Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need to use LinkedIn for my job search? I’m not good with social media and I don’t like my personal info out there.
Over 98% of recruiters, HR professionals, and hiring managers look up the applicant on LinkedIn when they receive their resume. They also research for people with your skills long before you even know about the opening. That’s why your profile must be built out showing your skills, experience, and accomplishments so they will reach out to you! (Be sure to include your email in your contact info.)
The average professional resume is two pages and it’s format must be done in a way it passes through the ATS Applicant Tracking System. Don't worry - I'll help you make sure yours passes with flying colors!
I’m not “tech savvy”, so how do I manage the job search and even land a job that requires so many computer skills?
While you are thinking about beginning a job search, try taking some courses online or in-person that can teach you a skill and also give you practice in using technology.
I write your resume WITH you so it’s accurate, and I can pull out your accomplishments to list. You will know how to update it in the future, too!
The average length of time, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, is up to 40 weeks. But that’s why we will work together to speed up the process. Your actions and commitments will make it easier if you show up live and do the “homework” to move forward. Being fully involved is key.
But I’m in I.T., and according to your profile, you coach people but have never worked in the field of I.T.
I have worked with many software companies that laid off people just like you. We worked on resumes, interviewing, LinkedIn, etc., no matter their industry. It’s the job search and tools you need that I can help you with. When your resume lists the IT skills you have, you will tell me exactly how to spell each one!
