Résumé Readiness Package Engagement

You’ve been given the link to this private page because you and Jared have conducted an introductory session and agree that you’d like to work together. Book your package from either of the following two options.

This is career coaching with a tangible work product; a souvenir of my experience with Jared.

Both packages center on live, collaborative decision-making (coaching) using the résumé writing process as a core tool in the exploration and development of your personal-professional brand. We will work collaboratively during live Zoom sessions, and you will occasionally work on your own between sessions.

Tools:

  • Required: One ideal job description that reflects your ideal next role or job (email it to me directly). Due by session #2.

  • Optional: Résumé Development Workbook (a very long questionnaire for clients who want to prepare before their first session; let me know upon booking if you’d like to review, and then complete, this workbook in advance of your first résumé writing session).

  • As-needed: Ad hoc assignments, customized to your circumstances.

* Important note about final documents and project time:

Coaching, planning, and soul searching is a big part of personal brand development, which means that projects sometimes extend beyond their initial retainer. If a project is not extended in those instances, and the project is not yet complete, then all materials will be emailed to the client as they appeared at the end of the final hour.

Hourly rate:

  • Non-package rate: $280/hour

  • Package rate: $250/hour

Package add-ons

Add-on materials include executive / board bios, LinkedIn overhauls (if not elected while writing your résumé) and pitch decks, as well as short-form bios for book jackets, speech introductions, social profiles, and beyond. Interview prep, job search strategy, and other after-care services are available when needed.

Brand development for professional services firms is also available. Email for details.
