Dear Professional Women, Rising Executives and Budding Female
Leaders:
- Has it been more than ten years since you looked for a job?
- Are you seeking a career change, but don't know where to begin?
- Are you nervous about launching your first executive job
search because the great jobs always found you?
- Have you outgrown your current career path and now you are
really ready for the C-suite?
- Has your “do-it-yourself” job search turned into
a never-ending cycle of career boards, online applications, and
Internet postings?
Let's face it...looking for a job is a job! In light of the challenges
we are facing in our current economy, it takes more than a great resume
and the right attitude to land a new executive job. When it comes to
the executive arena, the stakes are higher and the competition is
fiercer, so what worked ten years ago is not going to work today.
Are You Making These Deadly Job Search Mistakes?
In general, there are four primary factors that will affect whether you
prematurely abandon your job search, settle for lower-paying positions
or give up on your dream of becoming C-level executive.
#1: You Are Not Sure Where To Begin

If your first line of defense is to start sourcing online job
opportunities and responding to posted advertisements, you are in for a
VERY LONG and DISAPPOINTING job search – not matter how
attractive or lucrative those positions seem.
Did you know that more than 85% of high-paying positions will NEVER be
advertised? So without an effective way to prioritize your job search
activities and diversify your strategies, you will be WASTING plenty of
valuable time and MISSING out on high-paying jobs.
#2: You Get Lost In The Details
With so many options today for finding a new job, it is easy to get
intimidated by the steps and efforts you need to conduct just to secure
ONE interview.
Between executive recruiters, LinkedIn job search tools, Twitter feeds
and membership-based sites, you can end up wasting hours and hours
every day.
#3: You Lose Your Confidence
When interviews aren't coming your way even when you are applying for
positions that match your qualifications, no-one is returning your
calls or the only answers you get are rejections, you will feel
FRUSTRATED, DISCOURAGED, and OVERWHELMED.
#4: You Are Avoiding The Social Media Train
You have played around on a few of the popular social media sites, but
have a hard time seeing how they can leverage your job search success.
In reality, more than ever, top companies and savvy recruiters are
maximizing both online and offline strategies to find the right
candidate.
Why More of the Same Simply Does Not Work

I am Abby Locke, executive career marketing architect and job search
strategist and for more than 15 years, I have partnered with MBA
professionals, corporate leaders, senior managers, C-level executives
to help jumpstart their job search and propel them to new careers.
Over the years, I have worked with many professional women who were
anxious about moving up in their career, but would immediately head
down the wrong path to find a job.
They would depend heavily on the Internet as a safe route for new
opportunities and often send their resumes out in volume to companies
and executive recruiters just “hoping to get a hit”.
On the other hand, when these same professional
woman invested the time and resources to develop a structured job
search campaign, they remained MOTIVATED, DRIVEN, and FOCUSED
throughout the entire job search process....even if it took longer than
they anticipated.
More importantly, they were able to gain job
search success even in a difficult economy.
- A senior vice president secured a high-profile position with a
40% salary increase within a 60-day job search.
- A human resource director was offered a new job with 24 hours of
marketing a new, branded career document.
- A senior marketing executive had two new job offers within weeks
of launching a targeted job search with recruiters.
- A higher education executive accepted a new job that supported
her career change goals within five days of leaving her old position.
- A bank executive successfully transitioned into non-profit
industry in three months despite a nationwide recession.

Specially Designed with Professional Women in Mind

help you achieve your career goals. I am very pleased to offer you

It was well worth the investment.
Before working with you, I was sending out tons of resumes and while I

B.
Simpson
Financial Services Executive
The resume
and coaching services I received from Abby Locke were
excellent…
Having sent several resumes to influential headhunters before working
with Abby with little success, after working with her within two weeks,
I had two exciting job offers in hand. I was able to negotiate with
both employers from a position of strength because my accomplishments
and value were clearly articulated. In fact, one employer complimented
my resume several times -- thanking me for making her job easier!
F.
Russell
Marketing Executive
Premier
Writing produced wonderful results for me in obtaining my
dream job.
Abby was great in extracting all value driven results from my past
career that was
highlighted extremely well in my resume that made
me stand above and beyond others competing for the same position. The
one-on-one consultation and questionnaire were also helpful in
brushing up before interviewing to keep all
accomplishments in mind.
Kudos to Abby Locke, money well worth spent!
V.
Foderingham
Director of Risk Management
But every
fighter needs a strong coach to see their potential and
push them beyond their own limitations.
You were quite right in stating that I had to be willing to try many
different things (some of them took me out of my comfort zone) to land
my new job. You provided me with a very professional high-quality
resume that I was quite pleased to present to any potential employer.
Thanks... for making me feel that you were my personal career
transition coach.
Believe me, it had an impact. When you're constantly get doors slammed
in your face, it nice to receive words of encouragement telling me
“don't give up”.
P.
Dugger
Senior Operations Manager
I just wanted
to thank you again for all of your help. I have so
much more confidence in the resume that you developed.
With my new resume, I feel empowered and very motivated to actively
pursue the next level of my career.
T.
Soudan
Senior Marketing Specialist

I dialed into
the free boot camp webinar…listened to a recorded
radio show where you talked about branding and how to write an
effective resume. After that, I re-formatted my resume and it appears
to be getting more interest…and I do have a few promising leads.
