The Challenge
When Brock, a determined student from Arizona State University, first reached out for help, he was in a common predicament: he needed to bridge the gap between his academic background in supply chain management and the competitive job market. Having only worked in small jobs and with no official internship experience, Brock knew he needed more substantial professional exposure to stand out upon graduation.
The Solution
Phase 1: Initial Engagement
The journey began with a comprehensive overhaul of Brock’s professional materials. Recognizing the need for a standout application, we guided him through the creation of a polished resume, a compelling cover letter, and a LinkedIn profile that truly reflected his potential. This initial phase was crucial in articulating and enhancing his past experiences, setting a strong foundation for the steps to follow.
Next, we tackled the internship application process. We encouraged Brock to participate in ASU’s business program career fairs and to print high-quality resumes for distribution. He shared about 25 resumes printed on the best quality paper with representatives at the event, and articulated his story clearly and confidently at each stand. This proactive approach paid off when Brock secured an internship with State Farm several months in advance of graduation. During the summer between his sophomore and junior years, he led marketing initiatives and made a remarkable impression in his role, setting the scene for a prosperous career post-graduation.
Phase 2: Securing Brock’s First Full-Time Role as a New Graduate
As Brock approached graduation during his senior year of college, he returned to us, eager to work with a new company and further advance his career. We updated all his materials, incorporating his two new internships and refining his cover letters and LinkedIn profile to reflect his growing experience.
With his updated materials, we guided Brock through the on-campus recruiting process for a second time. We conducted numerous mock interviews, helped him thoroughly research the companies he was interested in, and worked with him to effectively articulate his story and the value he could bring as a fresh grad with great experience in hand.
With our support, Brock secured a full-time role with Occidental Petroleum in Dallas, earning a six-figure salary right off the bat. The company also offered a comprehensive training program, setting him up for future success. This time, thanks to our previous collaboration and the strong foundation we built together, the process was incredibly smooth and efficient.
Phase 3: Leveraging Experience to Transition to a New City
With a successful stint in Dallas under his belt, Brock set his sights on returning to Arizona to be closer to family. Our focus shifted to finding suitable sales opportunities in the Arizona area. We helped him organize his applications, streamline his networking efforts, and prepare for interviews. Our guidance also included advice on evaluating job offers to ensure he made the best decision.
The result? Brock secured a higher-paying sales position with on-target earnings significantly better than his previous role. He joined a reputable company known for its world-renowned sales training program, completing his career transformation with a position that aligned perfectly with his professional goals and personal needs.

Brock’s collaboration with Dynamic Recruitment Consulting led to significant milestones in his career.
