Searching the internet for a job is not the most effective solution or use of your time.  Especially if you are not prepared. 

To make maters worse, your competition is fierce and plentiful - but you are probably well aware of this fact.  Maybe you are feeling:

Frustrated ♦ Overwhelmed ♦ Realize you don't have the time to properly prepare your resume ♦ Or are you just done going it alone? 

I am here to help - and yes, I can help you!  My name is Lisa K. McDonald and I am a Career Coach-Strategist and Certified Professional Resume Writer. I am truly unlike any other coach or resume writer you have met or will meet.  Here is a glimpse of  how:

♦ Free initial consultation.  I take the time to review your resume and have a real conversation with you.  I do not send you a standardized response telling you how much you need to hire me.  Scare tactics are unethical.

♦ No pressure to move forward.  It is important that we have that initial consultation for you to get a sense of who I am, how I approach your situation, how I communicate and if you feel comfortable with me as your coach.  Either one of us may determine it is not a good fit, sometimes it is not, and if that is the case then I truly wish you well on your journey.

♦ I'm honest.  If you do not need me I will tell you.  You may simply need to tweak your resume to make it shine.   

♦ I do NOT use forms - period!  Let's face it - if you could fill out a form to tell me your strengths and accomplishments you probably would not need me.  And they are not effective.

♦ The focus is YOU.  You are an individual that has value to offer the right company or clientele.  I help you rediscover your value and more.

♦ You are treated with respect and integrity.  I do not judge an individual on their career path, mistakes or present situation.  My clients range from Senior Executives to front line employees witih a varied history of professional athletics to prior felony convictions. 

♦ I tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.  You engage me with expectations of professionalism and assistance.  When I review your resume I am critiquing the presentation not your skill set or abilities.  I assess dual aspects: visual and veribage.  I am forthright in telling you how you come across to the reader. 

♦ A focus on strategy.  Your resume is the building block of your strategy I provide coaching on all aspects of strategy in order to empower you with the most effective tools and knowledge for you to move forward.

Finding your next job or moving on in your career takes a solid strategy built on the right tools and knowing how to best utilize these tools.
