Norwood Career Advisors, LLC

Are you still playing hide'n seek in the "hidden" job market?

Do you have a long-term career path mapped out--one that you're really excited about?  Does your job search strategy include the latest and most effective techniques?  Or are you stalled in Park?  Do not pass Go.  Do not collect $100.

Are you part of a great networking group that's eager to hear from you and keeps you top of mind, or do people's eyes glaze over when you give your elevator speech? 

When you walk into an interview, do you have great questions and answers at the tip of your tongue?  Answers that leave you brimming with confidence?  Or are you sitting there thinking of all the things you woulda, coulda, shoulda said?

Don't you wish you could persuade someone to create a job for you?

 Well, you can!

Just learn to market and sell yourself; develop great oral and written presentation skills; learn to use social media and the Internet; figure out what the competition is doing, and create your own opportunities.  Sound a bit overwhelming?

Why is that when people take up a sport or a musical instrument, they take lessons, but when it comes to the most important task of their lives--a complex, multi-disciplinary task, they try to do it all by themselves? 

Norwood Career Advisors can't make your job search easy, but we can improve your game.   And remember, even Tiger Woods has a coach.

 

Give us a call today to hear more about our customized program, or learn about our seminar on the job search process.  In order to give as much individual attention as possible, these two-day, information-packed events are limited to six participants.

Job Search Handicaps

Benefits of Career Counseling

Everyone can benefit from counseling, but if you have certain handicaps, you can benefit more than most.  For instance, if:

You’re over 50.  If you look as if you’re approaching the half century mark, you need to be proactive in countering negative perceptions about being older.  There is always age bias in the work place, but it increases with the unemployment rate.  In the Charlotte area, the unemployment rate ranges from about 11% to over 20%.  When job creation is negative, employers can be more particular in their hiring, and they are.
