Norwood Career Advisors offers a comprehensive five-part job search program, suitable for both the employed and the unemployed.  It covers:

• The Discovery or Self-Assessment Phase.  Where have you been, where are you now, and where would you like to go in terms of goals and objectives.  What are your interests, your skills, the unique qualities that differentiate you from your competition?
•  The Resume, cover letter, and other written presentation materials.  Target, focus, and consistency of message are key issues.
•  Networking through multiple avenues, including friends, past and present business associates, trade associations, and the Internet.  We show you how to get in front of hiring managers and key decision makers.
•  The Telephone and Face-to-face Interviews and other oral presentations, such as the 20-second elevator speech and leaving voicemails.  We videotape your mock interview, so you can see the strengths and weaknesses of your presentation.
•  Planning & Implementation to set goals and measure progress.  We set you out with a strategy, a plan and a targeted list of companies to start with.

The Program is structured in two parts:

•  Six individual sessions with one or more consultants, based on similarities in industry experience or complementary skill sets.  These are one-on-one, face-to-face, and confidential, of course.
•  Six months of telephone and e-mail follow up.  We’re there to serve as your sounding board and to provide pre- and post-interview coaching.  If your situation changes, we’ll help you decide if you should stay the course or change direction. 

Our consultants are experienced business professionals, each of whom has significant experience both as a hiring manager and as an executive recruiter, giving you the inside edge in your job search. What we teach you to do is to market and sell yourself to a potential employer.  We walk you through the process of developing and implementing a sales and marketing plan.  You are the product, but we do not create Brand You—rather, we help you to create a consistent message that will allow people to understand quickly who you are and what you represent. 

Our objective is to shorten the time it will take you to find your next position, but our goal is to leave you with skills that we hope you will continue to use--far beyond the point at which you find your next great job.

Norwood Advisors’ program exposes you to all of the skills you need to make a successful transition and coaches you to develop these skills into a sales package that no hiring manager can ignore.
