Future Prep for the Résumé Readiness Package is easy and comprises two steps:
You provide me with one ideal job description that reflects your ideal next role or job. Can’t find just one job description? Blend the best elements of several job descriptions into a single ideal job description of your own creation.
You and I will spend our first session together scaffolding your career story. By scaffolding, I mean setting up the framework within which we will tell your story.
These two steps set up a bit of a roadmap to match your story with up-to-date market needs within your career target. We’ll also blend our collective experience to be sure your leadership is set and tuned to the right level.
There are no Future Step sessions for the Résumé Readiness Package; you will simply be ready for your first résumé writing session.
Translate your intentions a powerful story.
With your single career, job, or role target in front of us, we’ll use the résumé writing process to map your future goals to past proof points. If direct proof points don’t exist, we’ll investigate how past experience has prepared you for this next step.
“This is a hard but enlightening process.”
Since we’ll be connected via Zoom’s screen-sharing feature, you’ll be an integral part of the decision-making necessary to writing your own story. Because of that connection, the résumé writing process serves as a tool for gaining career clarity across a range of work sessions. The initial retainer includes:
Résumé Work Session 1
Résumé Work Session 2
Résumé Work Session 3
Résumé Work Session 4
Résumé Work Session 5
Résumé Work Session 6
Résumé Work Session 7
If the engagement extends beyond the initial retainer, additional work will be booked at a mutually agreeable time and paid for hourly at the prevailing project rate. To minimize unexpected additions, all work is conducted in real-time collaboration with the client, typically via screen sharing.
“Your work is so very brilliant. My resume stood at the top of 142 others for a [redacted company type] CEO role last year, and most recently to the board of an [XYZ]-listed funds management business I’ll likely join in April. So, thank you Jared. ”
It’s not just all fun and games. The goal is for our detail grinding, challenging Q&As, visionary bursts of insight, and hopefully fun Zoom-based screen-sharing sessions will ultimately produce forward-looking Library of Master Documents, usable for your next move and beyond.

CURRENTLY BEING PILOTED: Clients routinely report that our work together helped them interview more confidently. I am currently piloting a potential new deliverable called, “Interview Answer Bingo,” where answers to potential interview answers are formally captured as they emerge during our work. In some cases, clients are allocating standalone time for the activity at the end of a project.
