“When the student is ready, the teacher will be there!”
Let me introduce myself. I’m ellen and I write résumés. I also ‘right’ résumés, build LinkedIn profiles, facilitate career-themed workshops, assist with interview prep., and offer career guidance and strategy.
When my time in corporate life concluded, I turned what had been a part-time hobby into a full-time opportunity: to connect, share, listen, support, teach, guide, nudge, challenge, cheerlead, continue growing (and earning).
So, what’s my approach? First and foremost, I listen. I listen to what you say, and hear what you often don’t say. I ask questions, too. Usually the ones you don’t think to ask yourself – or Chat GPT for that matter.
And those questions are relevant whether you’re a job seeker, job changer, recent grad, returning to the work force, career changer, etc.
We then build from there, turning task-driven résumés (or no résumés at all) into value-driven, data supported, directional/aspirational marketing tools. Sometimes independently and often simultaneous with resume development, we’ll build-out or refine your LinkedIn profile to increase your chances to both find and be found. Together we’ll formulate a strategic job search plan, and/or prepare you for an interview.
I consider myself most fortunate that, for almost two decades, I’ve been able to work by referral only – from clients, former colleagues, family and friends.
It would seem those referrals reach out to me when they’re ready to re/discover themselves.
I guess the old adage is true: “when the student is ready, the teacher will be there!”
