What People Are Saying

“Working with Cheryl last year was one of the best experiences in a long time of pursuing my professional development. She was able to help me define my visions, focus my efforts, and guide me towards an efficient and successful job search. Even though she has not worked in my field, she provided me with plenty of tailored resources and taught me how to use social media tools for professional networking and growth. Even after finding a new job I continue to work with her on my career development goals, because she thinks out of the box and gives advice that consistently brings me closer to the 5-year goal that she helped me formulate. Cheryl always appears to be one step ahead of your thought process and is extremely talented at asking the necessary questions so you can reach your own conclusions as to what seems best for you. She is motivating, supportive, optimistic yet realistic, and one of the most positive forces you can have on your side while trying to reach the next goal.”
Susanne Ebling
Cheryl has been a pleasure to work with and she gets results. I found a new position, in a tough economic environment, through LinkedIn using the strategies that Cheryl taught me. I was in the job market actively looking for over six months. I was not using social media before the pilot program with Cheryl and was having very limited success. Once I started using social media based under Cheryl's direction, my success rate improved dramatically and the number of interviews increased resulting in multiple job offers. I highly recommend Cheryl as a career coach.”
Dave Becker
“I had been struggling with the umptenth rewrite of my resume for weeks, unable to get it to speak out for me. Then a mutual friend recommended Cheryl. I didn't call her right away since I stubbornly insisted to myself that I could do it without help. Finally, I realized that I needed a new set of eyes and some new thinking. Cheryl's response knocked me over. In a few short days I had a powerful resume that is exactly what I was looking for as well as a cover letter that I can easily customize. Cheryl delivers!”
Richard Floyd
“Cheryl wrote my resume, and after weeks of sending out my old resume and getting no phone calls, as soon as I got the first draft I sent it to a few job listings and was 5 for 6 in return phone calls- yes 5 for 6!!!..after no responses in the first 2 weeks; Cheryl's work made that much of a difference!! I know anyone looking to move on from where they are working and needs that GREAT resume should contact Cheryl immediately.”

WHY DO YOU WANT THIS JOB?
One interview question that you should prepare for is, “Why do you want this job?” Now it may be that you want the job because you need a job (you’re unemployed) or you badly want to get out of the job you are in (you’re unhappily employed). But of course neither of these reasons will be compelling to a potential employer. You need to come up with a reason that not only works for you, but also for the employer.

CAN YOU AFFORD TO WAIT FOR THE IDEAL JOB?
With unemployment still higher than normal, you may be faced with a tough decision. Do you hold out for your ideal job or do you go the practical route and take something less than ideal in exchange for steady income? Of course in the best of all worlds, you would find your ideal job quickly at the pay that you want, and obviously some people have been able to find that combination. But for those who do not have time on their side and need to earn an income quickly, it may come down to what they are willing to sacrifice.
