“It’s over. No more vertical. No more ladder. That’s not the way careers work anymore. Linearity is out. A career is now a checkerboard. Or even a maze. It’s full of moves that go sideways, forward, slide on the diagonal, and even go backward when that makes sense (it often does.) A career is a portfolio of projects that teach you new skills, gain you new expertise, develop new capabilities, grow your colleague set, and constantly reinvent you as a brand.”  TOM PETERS

In the world of work, the average American will undergo a career change – shifting the way they offer their talents, skills, and expertise to the world – at least six times in their lifetime.

Furthermore, The US Bureau of Statistics reveals that by 2010, approximately 40% of the US population will be self-employed or small business owners. Twelve years ago, change management consultant & author William Bridges claimed the “job” is obsolete.

So what does this mean for those that are currently seeking a job? Whether you are currently employed, seeking a new position, or in a complete career transition, establishing yourself as a brand with value-add solutions is essential in today’s economy and workplace.

Start thinking of yourself as a company. Who ARE you?  What do you offer? What do you do better than anyone else?

“Your power to choose the direction of your life allows you to reinvent yourself, to change your future, and to powerfully influence the rest to create.”

—Dr. Stephen R. Covey, The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness

Resumes That Work ™

Crafting winning resumes for the creative and unconventional since 1996

A New Approach to Personal Career Branding. . .A little of my story

I started my first business at age 14 as a sales representative for Avon. I was one of the top sales persons.  My motivation- to travel throughout Europe with  a youth symphonic orchestra  as the youngest musician chosen to participate with this award winning ensemble!

I managing a hip retail clothing store for 3 years starting at age 16. By my mid- 20’s I had started a very successful corporate meeting and travel planning service, and was one of the first certified tour guides in the State of California.  In my early 30’s, after earning an RSA International Teaching Certificate, I was offered a work permit and moved to Madrid, Spain to work as a Cross Cultural Communications & Language (EFL) Instructor. I worked at the Olmypics in Barcelona as a travel advisor/ambassador for VISA’s corporate guests.

Upon returning to the USA, passionate about human potential and learning,  I started developing my coaching, consulting and training practice. I founded Cross Currents Communications in 1996, offering customized leadership, team-building, communication training and development. It was an exciting time- companies were pushing the envelope- learning and development was a priority.   Sept. 11, 2001 arrived and shortly thereafter my personal 9-11. In late 2003, I entered a 5- year cycle of the deepest transition (transformation), I had yet experienced, and as a result stepped into my purpose. . . .to be continued ..

Are you seeing the pattern? Change, transformation, reinvention. Reinvention can be a natural process- but first you need to  Break all the Rules  of what you believe you are supposed to do, and what others say you should to do.  This requires  flexibility, resiliency, and creativity.

As a resilient and creative professional who has reinvented herself multiple times, I have had the honor of helping hundreds of others REINVENT themselves by crafting hundreds of winning resumes and cover letters (along with marketing collatoral, business plans and proposals)  for some of the most fascinating people and organizations from every industry and from over 30 countries. I have taught my personal career branding strategies at the Creative Work- Life Transitions Program at San Francisco State University, Media Alliance, Jewish Vocational Services in San Francisco, and for many other companies and organizations.

Are you ready to reinvent yourself?

COMPLIMENTARY OFFER:

I invite you to send me a sample of your current resume,  LINKED-IN PROFILE or bio for a FREE critique.

I would  love to hear what you are truly passionate about and how I can help you create work or a business that is in alignment with your purpose.
