Resume, Transferrable Skills Assessment, Interviewing Skills, Salary Negotiation, Getting Promoted, Personality Assessments, and Negotiating Office Politics

Often the most challenging thing to promote is you. But let’s face it, you’re a unique brand and should package yourself with the same attention to detail and perception as top marketing executives do for a new product. Charlene will help you discover and showcase your skills and accomplishments for that new job or the promotion you currently want. The process involves a series of exploratory interviews, informative exercises, and probing questions that help you reveal your assets, understand what you want in a job, and then a create detailed plan to help you achieve your desire goal.

Testimonials

Brian Clare, Merchandising Manager for Team Footwear & Equipment, Nike

“Our work together was key in helping me get promoted. Your probing questions helped me to better describe my skills in a way that connected with management. It was by far one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve been through and would suggest every professional go through this exercise every 5-7 years.”

Carla Harper, Owner, West 65 Consulting Services

“Charlene was a real pro at helping me convert 15 years of experience in natural resources and a wide range of skills into a succinct, professional resume that helped launch my new business.”

Jennifer Grimes, Director of Client Services, Northwest Research Group

“I was promoted AGAIN - Director of Client Services. I just had to share with you. After all, you are the one that helped me build my confidence and helped me change my attitude. Your advice on how to deal with upper management was invaluable. Thank you again. I will never forget what you have done for me.”

Katherine George, Owner, Catalina Communications

“I can't thank you enough for your interest in helping me to get unstuck and move forward proactively. Your questions got my attention. I knew I was getting stale and bored. Your encouragement on goal-setting really resonated. Sometimes it takes the right person to give a fresh perspective, and that is what you did. You are a quick study, and I can see why your clients like you. I made a good start yesterday in getting the situation at Catalina turned around, thanks to you.”

Lance Landry, Director of Government Affairs, Cortek

“I had been with the Senate for six years and wanted to take my skills into the private sector. You really helped me articulate my transferrable skills and package a resume that worked! I had several positive interviews with prospective firms and expect to hear back by the end of this week on a proposal. The fact that you and I did a practice interview helped IMMENSELY.”
