Inventive Career Transitions

Inventive career transitions differ from standard job searches for clearly defined roles. Below are just some of the ways I can help you navigate a transition that can be traumatic, turbulent, and triumphant. My services include job search coaching, resumes, LinkedIn profiles, and cover letters that stand out from the crowd, and preparing for interviews.

If you are: Questioning what you can and want to do next Considering a career change Coming across as a “hard-to-define professional” with diverse capabilities, but not a clear occupation Struggling to define a unique value proposition you can “sell” Having trouble networking because you aren’t clear about what you want to do and you don’t have an “elevator pitch” that works Feeling overwhelmed and confused about how to conduct a job search Getting lost in the “black hole” with your resumes and online applications

My approach will guide you to: Discover what you can and want to do next Explore new career directions and pursue a wider variety of jobs Identify and articulate transferable skills Define your capabilities and unique value proposition Reframe your experience and capabilities for new roles Develop strong resumes more likely to land in the “Yes” pile for interviews Increase your success by combining a strong resume and LinkedIn profile, online job searches and alerts, and targeted networking “with purpose” Prepare for tough interview questions

Nancy really understands words. She reconstructed my CV into a more readable and visually appealing format. What impressed me even more was her ability to understand what I wanted in a new position, and reframe my experience toward that end. Nancy ‘works her magic’ on your documents and she taught me how to mine online job boards to find  positions to pursue.

I worked with Nancy to update my resume and prepare for C-suite meetings in a Fortune 500 company. Nancy found a better way to tell the story of my career and positioned me to have conversations about the direction I wanted my career to go. Smart, organized, knowledgeable, and fast, Nancy brought a wealth of experience to help me achieve my goals. Equally important was her affable communication style and personality, which put me at ease and helped me think through the complexities of my career path. She did a fantastic job, and I recommend her most strongly to help you move your career forward!

Nancy understands the job search process and suggested several ways to strengthen my resume. Her own career experience enables her to provide guidance and practical tips that make a real difference. I highly recommend Nancy to anyone seeking best-in-class resume writing and job search guidance.

I can’t thank Nancy enough for all of her help with my resume and LinkedIn account. She was just amazing to work with and taught me so much. I am thrilled with the way my resume and LinkedIn profile turned out.
