Strategic Executive Resumes and Career Coaching

That Position You As the #1 Candidate.

Since 1987 we have been providing distinctive resume writing, career coaching and job search strategies that have helped executives and managers advance their careers.

Your resume is a key component in your job search. Does your resume richly convey your unique talents, success stories and personal brand necessary to win interviews? Are you having difficulty reaching your next-level position and top compensation package? Is your job search stalled?

Our resume writing and job search services give you the cutting-edge tools to successfully:

• Market your expertise and spotlight your business value
• Gain the advantage over your competition
• Win the best offer that moves your career forward
• Negotiate top-dollar compensation package

Are you are ready to drive your job search and career forward? Take a look at our award-winning and published resume samples (click here for resume samples) and then call 860-623-9476. Or email your resume and tell us about your career situation.

To help you achieve your goals, we'll start by learning about your career objective, assessing your resume and telling you about our process that will differentiate you from the competition. You'll know exactly what the strengths of your current tools are, and where they're striking out. Your evaluation will be personal, prompt and confidential.

Through our comprehensive information-gathering process, we are able to identify and showcase your USPs (unique selling points). After creating your new resume and other marketing tools, we can also support your job search by designing a step-by-step, personalized job search action plan specific to your background to help you uncover positions in your community or other geographic destination.

Our job search, interview, and salary negotiation coaching will give you the confidence to search effectively for positions, qualify the place to work that's right for you, make a persuasive presentation during phone and in-person interviews and handle any sensitive/difficult questions to win your new job.

Louise Garver, President of Career Directions, LLC, will coach you to make your next career move a successful one. You get the best of both sides of the desk with extensive experience in career search coaching and resume writing combined with a prior background in recruiting.
