We develop and brand your resume & LinkedIn profile to get you authentically confident and noticed in your job search. Then we expedite your search to get you into a new role 10X faster.

We work together to develop your BRAND VALUE and align you to the market by asking you curated questions applicable to your position and industry. Utilizing our Value Scope™ methodology, you work with a brand strategist via screen share.   Send us a job or 2 to use to align your resume to your intended role and use their marketing terminology if it is helpful. Topics covered include:

• Your targeted positions (based on your growth strategy)
• Authentic differentiated brand (your unique value)
• Job market alignment (market fit and keyword optimization)
• Accomplishments (the full depth and breadth of your biggest wins)
• Your value proposition (top strengths and abilities)
• Metrics that sell your value

This is not your standard resume writing service. We work with you to really dial in all that you are and mold it into a solid brand that speaks to the ways you bring value to companies. 

Our Executive Coaches are chosen based on your industry and level. Career5 is a boutique company, not a large corporation that hand-picks every writer and coach to bring excellence to this process.  Meet some of the Executive Coaches and Writers here.

Examples of the Development Process:  Below is an example of one that is currently being developed and we are looking at different header options (names and photo have been changed out for privacy). Option to add photo or not. (left to right: resume, cover letter, LinkedIn profile, infographic)

Utilize the Jobalytics keyword optimization software for free so that you can keyword optimize your resume for every job to get you past the HR applicant tracking systems (ATSs). You actually have to do this for EVERY job because there are different words in each description; keyword optimizing your resume one time is not enough. 

Here are examples of why a resume may not pass with one just one pass at keyword optimization (a job description vs. your resume):

Different skills terminology: The description uses "managing projects" and you use "project management". X
Singular vs. Plural: It states "programs" and you use "program". X
Different trait terminology: It states "data-driven" and you use "analytical". X

You have to use the EXACT keywords to score, which is why you need a keyword optimization software to run it through EVERY time you apply to a new job online to assure you achieve a high score, or else all efforts are lost in your application process. If you are passing your resume through networking, then don't worry about this effort.

That's why we show you how to do this using our keyword optimization software via a video. You are investing in a job marketing campaign and we want to make sure you get an A+.

How much time do you put into a cover letter today when many are not even read? See this article by Monster or this one by Top Resume.  The data is all over the place, and based on our experience, it does help your case, but keep it simple.

 Your cover letter template has 3 items:

A) Why do you want to work for the company? (short paragraph)

B) Your value prop overview statement (short paragraph)

C) Answers to their top 4-5 requirements which means to copy it from the job description into a bulleted format, bold it, and answer below (not bolded) how you meet it and can actualize their needs. "Paint the transformation you can make for the company."

In Executive package, we craft a custom cover letter template for you.

This makes it SO EASY for recruiters/hiring managers to see how your abilities align to their needs. It requires more effort and means no generic cover letters. Combine your cover letter and resume together into one PDF. Otherwise, your cover letter might never be read. Recruiter and hiring managers will LOVE YOU!

We give you simple instructions on how to optimize, brand, and personalize your LinkedIn profile so hiring managers and recruiters can find you to offer job opportunities.  Learning how to quickly do this will ensure you continue to keep this up as your progress in your career. In Mid/Executive packages, we develop your LinkedIn profile for you.

Resumes will be replaced someday soon by a digital version, and right now, that's LinkedIn. Hiring managers and recruiters are now scouring talent on LinkedIn due to their innovative recruitment tools. You have a greater chance of receiving more job opportunities during your career if your LinkedIn profile is developed/optimized in the following ways:

• Be keyword optimized for your position and industry so recruiters can find you.
• Show you are well connected in your industry (ideally 500+).
• Convey your proven track record in your experience and summary.
• Market yourself as an influencer or thought leader by posting or forwarding great articles.
• Show social proof that you are a great person professionally (through recommendations).
• We'll even add a tagline on the background photo for your brand.

*Youd can add so much more to your LinkedIn that showcases what you create, sell, present, or post (blogs, events, speaking engagements, social media postings, professional websites, videos, etc.)

Our Timeline

 Our affordable and highly effective process can be done within 4 -7 days.  Because we transfer and then jump on our session with you, you will be able to have your resume within 24 hours of our session.

Job searching is similar to selling consultative services (your services) based on your annual salary ($60K-$300K+). 

As our research has shown, it's not the most talented people who get hired, but those who can align their value to the position's needs and stand out in some unique way (track record, unique skill sets, networking abilities, etc.). Every person has their own UNIQUE abilities. Let's clarify yours so you stand out in front of your competition.
