You may need to provide added information or clarification of your work experience and skills. For the time that we work together, I continue to review and give comments, suggestions, and recommendations on your resume. You will be responsible for final editing and changes.
JOB SEARCH STRATEGY:Request your current job search activities and review them. I provide you with additional suggestions to find positions that are appropriate for your desired career.
eMENTORING: Provide email and text support for the agreed time period, and I respond to questions within 8 hours but typically respond in 1 to 2 hours. Send questions, comments, and suggestions as they are warranted. eMentoring is helpful while developing your resume, your career path, your job search, your interviews, and during the first few weeks of employment. eMentoring may include coaching for a career change, coaching for a promotion, mentoring through difficult times, and other challenges as they arise.
MENTORING CALLS: Mentoring calls are more formal coaching conversations. I intend to ask challenging questions for you to consider and answer during the conversation. You may have ideas, thoughts, or actions that are important to you, and you will be responsible for recording them. We establish goals, review your current situation, investigate your options to reach your goals, and agree on an action plan.
