YOUR CAREER in Progress (for job seekers)

YWIP is focused on helping executives who are about-to-be or who are currently unemployed. We have an impressive track record helping executive-level candidates start and/or advance their careers and we've worked extensively with executives across all industries and functions. We can help address your broad array of individual search needs because of our highly customized and personalized coaching and collateral development approach.

​

We frequently recommend starting with Coaching to help you discover, define and articulate your "Personal Competitive Advantages." It's our well-founded opinion that if you don't know and can't clearly differentiate and articulate that which distinguishes you and your candidacy from your highly qualified competitors, you're at a distinct competitive disadvantage. And as simple as it may sound to do so, over 87% of all executives to whom we've asked the simple question: "what are the unique personal and professional competitive advantages that you'll bring to your next role," were unable to provide a truly compelling response-one that would help them advance in the Networking and  Interview Process.

​

Think about it for a moment. If you don't know and/or can't articulate your unique differentiators, how will you create truly compelling personal marketing materials? It's more likely you'll end up with a "zebra-in-a-herd-of-zebra" Resume and LinkedIn Profile--ones that are undifferentiated, look like everyone else's and are unlikely to capture the attention of a Recruiter or Hiring Executive. Therefore, we recommend this three-step approach:

​

• STEP 1: Deliver Coaching to Get You In-The-Door: as stated above, we provide coaching to help you "Define Your Unique Competitive Advantages." This is followed by two additional coaching sessions to enable you to "Practice Articulating Your Unique Competitive Advantages" in a compelling, story-telling fashion receiving "Constructive Candor" and advice. We will then coach you on how to successfully go-to-market over two coaching sessions called "21st Century Job Search."

 

•  STEP 2: Design Your Personal Marketing Collateral: working collaboratively, we will create your Resume and LinkedIn Profile to tell your story and grab the attention of both the critical software used to both find candidates (Applicant Tracking System and LinkedIn's Algorithm) and eventual  hiring decision makers. We also offer additional collateral (Cover Letters, Executive Bios  and our unique Career Pitch Deck) for use when responding to job postings, networking and/or when interviewing. And if you're looking to land a Board Seat or to start your own Consulting Company, we can help you with this collateral too.

 

• STEP 3: Deliver Coaching to Help You Land Your Next Job: once you get invited to interview, you're only half-way there. The final goal is for you to Advance, get an Offer in writing, Negotiate the-best deal-possible and to successfully Onboard into your new role. To guide you through each step, we provide: Interview Coaching designed to maximize your success Before, During and After an Interview. Once you have a written offer in hand, we help you Strategize and Negotiate both the Tangible and Intangible elements of your new job offer. Finally, we support you through The First 30-90 Days in your new role so that you On-Board successfully and create a positive and lasting first impression.
