This service is designed for the candidate who wants to land more interviews NOW by using a new and more effective resume as soon as possible. Fast turnaround. Joanne calls the resume she does with you a "provocative" resume...because it provokes a response from employers. Simply put: they want to know more about you. Now.
Joanne packs the time on Zoom video conferencing with you with personalized revamping. Joanne has you do pre-work you must do to make your resume more effective. This helps her get started on your new version. Her work on your resume includes at least one AI analysis that tells you how well your new resume matches open roles that interest you, guiding you in making even further edits -- and she shows you how to do such analyses.
This and any other sessions (same charge, regardless of numbers of meetings) are completely customized to YOU. She does not farm it out to someone else. And each is original, generated only for you.
*** First, email Joanne to learn if this option is right for you. You and she willl have a brief talk (free) before you decide. ***
How it works:
1. Joanne will ask you to do some pre-session activity – this is research, and self-analysis
2. Then you have the first session with her to discuss that activity: This is a very full hour plus with Joanne Meehl, one-on-one, just for you, focusing on your successes and what you love doing, and on the language you NEED to use on resumes today.
3. She then creates the new version for you and 4. then you review it with her. As soon as you finish the changes, your resume will be ready to use.
You also get these at no extra charge:
- 15+ tip sheets about using your new resume, AND about job search strategy
- Cover Letter template, her Email Signature tip sheet with examples, your 60-second "commercial" format, all included at no extra cost (most coaches charge extra for these!)
- Coaching on how to develop strategy AND a list of target companies -- after all, you need to know WHO is a good fit for YOU and your values, skills, interests, and personality before using your new resume - 4 tip sheets on this as well
Talk with Joanne first [no charge]. She does not take all candidates, only those ready for change. Once your payment transaction is complete, within 6 hours you will receive an email from Joanne about next steps and scheduling the first hour with you.
How can a nationally-known career coach like Joanne offer such a rich service for less, when others charge $800-$1,000 or more? She answers: "There’s too much terrible 'advice' out there about resumes that I want to make sure everycandidate has a competitive edge from the very start of your search. It’s my mission". Get the right results: an invitation to interview!
Joanne is not a resume "writer" with a smattering of some knowledge here and there but is a resume builder and full job search coach who shows clients how to build a resume that is "you on paper", based on what employers say WORKS. She breaks the rules when necessary if it helps you. On a regular basis, she asks top-notch recruiters and hiring managers to review her resumes of real clients, and over and over again, they tell her "Just what I'm looking for!"
More than a document, the resume is a road map to the employer of what you have to offer.
Joanne not only knows the right words for each client, she knows careers, career paths, industries, organizational structures and disciplines, and has worked with thousands of candidates in job search. Joanne is also a published author with two books on careers, is a blogger and guest blogger, and former outplacement consultant, college career center director, marketing hiring manager. She has had her own career coaching and strategy firm for 20+ years and was on the Forbes Coaches Council 2016-2020, an invitation-only membership.
Read these recent reviews:
"The outplacement people that my company hired 'farmed out' my resume to someone who never met me...as a result, the resume wasn’t 'me'. Working with you, though, you’ve captured who I am and what I can offer, so now I can use my resume with confidence." - VP of Operations, Minnesota
"Working with you on my resume, the most important takeaway was that I became more confident in what I could offer, and that translated into landing my dream job, even during the pandemic." - College Enrollment Counselor, Virginia
"I thoroughly enjoyed our time. Learned a lot. You have a gift and I am appreciative." -- Business Development Manager, New Hampshire
"[The internal recruiter] was incredibly effusive with her praise of my resume. ... She said she had been in the business a long time and rarely had she seen such a well executed resume. She arranged a phone screening with the hiring manager last week, they brought me in for an on-site set of interviews yesterday and they offered me the job today. So THANK YOU!!!! It was the resume and very fortunate timing that made this happen for me." -- Technical Documentation Manager, Massachusetts
"I just got through all your comments and made changes. Very helpful!" -- VP of Finance, Minnesota
"I just wanted to say, thank you so much for all your help. I finally feel like my resume looks and sounds good. I’ve had the old version for so many years and just kept adding to it. So I am extremely grateful for what you’ve helped me accomplish." -- Accountant, South Carolina
"I feel like I’m now in Job Search 2.0" -- Mechanical Engineer, Minnesota
Joanne gives you a lot and always over-delivers. So why wait?
