Career Resume Consulting

Let's face it, looking for a job is tough!

But you don't do it very often, so how are you supposed to know how the job market works? If you only golfed once every two, five, or 25 years, how good of a golfer would you be? If you had to play in a pro golf tournament next week, what would you do?

You'd hire a coach.

A professional to hone your skills, develop your strengths, and teach you the strategy you need to win.

Of course, some people will tell you that you can do fine on your own. WRONG!  Just take a look at the numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics released this month; on average, it takes a worker under 55 years old nearly 7.2 months to get a new job. For those people 55 or older, that number jumps to 9-1/2 months! And those figures are an average, skewed by minimum wage and entry level jobs.

...And You're Hemorrhaging

At Least $208 EVERY DAY

When You Search Those Job Boards!

It's a Myth That a Job Search is Free...

 You know, one of the buzzwords in the corporate world right now is the term "hemorrhaging." If a company is losing money, as many of them are these last few quarters - and even years -  they consider themselves hemorrhaging money.

Well, if you're unemployed, or even "underemployed," you are hemorrhaging on a DAILY BASIS. If you were making $50,000 a year (the median compensation for an American worker), it's costing you $4,167 a month, $1,042 a week, or $208 A DAY to be out of work!

Well, even if you take advantage of my Premier Package - my full consultation services, working with me over the course of three weeks, using a custom resume I've crafted for you, and applying my techniques to effectively search for your "perfect fit" career - even if you do all this - if I save you one week in your job search - my advice has paid for itself!  

Oh - and if you were making six figures, unemployment can cost you over $2,300 a week - that's $10,000 a month!

FACT: The unemployment rate for April 2010, as I'm sure you know, increased to 9.7% - that's 15.3 million people - but a lesser publicized number is the "broad unemployment rate," which also includes those people who are working part-time but want to be fully employed. That number, as of April, is over 17%, adding another 11.3 million people nationally, and it's up to 24-26% for some states... in reality, nearly 1 in 4 people are either unemployed or underemployed - a far cry from the enriching work they desire or deserve!

Another FACT: Nearly half (46%) of unemployed job seekers have been out of work for over half a year. This is the longest period of time since the Bureau of Labor Statistics started keeping track in 1948!

Some daunting statistics, don't you think?

 But now

there's good news!...

That's where I come in. I am Tammy Kabell, a career strategist with over 12 years of high level industry experience and, more importantly, over two decades as a hiring manager... I’ve been on the other side of the desk! I was recently quoted in The Wall Street Journal and MSNBC.com, giving my two cents on the struggles in looking for a high-level position.

I offer personalized Results Resumes and Job Search Coaching essential to getting hired in today's difficult economic environment.

I know that the job market has changed more in the last five years than in the entire 50 years before that. I take a cutting edge Brand You approach to your job search. I'll get you ahead of the competition and help you land - not just your next paycheck - but the RIGHT career move for you. 

And, though I can't say this will be your experience, I can tell you that so far in 2009, my clients are generally getting positions in about 3 to 4-1/2 months. (This includes many of my six-figure clients.) And the closer they stick with the plan laid out for them, the quicker they find themselves in a new position. Now that's a far cry from the national average of 6-1/2 months (as of February). I'm also consistently finding that 1 or 2 of my clients a month have gotten into great new positions in a matter of 2 or 3 weeks - and that's starting their search from scratch!

" Oh my God Tammy you really called it. The Friday phone interview went better than I could ever have hoped for. They kept telling me I have a very impressive resume... The 2 on the phone (VPs both!) told me they want me to go to Columbus to meet the Controller & CFO AND one of them will be there with me to provide support. holy cow...

...AND THEN that Robert Half recruiter called with a wonderful position in Denver (close to my daughters!) as government compliance officer for a construction company. They are increasing their gov. contracting. This is a new position so I could create it all...wow...something is working for me out there in the universe. :-)"

The best part about this story is that Kate just got the job offer two weeks later from the company she chose to pursue, and it pays six figures!

It shows that when you define who you are and what you can bring to a company that no one else can, and you advertise your "brand" in a compelling document that finally gets the attention of decision makers, then things really start to happen - and get ready, because it happens fast!

Talk about happening fast-- I recently presented a resume to Sonia Smith from Atlanta (on Saturday, July 11th, actually), and received an email from her that next Wednesday... Turns out she had gotten a call from a potential employer that day, just two days after mailing her resume to them - and she wanted to schedule some additional time with me to prepare for her upcoming interview!

And it can work for you too…

I know, because it has worked for hundreds of people just like you.

Although your circumstances are unique, I promise you your situation is not. And more importantly - your situation is NOT hopeless.

How long have you been looking for a new job? Wouldn't you agree that it's crazy to think you'll get different results if you keep doing the same thing over and over again? We all know that definition.

That's why you need to try something different…

I Can Help You Conduct an Effective Job Search Starting Today

You see, from my career industry experience and my extensive research, I've discovered what actually works - I've developed a marketing-based approach to your search that gives you a step-by-step formula for obtaining the right job.

And I'm not talking about getting your next paycheck; the formula is designed to ensure that your next job is one that energizes you - imagine looking forward to going to work every morning! This approach is different than anything else on the market you've seen. It literally attracts jobs that you will enjoy and excel at just like a magnet. The program has taken years to develop.

However, I don't expect you to believe me until you see even more proof.

So don't just take my word for it - check out these recent real-life examples since the beginning of 2009:  

---

Christopher Case, a corporate marketing executive in Chicago, was out of work for six months, and after a full consultation with me and a new resume, found a new position in less than 5 weeks…

 Martha Stephenson, a manager for a financial services company in Kansas City, secured a higher paying job in a little over six weeks using my methodology, after being unemployed for eight months…

 

Tracy Hennrich, a manufacturer’s rep in Seattle, was offered two jobs within a month after speaking with me and using my resume…!

 

And, here's one of my favorite stories from the past few months - Brian Tolander, a Project Manager from Gladstone, MO, started his new job the 2nd week of August, a mere two weeks after becoming my client. Prior to that, he had been laid off since March, and had no leads for a new position! 

 

Here's what he had to say:

 

"You provided a much needed energy boost to my job search.  I had spent 5 months trying the same thing that every other job seeker is doing.  Your fresh perspective kicked it up a notch and opened new doors that I didn't even know existed!" 

 

One of my current clients, the world-famous Opera Soprano Cynthia Makris (www.MakrisMasterCoaching.com) says this about me:

 

"I was swimming around, not knowing what to do, and you gave me focus - a specific direction - and it has turned my career around. And I owe it all to you."

I was even able to help Cole Gress from Anaheim Hills, CA, get a position in Medical Equipment Sales - one of the most competitive industries to break into - even though he had no actual Sales OR Medical experience! He came from the Motocross division of Suzuki!

 

How is this possible? We focused on the fact that he was at the pinnacle of his career, a top performer, and was ready and able for a new challenge. Plus, I coached him before each of the 3 interviews he had with the company. He aced all of them, and landed the position about a month after he started his search.

In other words, DON'T contact me if you're not ready to really put some effort into your job search, because, like I said before, after our consultation, things start to happen - and they really do happen fast.

But it takes a commitment on your part. There's extensive homework involved in this process, not to mention the work involved in using the tools you're provided. And, after years of doing this, I realize there are many people out there who are just not ready to take that step. If you're in that space right now, I'm just telling you - don't hire me - it would be a waste of both our time and your money if you don't actually take action and put into use all the secrets I give you.

And, believe me, I realize what it feels like to feel hopeless. See, there was a time many years ago that I was laid off and unemployed for six months - it was absolutely the worst time of my life. The financial stress and the depression were nearly unbearable. I know what it feels like after the unemployment runs out.

All hope was lost for me - there I was, once a high-level leader, having to struggle to get out of bed in the morning because I knew I faced another futile day of searching aimlessly for a job. At that point, I was willing to take anything.

By the time I found my next job - or should I say, when it found me - we almost lost our house. I only wish I knew then what I knew now about how to search for a job the right way. It would have saved me a LOT of grief.

Tammy - Your friend in the job market

P.S. Listen, if there are two things that I hear from my clients over and over again, it's that,

1) "I never knew how valuable of a resource I am to companies - you really brought out the best in me!" and

2) "I finally feel like I have a PLAN, and I know what specific activities I'll be doing every day to find the job that's right for me."

Do these things sound like something you want to know?

P.P.S. What do you see yourself doing 30 days from now if you don't take advantage of my system?
