During these times of great challenge in the workplace, what steps will you take to strengthen your career? Promotion? Lateral Move? Stay where you are? New company or field? HCM can help.
Package A:
- Resume and Cover Letter Review—a career coach will personally
read and positively critique your resume and cover letter - FREE!—a copy of our booklet, Action Plan for Career Success, which will give you useful tips to help you think through your next career move
- FREE!— a copy of Resumes, Cover Letters, and Interviews, which demonstrates the short term and long term relationships among resumes, cover letters, and interviewing skills
Package B:
Use the Myers Briggs Type Indicator to synergize your personality with career growth. The MBTI can even help you decide what the real issues may be in your desire for career movement!
We offer four reports of the MBTI for you to choose from. The report should reflect your personal and professional needs.
What makes a resume and cover letter powerful? The cover letter tells your professional story, and the resume shows how that story has played out in your career so far. While reviewing your submissions, we first read both documents to get a sense of whether they flow into each other and provide mutual support. After the overview, one of our career coaches then conducts a line by line edit: what to take out or leave in.
Our editing process is governed by:
- Strength and precision of language
- Relevance of entries
- Overall length of each document and whether the length strengthens or weakens
As we have said many times, at HCM we believe a personalized approach is the best way to assist professionals. Our resume and cover letter review has an immediate and a long term purpose: the long term purpose is to review and sharply focus the career patterns. But the short term purpose is the most important: you want to ensure that a hiring manager says: I must interview____________(fill in your name!)
