Authenticity . . .

  Genuineness
  Truthfulness
  Undisputed Credibility
  Faithfulness to Internal vs. External Ideas
  The Real McCoy

No matter how you may define “Authenticity” — there’s no denying the increasing number of people now asking themselves “what am I meant to do with my life?” and “is there more to my career than this?” These questions are deeply rooted in a return to our "authentic selves" and a strong desire for more meaningful work. They have become the call to action for many who are now rethinking their lives, reinventing their careers, and returning to their core values and passions. 

Whether attributed to today’s fiercely competitive job market (where you must distinguish yourself from thousands of other candidates), the decreasing jobs in various troubled industries, or the shift occurring in mass consciousness...there’s people everywhere seeking Authenticity in their Careers. You don’t need to look very far for evidence of this. Just speak to someone who was laid off, is desperately unhappy in his/her work life, or who feels “stuck” in a current job.

Does this sound familiar?

If so, don’t waste another day spinning your wheels on what to do next or posting resumes to various job boards for scores of different positions — with little to no results!

Try the authentic path instead. We’ll work with you to closely architect a career plan with effective marketing tools tailored just for you. Or perhaps you just need to reveal and integrate your authentic personal brand into your resume and job interviews in a compelling way.

Whatever your need is, align yourself with the possibilities for more meaningful work. Differentiate yourself from other candidates. Elevate your confidence in interviews... by walking your path. Read on to learn about how we can help.

The Career Authenticity Process

Our approach is a collaborative 3-phase process working closely with clients to identify and “map out” career possibilities that go beyond limited and linear thinking. The process of Mapping helps to generate new ideas, gain clarity and focus, and articulate your authentic values. It integrates an intuitive career coaching model that reveals a client’s gifts and the careers he/she would love. This combination of intuitive coaching and mapping evolves through our work together, and assists with the design of your tailored career plan and specific action steps.

PHASE I:  DISCOVERY (Coaching)

Uncover your "authentic" values, passions, and motivators. An in-depth assessment of your career interests and personality temperament is included. Clients may also elect the “I See Your Dream Job” coaching process which illuminates their life path, what they’re here to do, and the purpose of the pain they’ve experienced that is meant to motivate them to do their true (great) work.

PHASE II:  DESIRE (Coaching & Resumes)

Identify your “core” strengths, talents, and deeply explore your experience and accomplishments. During this phase, we’re able to begin mapping out possibilities for aligned and meaningful work that fits you — not just conventional job options that fit the opinions of others. This phase will also elevate your confidence when talking about your experience to recruiters and hiring managers or when networking.

If you’ve elected the “I See Your Dream Job” process, we will also collaborate on the initial steps you can take immediately to begin aligning with your life path and move towards the career you were meant for.

PHASE III-A:  DELIVERY (Coaching)

By leveraging our work from previous phases, information is synthesized and a dynamic resume crafted that conveys your immediate value to potential employers, personal brand, and marketability.

PHASE III-B:   DELIVERY (Resumes & Cover Ltrs.)

If you only need a resume rewrite, update, or cover letter, Phase III-B would be your starting point. There are significant added benefits and increased value offered to clients who come to us for their branded resumes and cover letters:

Many resume writers or “factories” send you forms to complete without getting to know you or speak to you by phone. Their approach will make defining your accomplishments (critical for your resume) a much harder task with the likelihood that some will be left off your resume. 

Typically certified Resume Writers are not also Career Coaches and Job Search 2.0 Strategists — and therefore would not possess relevant techniques, tactics, or training to help you get focused and further in your career transition...faster.

We incorporate career coaching in our resume writing, interviewing, and job search strategy processes. When combined with mapping activities and an indepth resume interview call, we’re better attuned to "you" and able to integrate your authenticity, brand, and noteworthy accomplishments into your resume.

The end result is effective career marketing tools that are reflective of your “true self” and align with the relevant performance stories you’ll share with potential employers and recruiters. This helps to significantly increase the probability of your resume/cover letter being seen, read, and responded to — as well as elevates your confidence during the interview process!
