Most frequent questions and answers
We determine which job will most likely have the recruiter looking for you on LinkedIn and we design your profile around that focus.
We emphasize your value and de-emphasizing your age to potential employers!
We craft your profile with a solid summary section and list of keyword competencies.
We understand that employers are focused on what you have done recently. In addition, we omit information that might accentuate your age (e.g., antiquated computer programming) and focus instead on your knowledge of current equipment, programs, and tools.
Job seekers with intermittent job histories are bound to be labeled “job-hoppers”, even if there are good reasons for the fluctuations (e.g., layoffs, family emergencies, etc.).
We focus on making sure the resume is accurate and honest. With that in mind, the we do not always include a comprehensive list of every job you’ve ever held—because resumes are not intended to be complete personal histories but a summary of career highlights. The job seeker may choose to leave off jobs that were seasonal, part-time, or of short duration.
We use a functional format, listing your experience under specific skill sets. This redirects a hiring manager’s attention away from your lack of experience and points instead to how well you match the position in terms of talent and personal qualities. In addition, we highlight your academic background and explain how your education and coursework relate to the position.
For those in difficult situations (e.g., laid off or fired, prolonged job search), it is important to have your profile/ resume in top form and to remain psychologically positive. To help you begin making progress, we work with you to refocus. We ask for a list of your professional and personal accomplishments. In addition, we may have you seek recommendations from previous employers and co-workers.
As we craft your LinkedIn profile, we make sure to include your transferable skills and personal qualities which sets you apart from other candidates.
