I am not talking to anyone or the right people with in a company.

The problem today is resumes sent over the internet are typically going to Human Resources. They look for “key words” instead of assessing skills and significant achievements. The solution is to get in front of decision makers.

Career Management Associates is uniquely qualified to help you get in front of key decision makers by identifying companies through our database of 1.8 million companies and pinpointing decision makers to whom you should be talking. Local contacts and intense research are utilized to develop an effective network that gets interviews and opportunities.

I am not getting the response I want from my resume.

The chronological resumes widely used today are simply telling the marketplace where you have been. They do not market your skills and results to prospective companies.

Career Management Associates will help you market your skills in your current industry or take your skills to other industries. We will also give you a competitive advantage in getting desired promotions, opportunities, and increases in compensation.

I am underpaid.

A study conducted by the US Department of Labor earlier this year indicates that 32% of the US population believes they are underpaid. A significant portion of underpaid professionals could have avoided their dilemma during the initial interview process.

Career Management Associates will prepare you to effectively handle all questions regarding salary and benefits. Most companies leave 10-15% in compensation on the table with their initial offers. We will help you develop a strategy to counteroffer effectively and get all salary and benefits desired.

I currently have no room for advancement.

There are numerous reasons professionals do not advance. Some reasons are self-inflicted and others are definitely beyond your control.

Career Management Associates will help you enhance your standing in your current company or market yourself to other companies. A skills assessment, creation of marketing documents, dynamic interview preparation, and image development will give you a competitive advantage to generate advancement in your current company or pursue increases in position and compensation in other companies.

I want to relocate.

Relocating today is definitely a part of corporate life. Professionals relocate for family, opportunities, adventure, weather, and a host of other reasons.

Career Management Associates can help you pinpoint companies and decision makers in any town throughout the United States. Our database identifies over 1.8 million companies. We have other companies in the International Association of Career Consulting Firms (IACCF) who will, if necessary, partner with us in your search throughout the country.

I am unemployed.

Downsizing, restructuring, business closings, right sizing, relocation, and getting fired are just a few of the principal reasons professionals are unemployed today. Many times no prior warning is given, leaving you with bills to pay and very little time to make an effective career transition.

Career Management Associates is very effective in helping you obtain marketing, interviewing, and networking skills you will need to make a timely and effective career transition. We will help you pinpoint companies, decision makers, and opportunities quickly.

I am looking for a better balance between my family and my career.

Companies are striving to do more with less. To increase the bottom line, they must increase revenue streams, find ways to reduce costs, and capitalize on training opportunities. These factors often create professionals who are working at peak capacity, seeing their overall productivity diminish, and subsequently being required to spend more and more time in the workplace.

Career Management Associates will help you obtain balance in your life. We will assist you in defining expectations and negotiating within your current company, or make an effective transition into a company with more opportunity for balance. The transition will include pinpointing companies, meeting decision makers, and obtaining opportunities quickly.

I am entering or reentering the workforce.

Graduating or recently out of college, or reentering the workforce can pose unique challenges. Lack of experience or simply being “rusty” are key obstacles to competing in a very competitive marketplace.

Career Management Associates will quickly help develop dynamic marketing tools, prepare you to “win” in the interview process, and identify companies and key decision makers for quality opportunities. We will also assist in salary and benefit negotiations to help maximize overall compensation.
