    • LinkedIn Optimization

    Who is this Coaching Session for?

    One hour is not a lot of time. Together in an hour we can accomplish some progress, but we cannot accomplish a TON of progress. Purchase an hour of coaching if you are close to a goal, but need some expert feedback or advice to get you to the last step.

    Just landed a job and need advice negotiating your salary? Purchase this.

    Have an idea about a career field you want to enter into, but need an objective (not your mom or best friend) opinion to help you sort out the details? Purchase this.

    Recently updated a resume or cover letter and just want to talk it through with an expert? Purchase this.

    Hate your job and want to find a career you find meaning in, but have no idea what that career is? DO NOT purchase this. One hour isn’t enough. Look into the Monthly Coaching Sessions.

    Applying for a new career, but need to create a new resume, cover letter and brush up on your interviewing skills? DO NOT purchase this. One hour isn’t enough. Look into the Career Search Package or the Motivated Career Search Package.

  • Minimum 2 rounds expert feedback regarding format, content and tailoring to job description (if applicable). All edits will be done using Google Docs and communication will be done through email or notes on the document. Includes The Young Professionals Guide For Writing Resumes, a $50 value.

  • Many people struggle to write an impressive cover letter. Where do you start? What all do you include? Should it really be one page? How formal does it need to sound?

    When you purchase this package we will work on your cover letter together. You are the master of your experiences and I am your guide on how to translate them into an impressive document for potential employers. I can help you whether you have a cover letter you’ve used before but it hasn’t gotten much traction or you have no idea where to start. We will use a simple template I’ve created to get us started and then, using Google Docs, collaborate on the creation. You must have a job description for an open position you want to apply for to create a cover letter with me.

  • Are you getting ready to apply for graduate or pre-professional school and finding the application essay to be staring you in the face? There can be a lot of pressure put on students as they get ready to apply for their next step. It gets even worse when you are trying to balance your current course work, entry exams, studying, internships, part-time jobs and other activities.

    Since my background is in higher education I have worked with tons of students who are pursing graduate school. I have helped students successfully write essays that have landed them in programs to pursue their MBA, nursing degree, med school, dental school, OT/PT programs and graduate programs in the sciences, technologies and other liberal arts programs.

    If you are looking for some helpful guidance and assistance in writing your admission essay, I encourage you to schedule a consultation call with me. Together we can brainstorm which pieces of your past you should highlight, which story you should begin with and what pieces of information are better left on your application.

    If you are looking for someone to write your essay, then I am not the coach for you. I only work collaboratively with my clients guiding them to find their own inner voice.

  • Do you find yourself nervous every time you have a job interview? Do you feel unprepared and unaware about what you should even prepare for? Have you gotten multiple interviews, but never get offered the job? Have you lost all of your confidence when it comes to interviewing?

    If you answered ‘yes’ to any of the above questions then the Interview Coaching Package is for you. You will have two, one-hour long coaching sessions. During the first session you will answer practice interview questions while the career coach assesses your answers. Your coach will then provide strategies and coaching on how to improve your responses with rich, descriptive examples from your real life. After the first session you will be given homework to help you practice your interview technique and responses. In the final session you will once again answer practice interview questions and have a collaborative and detailed conversation with your coach addressing any areas/topics that still need some work.

    You coach will tailor your interview questions based on industry and/or company (when possible).

  • Are you looking to apply for a job right out of college or are you in a job you’d like to leave?

    Have you never had help creating your job search documents?

    Did you have job search documents you were confident in, but that was years ago and now you aren’t so sure?

    If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, then this is the package for you. Purchasing this package will get you expert advice and feedback on your resume and cover letter. Every person will be at a different place in development so the process will be tailored to your unique needs. Set up a consultation call so we can explore where you are at in your career search journey and then we will set up a strategic plan of attack. Much of our resume and cover letter work can be done using email and Google Docs. For the interview prep we will either meet in person or use video/phone to complete an extensive one-and-a-half hour practice interview session. Practice interview sessions include a cold mock interview to see where you are at and how you answer questions followed by expert advice/strategies/practicing to help you improve upon your interviewing skills. Following the practice interview you will receive detailed notes on your answers and feedback that was discussed during the live session. For an additional $100 you can add another interview prep session to your package. Many clients find value in meeting twice for interview prep to hone and practice their skills before an actual interview. If you are interested in this option, please let me know so I can adjust your invoice before purchase. You can also add this option on and pay when you need the service.

    If you are looking for someone to write your resume or cover letter for you, do not purchase this. Coaching is a collaborative process that allows the coach to teach, inform and guide the client. I will provide you feedback, advice, suggestions and examples, but know you will be doing the work. If you are not interested in this then I am not the coach for you.

    Includes:
    Resume Review
    Cover Letter Review
    Interview Practice Session

  • Are you looking for a job? Do you need an accountability partner? Do you want someone to bounce ideas off of? Are you looking for an objective person to ask about your skills and experiences? Do you want someone to run your resume and cover letter by?

    If you answered “yes” to any of these questions then this is the package for you. In this package you will get one hour long call once a week for one month (4 weeks). You can use this time as you choose. Maybe you want Sarah to review your updated resume with you and provided suggestions. Maybe you want to discuss the jobs you are thinking about applying for. Maybe it’s been a hard week and you want someone to help you feel better about the process.

  • Do you need help or motivation to find, change or explore career options? If so, this package of consistent coaching could be the difference maker in your life.

    Package includes 6 coaching sessions (in person or via phone) typically offered as 2 monthly sessions over 3 months. However, depending on your goals, we can schedule sessions closer together to ensure you are accomplishing your goals within your timeline.

    What we do during these sessions will depend where you are at as each session is strategically designed for you. I will provide guidance, expertise and advice to help you as you navigate finding or changing your career.

    Who is this package for?

    Purchase this package if you are dedicated to exploring your personal and professional journey. You must be willing to be honest and vulnerable. There will also be homework involved that you will complete in between calls to help you explore yourself and the career options available to you.

    If you are not interested in being honest or putting in some hard work then this is not the package for you.

  • "I felt very frustrated as I navigated the job search and application process on my own. Janessa not only transformed my resume, but she also renewed my spirit for the job search process. She helped me capture my skillset beautifully in writing so I could let my personality shine in conversation and connection with potential employers."

    Praise for Janessa

My sessions with her turned everything I knew about resume writing and job searching on its head. I'm confident now that I have so much more to offer an employer than I'd ever believed before. Janessa is an incredible coach!"
