Success Story: New Job In Less than 8 Weeks
Erica contacted us when she got the word from her boss that she was being let go. Her ten-year tenure at her organization would come to a grinding halt in just 60 days. She was not only unprepared for the news, but also completely perplexed as to what move to make next. Erica contacted us for help, and she purchased the Traverse Accelerated Job Search package.
Manage Your Career from Day One
Sometimes we think simply arriving on time for our day and keeping busy with the work in front of us is what counts. It’s the lead most of us follow when we finish up with the new hire orientation or onboarding process that comes with starting a new job. However, this is simply not the case. One of the recurring themes among my clients is, “I don’t know how this happened,” when they are handed bad news about their performance, bullied, or even fired.
How does this happen? It’s truly the difference between managing your career vs. letting someone else do it for you.
Interviewing & Non-Verbal Communication
Ever wonder what your non-verbals say to others? Studies have shown that non-verbal cues outrank the actual words you say in terms of how favorably you are evaluated and the impression you leave behind. How you manage your non-verbals, and more importantly, how aware you are of what you are saying (without uttering a word) is key to getting what you want.
What Is Coaching?
Coaching is about improving performance. The crux of coaching lies in helping people set specific goals and achieve them. Organizations are using professional coaches to develop future leaders, improve management behaviors, and produce better bottom line results. Individuals are hiring coaches to become more satisfied or productive at work, create a better quality of life, or fulfill a lifelong dream.
Why People Leave Jobs
This topic never ceases to fascinate me, because the issue of staying or going is rarely about the money. People will stay (or leave) jobs because of….people! As a former HR Professional I have seen plenty of employees come and go in the different jobs I have held over the years. I have also listened to lots of complaints, which have mostly been about working with people, from difficult co-workers to poor managers.
Stand Out!
When it comes to your career, there’s no question that standing out is key to getting ahead. It’s important to remember that performing outstanding work is not the same thing as actively making yourself stand out. Getting ahead takes staying visible, seizing opportunities to promote yourself, and building credibility.
If Only Your Job Search Was This Simple!
Send resume to employer → Hear back from employer → Get interview → Get job offer.
If only it were this simple!
While the resume is the universal calling card to finding a job, when it comes to job hunting (and I say this over and over again to my clients!) it is just ONE tool you utilize to get a job or change careers. What are the most important things a resume should have? In one word: results.
