobs are found through networking. So, what does that mean for you? Direct connections are vital to your job search success.
With a customizable e-note (short for electronic note), you can make a strong initial impression when introducing yourself to your future boss, recruiters in your field or HR reps at the companies you’re targeting.
You will have something powerful, interesting and relevant to say that will spark the reader’s excitement and make them want to talk to you about joining their team right away.
LinkedIn Profile Optimization
94% of recruiters are looking for candidates just like you on LinkedIn, but your profile sounds dull, boring and generic! Am I right?
Don’t have a clue how to make it better?
Each one of our team members have been trained on exactly how to optimize your LinkedIn profile so you actually show up in recruiter searches for the job opportunities you’ve been dreaming of.
We break down each section of your profile and create an intriguing, keyword-rich headline, including a personable summary and an achievement-driven experience section, with your strongest, most relevant skills so you become a sought-after candidate among recruiters in your field.
We also design a branded, custom banner to make sure your profile has that added touch of class.
You will finally have a LinkedIn profile that you are proud of; one that turns heads; one that *pops* and makes recruiters want to call you to fill their open positions ASAP.
Leveraging LinkedIn Training
Once you have a strong LinkedIn Profile, to truly maximize your success, you’ll need to understand how LinkedIn works and how to build a targeted network of professionals that may be able to connect you to your next opportunity and foster authentic relationships – without asking for a hand out.
During this 60 minute training, we’ll walk you through the strategies you need to tap into LinkedIn’s hidden gems and stand out among a sea of 700+ million.
