Setting You Up for a Productive Fall
Revving up for Fall in the waning days of Summer can mitigate the natural feelings of loss associated with these remaining carefree days. Summer is so much a state of mind that often we can feel a bit cheated when the summer doesn’t deliver its own version of sun-kissed perfection.
Time to Get Down to Business
Enter the Fall. Fall is a time to get down to business, to get a fresh start on goals and opportunities. Given the year we’ve had so far, it’s a good time to consider strategies that can break through the bottlenecks of a tough job market and provide you an edge in your search.

Currently Looking for Employment?
For those of you in the job market who have continued to use a “spray and pray” strategy to applying for jobs, this approach has never worked - and in a tough job market it has a close to zero chance of getting you where you want to go. Identifying where you want to go to begin with is key, as companies won’t hire someone whose goal is simply to get a job. You must be specific and intentional in your search, armed with a clear narrative and point of view directed toward the role and the company to which you’re applying.

There are ways to do this without feeling like a supplicant! I’m here to help you get through, so if this is one of the challenges you’re facing I hope you’ll get in touch.
