Job-Search

My custom job-search methods work extremely well, and very quickly. Saves hours! This will help you make the best use of YOUR time.

LinkedIn Profile

A digital version of your Résumé on the world’s most utilized job/career related business networking platform. A must-have for the serious job seeker. Let recruiters find YOU more efficiently.

I have worked with nurses from all levels: brand-new graduates fresh out of nursing school to thirty-year master practitioners. They get their “dream jobs” at some of the top hospitals and clinics in California and in sixteen other states!

“I hope you are doing well. You created a resume and cover letter for me back in November of last year. I don’t recall if I ever shared this with you but in December I accepted a position as a PICU RN at XXX Children’s Hospital in XX. I am receiving phenomenal training and education and I am so happy. I am originally from the SF Bay Area and I would like to get a PICU RN position there in the next 1 – 2 years. I was really happy with your work and I am wondering if you would be able to update my resume and cover letter to reflect my current position?”

I received this email from a client in August of 2020 seeking additional services after proven results. These are my some of my favorite types of emails to receive. Mission accomplished. A new grad with a select position, an enhanced career, upward mobility, progression, and a desire for a resume tune-up outlining the next steps.

Placement, staffing, and recruiting services are all constantly evolving and developing into bigger business segments of my company and I will look forward to enhancing the relationships I have as well as creating new ones with amazing healthcare practitioners around the country.

I also enjoy seeing my clients progress in career and role, coming back over the years to get their résumé updated as they add certifications, experience, and titles!

An example can be found with a client by the name of L. Osborne, whose own referrals have sought out my services due to the successful outcomes of those they respectively spoke for. I have in turn accepted them as part of my growing list of clientele. In the time since I started my résumé service, Osborne has used me for CNA, Phlebotomist, to New-Grad with a B.S.N. (Bachelors in Nursing) and an RN License. They then upgraded yet again, acquiring new skills and certifications as an experienced RN, ultimately deciding to transfer to a more specialized unit in a different hospital.

What a great journey that is to see my clients succeed and ace interviews and negotiate bigger salaries! This a result-oriented service.

I agree with a great deal of the content expressed here.

“Think of your job search as your own personal marketing campaign. And the product is you! Your resume is essentially an advertisement for your brand.

A brand is not simply a logo, it’s the overall impression you give your audience. In this case, your audience is the potential employer. As with any advertisement, the goal of your resume is to pique your audience’s interest.

It does not get you the job. It gets you an interview. Once you’ve been invited for an interview, your audience is already partially ‘sold’, but it’s up to you to close the deal.

Just as an advertisement has a few seconds to capture the attention of an audience, your resume also has limited time to express your value to the reader. Or, in many cases, a “resume-reading robot.” –nurses.org

Résumé Length? How long should my Résumé be?

This pendulum swings back and forth every few years. I have designed methodologies to address the ever-important question of “Résumé Length”. The official answer from my company is I create them to their natural, organic length and then work with the client to fit their need. I also have “deeper” level strategies which I will discuss individually if we engage. They involve multiple options for you, the job-seeker, to attack an opening with. This is one example of how my clients win.

“With modern technological advances and growing competition for the best nursing jobs, a vague, uninspiring resume just won’t cut it. The opportunities are vast, employers have diverse needs, and every nurse is unique. In this ever-changing world of online applications, writing a strong nursing resume that portrays your skills and accomplishments in an impressive way can be a daunting task.

Think of your job search as your own personal marketing campaign. And the product is you! Your resume is essentially an advertisement for your brand. A brand is not simply a logo, it’s the overall impression you give your audience. In this case, your audience is the potential employer.

As with any advertisement, the goal of your resume is to pique your audience’s interest. It does not get you the job. It gets you an interview. Once you’ve been invited for an interview, your audience is already partially ‘sold’, but it’s up to you to close the deal.

Just as an advertisement has a few seconds to capture the attention of an audience, your resume also has limited time to express your value to the reader. Or, in many cases, a resume-reading robot.” This is from Nurses.Org and I agree with a lot of the content expressed.

Career Counseling

I offer professional advisory services to answer the difficult and tough questions about your career, the market-place, your options, and of course better ways to position yourself. Need a new start in your career? Are you lacking direction? Let me help you chart your course! I offer career-counseling for high-school students, recent graduates, transitioning military, and any professional that had a desire to achieve more out of their current professions or to move into a new one.

My comprehensive coaching service includes a needs’ analysis and and inventory of your interests and abilities. We can help you choose a career, identify your path, overcome obstacles, examine new opportunities, and reach your full potential. I can discuss the marketplace, future growth/industry potential, and also leverage my technology background to help you make the best decision for yourself.

07/11/2023 Update- I have just taken a series of top-shelf career management counseling courses and completed a three-month consultative assignment for one of the largest HR companies on the planet. Navigating some very difficult circumstances to an unplanned outcome is never fun. The time in this role as a Career Transition Consultant added to my skill-set, helped me enhance and define narratives for my own service offerings, and led me further to re-aligning my positioning with my client base in a more honest and sympathetic manner.

Custom Job Search

Let me help you find the job of your dreams! I offer custom job-searches, uniquely formatted for your particular career needs. Sit back and watch your email in-box receive first: confirmation of receipts, and then emails from hiring managers asking when you are free to speak. I apply my proprietary system to hit many more openings than the average job seeker can locate. You get blind, carbon-copied on all applications. This is very effective and saves you time and money.

I offer a next-level, targeted penetration of companies that you want to apply for a job with.

This is a per/hour, fee-based system. I can spend my time doing two things for you. Usually I split this fifty-fifty from a time usage standpoint:

Directly finding and directly contacting hiring managers for openings that fit your criteria
Finding a job opening and sending you to the lengthy, detailed, corporate application systems that require a lot of personal information and time

Cover Letters

In today’s workplace and job-market the cover letter is almost as crucial as the résumé is. As such, it is assigned a “one-third” value of my overall product. Without an effective and compelling cover letter, some human resource employees and hiring managers will not review a résumé with the attention it deserves. Those that do not have this component are an easy choice to remove from consideration. My cover letters are unique, custom, and drive hiring managers to spend the time looking at your résumé that it deserves.

Update 1/09/2020: A recruiter colleague just published this on his personal FB:

This is a comment about the Cover Letter process, as seen through the eyes of a recruiter, and how it effects your resume and its audience. I stress to my clients that I value them as 1/3 the overall worth of my product.

Kyle Kinslow
Looking for a job? Here is a tip:
I put MAYBE 2-3mins into looking over your resume.
I will read your entire Cover Letter.
Which one do you think is more important?”

My cover letters are impactful, engaging, and completely customized. You can purchase a customized cover letter (standard), or you can simply buy the template from me (MS WORD format). Contact me for details.
