• Step 2: Create a Plan of Action
  
• Step 3: Prepare Application & Personal Marketing Materials

Step 1: Assess Needs & Goals

Layoffs are a tough process to go through.

Those affected are often hit with a paralyzing combination of financial concerns, shock and panic, and lowered self-esteem.

A positive reframing of the situation allows individuals to shift their perspective from a feeling of loss – which can hinder job search performance – to a sense of new opportunity.

We listen to what each client needs and provide practical tools that help them regain a positive perspective including:

• One-on-one coaching to identify career direction preferences and alleviate anxiety
  
• Career suitability assessments such as Myers–Briggs, Enneagram and StrengthsFinder 2.0
  
• Budgeting and financial forecasting tools to assist with planning during career transition
  

Step 2: Create a Plan of Action

In this phase, we work with each client to create a personalized action plan, helping them to:

• Research target companies and positions
  
• Develop a networking and outreach plan
  
• Contact recruiters
  
• Submit applications
  
• Prepare for interviews
  
• Follow up with hiring managers
  

Step 3: Prepare Application & Personal Marketing Materials

Substandard application materials are one of the main reasons applicants have difficulty securing interviews.

Once the direction of travel is clear, we prepare professionally-written personal branding materials to include:

• Resume
  
• Optimized LinkedIn Profile
  
• Cover Letter(s)
  
• Professional Biography
  

At this stage, our writers gain an in-depth understanding of each individual’s experience and produce outstanding application documents that set them apart from other similar applicants.

Step 4: Apply for New Roles with Targeted Coaching 

Resume Pilots provides follow-up support and tailored job search assistance. We hold clients accountable, offering motivation and encouragement as they execute their action plans.

In these one-on-one coaching sessions, we review progress made to date and provide guidance on the best course of action needed to achieve future career objectives.

Our coaches can assist with: 

• Application advice and strategy development
  
• Interview coaching
  
• Offer analysis
  
• Onboarding and performance management
  
• Salary negotiations
  
• Goal setting
  
• Life and career balance
  

Our dedicated coaches also research and recommend relevant professional development opportunities or certifications.
