It takes more than a solid resume to reach the right job. It takes insight on the roles you can fulfill – along with expertly guided self-assessment to help you discover the work you truly want to do. It takes an aggressive, strategic marketing plan, created and driven by proven marketing professionals that sells your brand, your value, and the results you can deliver. And it takes access to the right, influential decision makers, through strong professional and personal networks that have been cultivated over years, not just weeks or months.
It’s a tough climb. And at your level, winging it can lead to missed opportunities and epic fails. It can take a long time. Navigating a senior level job search within a limited network and without a marketing strategy can add months to a search campaign. That’s not only financially costly. It takes a significant mental and emotional toll on the individual, their family and personal support system.
