Take Control of Your Career,
with Careerwell

So where do you want to work, anyway? That’s the million-dollar question.

We believe in treating a job search like a sales funnel.  You need to start with dozens of opportunities at the top to reach a handful of offers at the end.

One of the biggest challenges in a job search is not knowing what opportunities are even available. Most people default to checking out the job boards. The problem with this strategy is two-fold: every job you see could have hundreds of other great applicants, and some of the best companies never even post their jobs!

We advise people to make your own path in your job search: start with identifying companies doing things you’re passionate about.  Do a lot of research and force yourself to identify 50+ companies. Then find ways to introduce yourself to key contacts. Once you’re ‘known’, you have the inside track and internal advocates socializing what you bring to the table.

Resumes are one of the key cornerstones of a job search, yet most people absolutely hate writing them. And frankly, most people hate reading them, too: on average you’ve got 7 seconds to grab a recruiter or hiring manager’s attention. No pressure, right?

The challenge of creating a great resume usually stems from a lack of know-how and direction.

How do you decide what to include? What will the reader find interesting? How do you concisely highlight your career accomplishments and tell your story?

Everyone has a brand, whether they realize it or not.

At a minimum, how do you ensure that brand doesn’t blow your chances of landing your dream job? And ideally, how do you become a thought leader?

While your brand is not something a lot of people think about when it comes to a job search, it is perhaps one of your biggest differentiators: it’s far easier to get an interview when the hiring manager already knows who you are. Social media has allowed us to network at hyperspeed, so boosting your reputation is a matter engaging with the right crowd of people regarding professional topics that you’re passionate about.

There’s no bigger make-or-break event in the job-seeking process than the interview. You may only get one opportunity, to land the job you want. Have you done everything you can to prepare? Would you even know if you didn’t?

Interviews are wide-ranging; different companies use different methods, processes, and questions. No two are alike. So preparing for interviews is very much an exercise in knowing how to prepare for the unknown. And we can help with that.

Nobody wants to leave money on the table. For most people, negotiation is uncomfortable. You’ve come so far in landing your dream job, how do you ensure you finish strong and get the best possible offer?

Most of the uneasiness around negotiation comes from a lack of understanding or rather a lack of practice. As infrequently as most people interview, they negotiate final offers even less. So like all other phases of the job-seeking process, it very much comes down to building your knowledge base to have the confidence to negotiate well.
