While you may have done all of these things already and still find yourself seemingly endlessly working, I thought this was worth sharing for anyone that needs a boost in any of these areas:

Here are some tips to help you streamline the process:

Clarify Your Goals:

Identify the type of job you want, including industry, role, and company size.

List your skills, strengths, and experiences that align with your target jobs.

Optimize Your Resume and Cover Letter:

Tailor your resume and cover letter to each job you apply for, highlighting relevant skills and experiences. Use keywords from the job description to pass through Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS).

Leverage Your Network:

Reach out to friends, family, former colleagues, and professional connections to let them know you're job hunting. Attend industry events, webinars, and networking meetups to connect with potential employers. (Leverage my network - if I know someone you want to connect with, I will make introductions for you!)

Utilize Online Job Portals:

Regularly check job boards like LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, and company career pages. Set up job alerts to receive notifications of new postings that match your criteria.

Apply Strategically:

Focus on quality over quantity by applying to positions that closely match your skills and career goals. Customize each application to demonstrate how you are a perfect fit for the role.

Prepare for Interviews:

Practice common and the intricate interview questions and answers. Research the companies you are applying to and be ready to discuss how you can add value.

Follow Up:

After submitting an application or attending an interview, send a follow-up email to reiterate your interest and thank the employer for the opportunity.

Stay Organized:

Keep track of the jobs you apply for, including dates, contact information, and follow-up actions. Use a spreadsheet or job search app to manage your applications.

Consider Temporary or Contract Work:

Temporary or contract positions can provide immediate income and can sometimes lead to permanent opportunities.

Enhance Your Skills:

Take online courses or obtain certifications relevant to your field to make yourself a more attractive candidate.

By following these steps, you can make your job search more efficient and increase your chances of landing a job sooner. Again, they aren't surefire tricks, but they will increase your odds even in this tough market.

I'm an ... I don't really need coaching at this point, do I??

Most executives are interviewing for high-level, high-paying positions with significant responsibilities. These interviews are typically more rigorous and demanding, requiring a higher level of preparation and polish. Interview coaching can help with anticipating and practicing responding to challenging questions, presenting qualifications effectively, and showcasing leadership abilities.

Second, many executives may have been out of the job market for several years or even decades. Interview coaching can help refresh interview skills, learn about current best practices, and adapt to changes in the hiring process. Coaches can provide valuable feedback on body language, communication style, and how to effectively sell accomplishments and expertise.

Lastly, interviewing for executive-level positions can be a daunting and stressful experience, even for seasoned professionals. Interview coaching can help build confidence, manage interview anxiety, and develop strategies for maintaining composure under pressure. Coaches can also provide objective feedback and guidance, which can be invaluable in boosting self-assurance during the interview process.

In short, interview coaching can be just as valuable of an investment for executives as it is for anyone else, as it can increase the chances of securing the desired position and negotiating a favorable compensation package.

What makes an career coach unique?

An executive career coach offers a unique blend of expertise, tailored guidance, and strategic support specifically designed for professionals in leadership positions or those aspiring to attain them.

Here are some key aspects that make an executive career coach unique:

Specialized Focus: Executive career coaches specialize in working with individuals in senior management, C-suite roles, or those aiming for such positions. They understand the complexities and challenges unique to executive-level careers, such as leadership development, organizational dynamics, and strategic decision-making.

Deep Understanding of Corporate Landscape: These coaches typically have extensive experience in corporate environments. This firsthand knowledge allows them to provide insights into corporate culture, industry trends, and executive recruitment practices.

Tailored Strategies: Executive career coaching is highly personalized. Coaches work closely with clients to understand their career goals, strengths, and areas for development. They then tailor strategies to help clients enhance their leadership skills, navigate career transitions, and overcome role-specific challenges.

Executive Presence Development: A significant focus of executive coaching is on developing executive presence – the ability to exude confidence, gravitas, and credibility in leadership roles. Coaches help clients refine their communication style, enhance their emotional intelligence, and cultivate a strong executive presence that commands respect and inspires others.

Networking and Relationship Building: Executive career coaches often provide guidance on networking strategies and relationship building within professional circles. They help clients expand their networks, foster valuable connections, and leverage relationships to advance their careers and achieve their goals.

Career Transition Support: Whether clients are seeking advancement within their current organization or exploring opportunities elsewhere, executive career coaches provide valuable support during career transitions. They offer assistance with resume development, interview preparation, job search strategies, and negotiation of employment offers.

Accountability and Support: Executive coaching provides a structured framework for accountability and support. Coaches hold clients accountable for taking action towards their goals, providing encouragement, feedback, and guidance every step of the way.

Overall, the unique combination of expertise, tailored guidance, and strategic support offered by executive career coaches makes them invaluable partners for executives seeking to maximize their professional potential and achieve their career objectives.

As an career coach, I am quick to say that executive job searches often require a different approach compared to searches for mid-level or entry-level positions. Here are some unique tips tailored specifically for executives:

1) Tap into your Executive Networks: Leverage your executive networks, industry associations, and professional organizations to expand your connections and access exclusive job opportunities. Networking with other executives can often lead to insider information about upcoming vacancies or unadvertised roles.

2) Utilize Executive Search Firms: Executive search firms specialize in recruiting high-level talent for organizations. Establish relationships with reputable firms that specialize in your industry or field. They often have access to exclusive job openings and can help match your skills and experience with suitable executive positions.

3) Contact an executive coach (me!) to craft a compelling Executive Resume and LinkedIn Profile: Together we will focus on quantifiable results and outcomes that demonstrate your impact on organizations.

4) Develop a Personal Brand: As an executive, your personal brand is crucial. Establish yourself as a thought leader in your industry by sharing insights, participating in industry events, and contributing to relevant publications or forums. A strong personal brand can attract executive recruiters and make you a desirable candidate for leadership roles.

5) Tailor Your Job Search Strategy: Executive roles may not always be advertised through traditional channels. Be proactive in your job search by reaching out directly to companies you're interested in, even if they don't have open positions listed. Express your interest in contributing to their success and inquire about potential opportunities or upcoming projects.

6) Demonstrate Strategic Leadership in Interviews: During interviews, focus on showcasing your strategic thinking, vision, and ability to drive results. Provide concrete examples of how you've successfully led teams, managed complex projects, and navigated challenging situations. Emphasize your ability to solve problems, drive innovation, and align business objectives with organizational goals.

7) Prepare for Behavioral and Case Interviews: Executive-level interviews may include behavioral and case-based questions that assess your decision-making process, problem-solving skills, and leadership style.

8) Stay Persistent and Resilient: Executive job searches can be competitive and time-consuming. Stay persistent, resilient, and proactive in your approach. Keep refining your strategy, expanding your network, and staying focused on your ultimate career objectives.

By implementing these tips and strategies, you can effectively navigate the executive job market and position yourself for success in securing your next leadership role.

"Worth the investment!!!!"

"Lisa has been AMAZING when it comes to helping me craft the perfect resume. I was introduced to her about 2 years ago when I was laid off of my job. We had one conversation on the phone about my role and responsibilities and within a day she had an amazing draft of my resume in my hands. About two years later when I was applying for a new job I reached out to her for some help updating my resume she answered and set up a call in a timely matter. The results she provides with in one phone call will shock you (in a good way!!). She has 10000% been worth the investment and I know I will continue to use her moving forward."
