Our Services

An updated resume is always nice to have, but most people don’t keep one current or don’t have one at all. Let us take the headache off your hand and deliver you an up-to-date resume. We will require the completion of a questionnaire or a meeting to ensure we capture all your experience and sell your skill sets and experience accordingly.  Many things with the growth of technology have changed in the recruiting world.  Let’s ensure your resume captures your skill sets and experience and sells you in the best light possible. An applicant tracking system (ATS) is a software application that enables the electronic handling of recruitment and hiring needs. These systems help businesses collect information, organize prospects based on experience and skill sets, and filter applicants. Advise Your Career understands the ATS requirements and incorporates that into your resume rebuild based on those requirements.

A job interview can be stressful.  Being prepared is key when trying to make a good impression and land that next job.  Interviews have changed over the years.  Most companies have implemented behavioural/situational interviews which require you to provide concise but detailed responses to several key questions asked of all candidates.  How you articulate your work experience while answering the questions is important and takes practice?  We can help by preparing you with specific examples from your work experience.  In addition, we can practice mock interviews with you and provide feedback. Like a coaching session, you can buy session time in thirty-minute increments where we conduct mock interview sessions offering you guidance, interview strategies, and specific mock questions related to your next steps.

LinkedIn has become as important as a resume. It has become the single most important job site used by recruiters. LinkedIn is an important tool for networking whether you are an entrepreneur or in the corporate work force. A current LinkedIn profile is your online resume and is often looked at simultaneously with your resume.  There are numerous dos and don’ts regarding your LinkedIn profile.  Try Advise Your Career to get your refreshed profile and guidance on what to do regarding your profile going forward.

A cover letter is an important document and required in some cases for a specific job post.  It is specifically targeted at the specific job desired with the intent of concisely selling your qualifications and requesting that interview.  It accompanies the resume but has its own form and purpose.  Let Advise Your Career help with your cover letter needs.

The actual coaching process generally occurs virtually via Zoom/Teams.  It is the dedicated time allocated to the client referred to as sessions.  These sessions are offered in thirty-minute increments.  These sessions are the basis for the verbal interaction between coach and client providing the feedback, insight, and encouragement around the career.  For some clients actively looking for the next job, these sessions focus on the progress made in the job search, or feedback from interviews, or approach around the actual job search.  For clients perfectly content with their current job, these sessions might focus on the career growth in the current role, or steps needed as you think of your next career move.  These sessions mean something different for everyone. The coaching session serves as that touch base to assess career progress and career action steps that might be needed.

A thank-you letter is the concluding portion of an interview. The best time to send your thank-you letter for a job interview is within the first 24 hours following the interview. Hiring decisions can be made quickly, and you also don’t want to make a poor impression by being the last candidate to get the thank-you letter delivered. Even though only 25% of applicants send thank-you notes, 80% of HR managers feel they are useful when evaluating candidates, according to a survey by Robert Half International.

An executive or leadership biography is a succinct, stand-alone version of your professional’s story’s narrative highlights, making it the ideal complement to your resume and LinkedIn profile. Bios are generally written in the third person and fit within one page. Bios are powerful tools to boost your credibility-whether that’s at a speaking engagement, to help drive business, or to promote your company.
