The Value


What’s the value of career counseling?

Let’s do the math. You’re sitting at home with your newly minted History degree, your parents are supporting you, and you have no idea where to look for a job or what your career path should be.  You want to work, but you don’t know where, how, or why.  Maybe you’re working but it’s not a real job, a professional job, or a college-level job.  It’s not what you or your parents expect of you and it’s not going to take you anywhere.

The average entry level salary is about $3,500/month.  You have no plan, no idea, no mobilization whatsoever to get to that paycheck. You are motivated, but helpless. I will get you close to that paycheck. In fact you may pull it in in the next couple of months if you start working with me soon.

Image that: Your first real paycheck. Your first real apartment.  Your parents off your back.

Believe it when I tell you that year after year, 7 of the top 10 IN HIGHEST DEMAND SKILLS for entry level grads are ones you have learned in your Liberal Arts degree.  That’s right.  You’re valuable, you’re needed, and the entry level job market is wide open and waiting for you.  Let me show you where you belong and how to get there.  Let me get you to that paycheck so you can start saving your precious retirement money now. Every month counts, trust me. Ask anyone over the age of 50 who hasn’t done it. You need to be agitated that you are not fully employed. Do not accept your situation, do something about it.

My expertise is focusing you on a career, putting  a plan in action, and writing a resume that makes a hiring manager want to meet you.  I do this every day, I love it, and I’m good at it.  It’s my higher calling to close as much of the skills gap in America as I can, and that includes resolving your lack of understanding about how your skills and potential match up to high demand jobs.

Adults, what’s the value of a clear direction and a rock solid resume? Immense.  Do not let a “resume writer” write your resume.  You are buying good writing and formatting skills, not training in adult career mobility and psychology. My resumes work. They open doors quickly because they are sharply-written documents that describe and substantiate what you bring to the table as a professional.  They are beautiful, elegant, and I’ve written hundreds of them.  I ask for continual feedback from clients, recruiters and hiring managers whenever I can so I have the pulse on the market. As a former Wall Street trader, my value is helping you recognize your value in the CURRENT economy, and how to carve into it.

Yes, I’m a closet economist.  I love invisible markets.  I learned to read them on Wall Street, and the job market is one of them. Real Estate is easy to see, jobs are not.  I see them, and I know how to help you find them.  It’s a combination of ‘traders intuition’, writing skills, training, economic awareness, and my undergraduate degree in neuropsychology. Random, but effective.

I look forward to working with you or a loved one.
