Client Comments

"Betsy is wonderful. I was feeling stuck in my career, and her knowledge and expertise were the antidote. She helped me broaden my scope and explore new possibilities that I hadn't considered before. More importantly, however, she helped me realize and embrace my inherent traits and skills and encouraged me to choose a career that complements them."

"I really enjoyed Betsy's open dialogue. She was incredible at identifying the true reason for my desire to switch careers. She helped me realize many things about myself as well as help break through many of the barriers that were causing me to be unhappy in my career and in my life. My anxiety about my professional life has dramatically decreased and my overall happiness increased. I highly recommend working with her!"

"I really enjoyed working with Betsy. I originally came to her because I was stuck in corporate sales and was looking for a more gratifying and fulfilling career. She helped me really nail down a career that both fit my skillset and passions. I am not sure I could have mustered up the courage to make the change without her!"

"Betsy has the rare ability to combine psychotherapy with solid, informative and personalized career advice. I found her to be extremely helpful and insightful."

"Betsy is a great listener and I found her insight very valuable in helping me to get out of a rut."

"I quit a 6 figure job in order to pursue a new career. Friends and family are good for support but having an objective third party are key to actually coming to, and pursuing, such a major life decision."

Resumes & Interviews

Denver Career Counseling Resume, Cover Letter, and Interview Preparation

Whether you want to delve right into these pragmatic (and essential) aspects of the job search or want to incorporate them into a larger career exploration strategy, I can help you with resumes, cover letters, and interviewing.

If you're serious about sprucing up your job search tools, including your resume and interview skills, I offer a four-session Resume and Interview Package for $395:

Session 1: Resume Review, Part 1: We take a look at what you've got at this point, I give you suggestions and samples, and you take it home and make updates. Or, we can start your resume from scratch.

Session 2: Resume Review, Part 2: You e-mail me your resume in advance of the session and bring a hard copy into the session, where we go over it and do some fine tuning. We'll also discuss cover letters, and I'll give you some samples of effective letters.

Session 3: Practice Interview: We spend half the session doing a practice interview, and half the session discussing the interview and what you can practice/prepare for.

Session 4: Job Search Strategies: We discuss your job search plan and effective strategies for looking for a job. (Or we can do another practice interview if you'd prefer).

Resumes

I can help you craft a strong resume that you can feel confident about and that will attract the attention of potential employers.

I do not write your resume for you. Rather, I ask you to bring in whatever you have, and we go over it together in a session. I give you some sample resumes to help guide you, and you take your resume home and do some revisions between sessions. If you do not have a resume, I can help you get started on one.

I have been a writer and editor for most of my adult life and will help you come up with the right words and phrases and make sure your resume looks good on the page. I have reviewed many resumes and have a good eye for what works and what doesn't, and I pay attention to what professional resume writers and human resources professionals recommend.

 

Cover Letters

It's essential that you have a clearly written cover letter to accompany your resume. While I feel it's important that your cover letter be written from your authentic personal voice (so you will write the letter yourself), I can provide you with sample cover letters and tips for crafting the most effective letter. I have many years' experience as a writer and editor and will help you come up with the right words and phrases and make sure the letter is attractively formatted.  

 

Interviews

You obviously want to make an outstanding impression at your interview and be prepared with the answers to whatever questions they send your way. I offer interview preparation sessions, including mock interviews, to help you figure out the best ways to describe your strengths without feeling phony, convince them that what you have to offer is exactly what they're looking for, address questions about weaknesses and problems in the past, and arrive at the interview well-prepared. I also coach you on body language, eye contact, and projecting overall confidence.
