Are you stuck in your career or job search? Do you know what you really want?
My methods are different from most career professionals!
I want you to understand who you are before you decide where to go next. Recently had a client tell me that I gave him his authenticity back. Most of us in the 2nd half of life have forgotten who we are or what we really want from our careers.
If this resonates with you, read on.
If all you’re looking for is help with your resume, I will be happy to refer you to an excellent resource.
Career Pivot has gone through a major transition in how clients are serviced.
What is offered now is the Career Pivot Evaluation package and the Career Pivot community.
