Career Assessment

Identifying your interests and strengths is an important first step in understanding yourself and identifying your career direction. This criterion is also important for young adults in selecting college courses and majors, or professionals selecting the proper upskilling/training needed to advance. Assessment results can help individuals gain clarity and insight about their direction.

Both the MBTI and Strong Interest Inventory assessments are taken online and at your own pace, results are usually shared in a phone consultation or in a Zoom or face-to-face meeting. Career assessment include:

Myers Briggs Type Indicator
Strong Interest Inventory
Interpretation of results
Guidance in researching occupations

Resume Writing

Today’s resumes need to be written and formatted in a way to pass through the Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) used by Human Resource departments. Additionally, once a hiring manager reads the resume, it needs to be spot on, showcasing your relevant skills and experience. The benefits of having a professionally written resume include:

Assistance in identifying skills, strengths, and accomplishments
Content matched with the posting
Attractive formatting and layout

Career Coaching

Sally will customize the career coaching service to your specific needs, and coaching includes advice on:

Course work and major selection for young adults
Job search strategy
Networking strategy
Use of job boards
How to work with recruiters
Interview preparation with a focus on how to answer behavioral based interview questions
How to negotiate compensation
