The Challenge
Christian approached us with the goal of transitioning from his long-term role in government contracting to a higher-paying position more in line with his tenured experience. Despite his expertise, he needed a confidence boost to put himself back in the job market.
The Journey
Updating Materials and Organizing Christian’s Search
As with all of our clients, we began by crafting new application materials that accurately told Christian’s professional story; we used strong resume bullet points to illustrate his years of experience in government contracting, wrote a compelling cover letter summarizing his past roles and aspirations in his next position, and updated his LinkedIn profile to accurately reflect his unique skills.
In addition to updating his materials, we provided Christian with a clear outline of the job search process. This structured approach helped him understand each step involved, from identifying opportunities to applying for positions. We also offered moral support to help him overcome any limiting beliefs and stay motivated throughout the process. This combination of practical guidance and emotional encouragement set a solid foundation for his job search.
Strategic Guidance and Moral Support
With the groundwork laid, we shifted our focus to interview preparation. We organized and prepared Christian for interviews, concentrating on both strategy and confidence-building. Through numerous strategy calls, we refined his approach and presentation, ensuring he could articulate his skills and experiences effectively.
Networking was another critical area of focus. We assisted Christian in finding and connecting with key professionals on LinkedIn, expanding his network in meaningful ways. To add a personal touch, we encouraged him to write handwritten thank-you notes to interviewers. This gesture not only left a lasting impression but also demonstrated his genuine interest and professionalism.
Crossing the Finish Line
Our strategies helped Christian cross the finish line faster and stronger than he ever imagined. Just as he and his wife were starting to build a family, he found himself faced with a substantial 46% salary increase. His new role came with exciting challenges that will certainly give him the confidence to keep building his resume. This new role not only met his professional aspirations but also provided significant financial stability at a crucial moment in his personal life.
