Job Search Consulting:

Many clients need only to know the best way to find a new job. The issue of “what kind of work I’m looking for” has already been resolved. You know what you want and have a general idea of how to get it, you just need a dispassionate source to help guide you. Someone who knows what they’re talking about.

That’s where Forward Momentum comes in. After years of working with individuals who were in the throes of job search, Debra DeVilbiss has learned what it takes to get in the door, how to handle yourself during an interview, and the best methods to network and keep in touch with your contacts. She knows how to research to find the companies you should be targeting and what to say when you leave a phone message (and you always have to leave a phone message…)

For an hourly fee, she can help you brainstorm new approaches when your current methodology has lagged in its effectiveness. If you need help brainstorming an answer to a tough interview question, how to find the right person in your target company, how to research a company or any of the hundreds of ways a job search can become blocked, Debra’s hour or two of time can help you tremendously.

Resume Critique:

Are you conveying only what you need in order to get into the door? Are you focusing on one job? A resume is merely a way to market yourself on paper. It always helps to have an outsider look over what you’ve done.

Two of the most common blocks to a successful resume are:

• Confusion over the kind of work you are looking for.
  
• Confusion over how to network and use the resume.

Other than that, most every issue that arises in a resume can usually be resolved by language or the structure of the resume itself. This generally takes about an hour.

Here are some comments from others who have benefited from these services:

“The biggest benefit to me was to realize that I needed to do some soul searching before job hunting.”

Brenda C. Salesperson for training supplies.

“I now have a resume that I am proud of and I believe is much more effective than any that I have ever had. Later we worked on personal issues surrounding the frustrations of the job search process. “
