Résumé + LinkedIn™:
A 4-Week Career Search Intensive for Professionals Ready for What's Next
You're qualified.
You're experienced.
You're ready for what's next!
But if your résumé and LinkedIn™ profile aren't telling a clear, consistent, and compelling story about where you're headed — you may be getting passed over without ever knowing why.
This small group program is a strategic 4-week experience designed to help you understand how you're currently being perceived, where the gaps are, and how to close them so that you show up with clarity and confidence in today's competitive job market.
This will not be a résumé writing class or a LinkedIn™ profile “makeover”. It's a deeper conversation about positioning, perception, and how to communicate your value in a way that gets you noticed.
What You'll Walk Away With:
• A résumé that reads like a strategic marketing document; not a job description
• A LinkedIn™ profile that positions you as a credible, compelling professional; not just a digital copy of your résumé
• A clear understanding of how recruiters and decision-makers evaluate candidates today
• The ability to tell a consistent, cohesive professional story across BOTH platforms
• Confidence in how you're showing up online and on paper
Who This Is For:
• Professionals actively in career transition OR quietly exploring what's next
• Anyone who knows their résumé or LinkedIn™ profile no longer reflects who they are or where they're headed
• Professionals who want a strategic perspective - not just tactical tips - on how to position themselves more effectively to grab a recruiter’s attention
How It Works:
Four live 90-minute sessions via Zoom, once a week, in a deliberately small group setting. We've limited enrollment to keep the experience intimate, focused, and personalized so that every participant gets real attention, not just a seat in a virtual room.
Each session is recorded and replays are sent after class so you never miss a beat.
What to Expect:
THE 4-WEEK JOURNEY:
Week 1 — Foundation: How You're Currently Being Perceived
Before you can reposition yourself, you need to understand how you're currently coming across, and where the gap is between how you see yourself and how recruiters or hiring managers perceive you. Kate and Julie lead this session together, setting the strategic foundation for everything that follows.
Week 2 — Resume: Tell a Strategic Story, Not a Job Description
Julie takes the lead as we dig into what makes a resume work at a professional level. You'll learn how recruiters actually evaluate resumes, how to move from just listing responsibilities to communicating real professional value, and how to make sure your resume gets past the filters and into the right hands.
Week 3 — LinkedIn: Your Digital Handshake
Kate takes the lead as we shift to LinkedIn; not as just a “digital resume”, but as a positioning platform. You'll learn how to create a profile that communicates your identity and expertise together, reflects where you're headed, and strengthens your credibility with anyone who searches for you. You want to see your LinkedIn profile presence as a “value-add” to your resume.
Week 4 — Hot Seat Reviews + Q & A
We close the program with live, personalized feedback. Selected participants will have their resume and LinkedIn profile reviewed in real time by both Kate and Julie. The full group benefits from the discussion, shared takeaways, and a closing reflection on what's shifted and what's next for you.
