Executive Job Search Secrets

How Did I Become A Career Coach?


Listen Later

10 years ago I was the head of recruiting for a Fortune 1000 company.  After becoming the VP of Marketing for a top executive search firm, I realized how much people were struggling with their job search.
I have always loved helping people.  Financial coaching, business coaching, internet marketing consulting, personal branding….
I never thought I would be in the career coaching industry.  Then several years ago I took on a consulting project to help a top executive search firm with their internet marketing.
Within a week of learning what they did, who they helped, how many people were struggling, and what was holding them back I had a couple of aha moments.
FIRST:  Why is it that some of the most successful people in the world instantly become reactive and give up control of their results with their job search.
SECOND:  Everyone needs help - and most people would like it because it is hard to see the forest through the trees.
The problem is, the industry isn’t designed to help the job seeker.  Recruiters work for companies and most of the companies that help executives find jobs charge $10-15k or more.  That’s a big check to cut.
I can’t tell you how many people I spoke to that needed help, but could afford the fee or couldn’t emotionally justify making the investment in themselves.
That bothered me so much!
I became really frustrating seeing people not act in their own best interest because of fear or lack of resources.
I was blown away that there wasn’t anyone out there who would advocate for the executive job seeker exclusively without a huge fee.  
Yes there are resume writers who make amazing resumes, but that isn’t enough either.That’s when the idea of CareerNext started.
I took my background in recruiting, expertise in personal branding and marketing, and relationships in the career industry and pulled it all together to create something the industry hasn’t seen...
A system for executives that blends hands on coaching, creation of all marketing documents, and execution of a strategic business plan to create a predictable result of you finding your ideal executive position in the shortest time frame possible - all at a fraction of the price anyone else was charging.
