Our Job Search & Career Change Solutions are designed to help you make a successful transition. And most importantly, they are designed to dramatically increase the probability of your discovering, finding and landing the job you really want.
We understand that job search and career transition are not easy. Or more accurately, job search with the goal of landing a job that you really want, isn't easy. Even more difficult is wanting change, but not being clear about what to change to. We have successfully worked with clients who:
- Had a rough idea of what the next step or stop in their career was going to be
- and who had absolutely no idea what was next beyond the desire or need for change
- Have an urgent, pressing need to make a change or land a job quickly or have immediate opportunities to pursue and respond to
- Have a 6 week to 6 month window in which they want to make a change
- or who have a longer time horizon and are gently exploring their options and possible next steps
"After a long fruitless job search had me
wondering 'what's next?', I began working with Ian. He
helped me focus on the areas that I really wanted to work
in, as well re-instilling the confidence that had gone
missing. Ian provided excellent feedback on my
resume and cover letters, and was instrumental in my
now successful job search. Thanks Ian!"

How We Work
Together
Our work together will include four types of activity:
Collaborate, Plan & Communicate: We
are proud to use Basecamp as our online project management
tool. As a client, you will receive your own, private
project site where we will plan our work together, post
files, manage tasks and milestones, and communicate via
messages. And of course, we will use Email.
1-1 Meetings: The highest value hourly
activity that we engage in together are the 1-1 meetings.
These normally occur over the phone unless you happen to be
local. We are proud to have clients from all over the US,
Canada as well as from Europe and Asia. These meetings are
pre-scheduled and typically have a specific agenda attached
to them.
Homework: Back to school! You will have
homework to do. Some of it will be working through the
worksheets / workbooks that we provide you with.
Coach's Execution: Depending on the
package you choose, your career coach might write or edit
your resume and cover letter for you, critique key
documents like a draft reference letter, research and
recommend search firms, or perhaps ....
Ad-hoc Phone Support: For Premium Package
clients, ad-hoc telephone support is included meaning you
are able to phone at any time should you have an immediate
need (surprise interview).
Your Execution: Of course, the real magic
happens when you apply the work we do together to the real
world. In pursuing opportunities.
