Don't be stalled by the old rules of job search!  

Job search is for the typical reactive job seeker--and that's not you! You are far from typical--you are an innovator; you are passionate about your work, career and family; you have a social and global perspective; you take charge and make it happen every day for your company. 

It's time to make your energy, vision, and guts work for you not just for your company! 

We're here to help you do what works today--to break out from the pack--to develop proven, actionable, ROI-driven job search and career management plans that work just like the successful business and marketing plans you use in your company. So if you want the most innovative, comprehensive, actionable, career-propelling support available, you're ready for...

Whether you are new to career marketing or are an experienced career manager our proven personal marketing process will help you to jump-start your job search, manage cradle-to-grave career marketing, or supplement your current marketing activities. 

Are you are ready for accelerated success? Are you ready to become a career marketer? Ask yourself these questions... 

Do I understand the stats? That...
...Less than 25% of executive jobs are placed by recruiters (even at C-level), 
...About 5% of placements come from print ads and on-line postings.  
...70+% of executive jobs are found by visibility building / direct contact. 

Do I know my value and hireability? My...
...Unique differentiation. 
...The one thing that will make me irresistible to a new firm. 
...My best contributions and how to position / pitch them.

Do I have the confidence to innovate? To...
...Develop and market an innovative, powerful branded resume
...Create a web portfolio to manage my on-line identity in the world of Goggle?
...Market my ROI/dollarized value AND my personal brand and mission?

Am I willing to work to win? To...
...Put in the time, effort, and self analysis career marketing requires
...Be prepared for every opportunity 
...Never have to panic at a job loss, merger, or missed promotion?

There are no right or wrong answers. These questions were designed to help you determine your preparedness and desire to excel at accelerating your career and personal satisfaction.

Have you discovered that, like many hard-working executives, you are largely unprepared for career marketing and need to ramp up FAST??

Are you are thinking (maybe even panicking) that because you've not taken the time to market yourself and build visibility that you're doomed to reactive job search? Are you afraid that you'll be watching with wonder and envy as other execs win coveted positions and status by doing career management right? 

We're here to help. You can make this happen.

Why? Because most executives will never be career managers! Most executives won't work with us, or with any of the few other innovative career firms. They won't do the self assessment, branding, marketing, networking, even cold-calling that separates extraordinary career managers from reactive job hunters. They won't take the time or do the work. They want to wait to be found.

You're too smart to sit back and wait. 

If you'll commit to your success, we'll commit to you. We'll teach you what to do, and provide branding, writing, and coaching services that will support your efforts, and rescue you from the job-search nightmare of the low return recruiter/resume posting numbers game. 

Are already doing career marketing? If so you're not a job hunter, you're a career manager! 

Congratulations! While your competitors play the numbers game, you are strategic, focused and targeted. You've...

• Taken the time to understand your differentiation 
• Crafted a personal, powerful brand that shows your leadership  
• Created and nurtured a powerful network,
• Been involved actively in professional organizations
• Contributed  thought leadership in print, at conferences, and in the media.

You're ready for the next step in the process--putting together a powerful marketing strategy that gets you interviews at the right companies. 

Marketing pros select their targets and tools for top ROI. So do we.

We're so convinced that our clients are extraordinarily unique and valuable corporate and societal assets, that we work only with 30 to 40 clients yearly. By doing so we can give you the level of elite, personal, in-depth support that you and your career deserve. 

Whether you are preparing to become a career marketer or you are already an experienced career manager, we have the tools, the passion, the expertise, and the commitment to help you surpass your goals to achieve extraordinary career success.
