How they work

Process
You e-mail or fax your resume, requesting a free evaluation, or call for a free consultation and services overview. · Brief complimentary consultation evaluating resume strengths and weaknesses, career goals, and strategies. · Client selects services and pays 60% retainer to proceed. · Client completes detailed questionnaire about experience, education, skills, accomplishments. · Additional telephone consultation (1 to 1.5 hours) to clarify and expand information and strategy. · Draft developed within 7 to 10 business days after consultation; balance payment required before proof release.

Do it yourself, or hire a coach?

Job searchA target list, a weekly plan and steady outreach. Callings builds the weekly plan and tracks every application, free.Interviews are coming in.Three months without traction, or a senior search that runs on your network.
Personal brandA consistent story across your resume, LinkedIn and a personal page. Callings builds the page, free.The role you want does not depend on visibility.Visibility or thought leadership is part of the role.
