RL Stevens & Assoc. Corporate Blog Career Change

RLS is a consulting firm dedicated to helping our clients manage their careers, starting with finding the right position as soon as possible. The process is straight-forward: identify what the client brings to the table, identify the companies that can *use* what our client brings to the table, and help build the bridge. Career change made easier!

Our clients have a significant competitive advantage in the marketplace:

* They have targeted companies that have shown an indication of need and they make contact with a solutions-based approach. They come to the employer as a person of value, as opposed to someone desperately seeking a job.
* They are competing with proven, professionally-written marketing materials.
* Some clients elect to have an RLS-designed web portfolio and hypercards; differentiating them even further from the crowd.
* Before the interview, our clients know as much as possible about the company, the competition, the industry, and any market changes that could affect business. Our clients know how to turn an interview into a business discussion.
* They come prepared to show value. The goal is not to just get the job offer, but to blow away the competition, leaving the employer with no viable second choice. Then, RLS provides professional negotiation assistance to make sure that no money is left on the table.

10 Resume Types: Which one for you? RL Stevens Type 3

Type 3 -Combination Resume
Job searchers changing industries, functionality or are returning to a former industry or industry sector will benefit from a Combination Resume because it highlights relevant-to-the-job skills, credentials and competency. This is a good choice to meet employer demand for a Chronological resume but quickly communicates employer-need relevancy.

My Resume hasn't done a darn thing for me. I hear all sorts of different ideas from so many different arena's I don't know which is correct. Maybe I need a true professional to write it for me. This long search is killing my confidence.
