Testimonials:
Becky Alexander, Sales Manager, Comet Technologies:
“I left my last job without having a new one lined up and had the age-related (I’m over 50) fear that I might not get hired again. But Don made me see my potential and the opportunity to define my future in terms of what I wanted to do. It all started with defining my ideal job and then building my resume to highlight my strengths and accomplishments. I thought I looked good on paper before, but now two headhunters have told me it’s the best resume they’ve ever seen! The position I accepted is a great fit for my skills and experience, and I was able to improve my compensation by more than 10% in the process.”
Kyra Whitten, Vice President, Corporate Marketing, Lam Research Corporation:
“Don worked with me during negotiations with a former employer and helped me capture a multi five-figure signing bonus in the process.”
Don Watson, VP Sales and Marketing, ProSys:
“Don helped me land a great job just 5 months after we started working together. He brought clarity to my unique experiences and thinking, which crystallized into specific, crisp points that helped me stand out among other candidates. Don also has a knack for quickly recognizing the pulse of a job search and knows when to advise, cheer, push, or just listen.”
Investment: $5,000
This $5,000 investment in your career will accelerate your job search, increase your earning potential, and position you for long-term success. Here’s how the value of this coaching program translates into tangible results:
1. Get a New Job Sooner
• Time Saved: On average, a job search can take 3-6 months. With expert guidance, this time can be significantly reduced. By targeting the right companies, optimizing your resume and LinkedIn profile, and following a strategic outreach plan, many clients land interviews and offers within 90 days.
o Example: If you secure a new job 3 months earlier, at a salary of $150,000/year, you save 3 months of lost income, equal to $37,500 in potential earnings recouped.
2. Get Paid More
• Salary Negotiation: A well-negotiated job offer can result in a significant salary increase. Clients often achieve 10-20% higher starting salaries through effective negotiation tactics we teach.
o Example: Negotiating a 15% higher salary for a role initially offering $200,000 results in an additional $30,000 in annual income. Over 3 years, that adds up to $90,000 more in your pocket, far exceeding the $5,000 investment.
3. Increase Bonus & Equity Offers
• Compensation Package: Beyond base salary, our coaching focuses on maximizing bonuses, equity, and other benefits. This could lead to a $10,000-$20,000 increase in total annual compensation.
o Example: Securing an additional $15,000 in bonuses or equity options not only increases your immediate income but can grow exponentially if the equity value appreciates.
4. Enhance Long-Term Career Growth
• Strategic Positioning: By identifying the right roles and positioning yourself as a top candidate, you set the foundation for long-term career growth. A higher starting position often leads to faster promotions and larger pay raises in the future.
o Example: Landing a role with a better growth trajectory, where promotions are more frequent, could lead to $50,000-$100,000 in additional earnings over the next 5 years.
5. Avoid Job Search Pitfalls
• Avoid Costly Mistakes: A misstep in the job search process, such as accepting a lowball offer or failing to negotiate, could cost you thousands. Our coaching ensures you avoid these pitfalls and secure the best possible deal.
o Example: Avoiding a lowball offer that undervalues your skills by $20,000/year prevents a significant loss in lifetime earnings.
6. Receive Expert Guidance
• Confidence & Clarity: Working with an expert coach reduces uncertainty and stress, providing you with the clarity and confidence needed to excel in interviews and negotiations. This leads to better decision-making and higher job satisfaction.
o Example: The confidence gained through coaching can help you secure roles that better align with your values and career goals, reducing the likelihood of job-hopping and ensuring long-term career stability.
Conclusion:
The $5,000 investment in this comprehensive job coaching program is a small price to pay compared to the long-term benefits. By landing a job sooner, negotiating a higher salary, and securing a better compensation package, you can see a return on investment many times over. You are not just investing in your next job but in your entire future career.
