Introduction: Book a free, 15-minute conversation here: calendly.com/raisecareers *Coaching only clients, please note that my minimum number of sessions is 3. Exploring options for help with your career is a great first step to finding work you'll love! As an experienced professional I have vast experience hiring, screening, and developing talent in a corporate setting. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Topics I excel at: Resume Creation & Revision, Interview Preparation, Mock Interviews, Salary Negotiation & Research, Job Search Strategies, Career Networking ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I hold myself to 3 core values: 1. Golden Rule: I always strive to treat my clients with respect. That's exactly how I would want to be treated and that's the standard I live by. I'm available anytime to help you move quickly. A career professional can have a huge impact on your life, make sure to choose one that takes that responsibility seriously. 2. Always Learning: The job market moves faster than ever, What resume style works best? Are cover letters even needed? How do I use LinkedIn? A Video Screen? Ugh! The breadth of information about career topics is practically limitless. It can leave a job explorer confused about what to do. There is a lot of things that can go wrong and worse...there is no exact path to take for success! Lot's of roads can take you where you want to go! This is where a Career Expert can help you differentiate your approach and maximize your potential. As a Career Coach I'm constantly talking to Hiring Managers, Recruiters and thought leaders in order to stay on top of the latest news and trends. 3. WOW Delivered! My goal is to always provide more value than I receive. One client I helped with interview preparation was also able to leverage our sessions to negotiate her salary offer. From an investment perspective, her coaching package delivered over 600% return on investment! I began this adventure as a side project in 2015 because I LOVE talking & learning about career topics. I'm now a full time career professional so I can help more individuals earn jobs they love! A little bit about me: *Certified Resume Writer by the Professional Association of Resume Writers and Career Coaches * 7 day turn time for all writing projects (Also, open to discuss rush orders) *Conducted well over 300 phone and in-person interviews as hiring manager for a leading eCommerce company. *Trained in behavioral interview, and talent acquisition techniques. *I offer a customized approach for each client and I compete all projects myself. Let's schedule a quick, free, 15 minute call to discuss your situation. Just reply with your contact info and the best time to call. Thank you for your consideration and best of luck in your search! -Patrick

Patrick is amazing knowledgeable and helped me personally and professionally in my career. Not only does he have years of interviewing under his belt, he's seen countless resumes. He helped me polish up my resume in terms of wording, look, and feel. I couldn't thank him enough for the candid career advice and tools to help make me successful.

Patrick was very instrumental in helping me get a management position in my company. He helped me understand the role and what type of experience I needed to build up in order to be a good candidate. He was always available to listen and provide feedback when I needed it. Without his guidance I would not have been prepared to take the role.

Patrick was my supervisor at one of my first jobs out of college. Now nine years later, we both have moved on from those jobs and that company, but I continue to seek his advice and coaching when I am applying and interviewing for a new job. Last year when I was preparing for a big job interview, Patrick coached me in Behavioral Interviewing via phone, Skype, and email. Before I talked to Patrick, I was feeling overwhelmed and unprepared. Patrick's coaching helped me feel at ease, confident, and prepared for my interview. I highly recommend seeking counsel from Patrick to advance your career.

Patrick and I met at a local coffee shop and discussed what I wanted to get out of this interview coaching experience. He gave me the tools I needed to structure my interview responses in the most effective way possible, which was exactly what I was looking for. Patrick has a wealth of knowledge and experience to help guide you, at a terrific value- especially for recent college graduates looking to get into the workplace. He also critiqued my resume and gave me tips for that. I look forward to working with him in the future to continue my prep. UPDATE: After a few sessions with Patrick working on my interview technique, as well as him helping me with my Resume and Cover letter, I have been getting much more positive feedback from potential employers. After working on my new resume/CL my information was forwarded to hiring managers, received 4 interview requests, and two job offers. I cannot recommend Patrick more highly. Thanks Patrick !
