Job Search Mentoring
In the job market you are a product; is your marketing effective? We can help you to showcase your niche and make it irresistible.
Why Choose PA Job Search & Career Mentoring?
Personal Assistant job search and career mentoring is an effective way for Assistants to quickly master job search strategy and understand their strengths. “Attitude” is a key component of a winning job search, because seeing the job search exercise as a job of itself will bring quick success in securing that dream job.
Every job requires the right suite of skills, and this is where the independent guidance of a professional job search Consultant, who is an expert in the Executive Assistant field, can fast track your understanding of your career options and help you understand today’s job search challenges.
If you are a PA/EA facing redundancy it can be an uphill struggle getting your mind in alignment with the requirements of today’s job search: your mood, your assumptions about what works, and most importantly, what makes your CV stand out.
Keep in mind that you are a business of one and every business needs an effective sales pitch. Knowing what to say to hold a Hiring Manager’s attention is a significant part of the battle. Our job search and career mentoring programs will help you to understand the “pain” that the Hiring Manager is trying to alleviate. They will also help you to identify your strengths, upgrade your personal brand, and build your professional network.
If your organization is offering a choice of outplacement services as an employee benefit for staff who are going through redundancy, why not request our job search and career mentoring program as part of that courtesy.
