Overview
When you select our office to help you search for the perfect new
position to enhance your career, we will ask you many questions and
provide information about the following important 5 steps.
1. LISTENING
MAKING GOOD DECISIONS happens in stages. The critical first step
is understanding that a career change should enhance your professional,
financial or family goals. Do you know what your goals are? One of the
first steps MRCE takes in working with you is to determine your needs
and wants. We understand that your goals can be varied and complex, and
we know that it is our job to help determine what possible career
changes could take you a step closer to where you want to be. How do we
do this? WE ASK QUESTIONS: What do you like to do now? What don't you
like to do? Where would you like to be professionally? Personally? What
accomplishments are you most proud of? How does that qualify you for
the next step? We understand that making good professional decisions
can only be made by helping you meet your goals. WE LISTEN!
2. MARKETING YOURSELF
Once you have determined your goals, the second step is to
present your qualifications confidentially to companies that have the
ability to meet your needs. This means preparing an appropriate resume
and preparing for interviews.
Resume Preparation -
Your resume is an essential part of your marketing campaign. It is your
"promotional" piece designed to advertise you. It is essential that you
have a powerful resume because it is the first impression an employer
will have of you and your capabilities. While a resume should be highly
individual, some common guidelines should be followed so that an
employer can skim it in 90 seconds or less. We can coach you in
choosing a resume style that best highlights your strengths.
Preparation for an Interview -
An interviewer's objective is to decide whether or not to offer you a
job. The deciding factor may simply be a matter of how you present your
skills and qualifications, and the way you conduct yourself during the
interview. We can coach you with tips and techniques that will improve
your chances of positive results.
3. RELOCATION
This is the ONE word that causes the greatest amount of emotional
stress in the entire recruitment process. In some cases it is one of
joy - you get to go where you have always wanted to be. In most other
cases, it evokes the biggest concerns about the 'unknown':
- Will we like it?
- Where would I live?
- What about schools?
- How expensive will it be?
- What is the new area really like?
- Can we still do the things we like to do? - and so on��.
Here are some of the things we can do to ease those concerns and assist
you and your family through an orderly and less stressful transition:
- Free housing market appraisals (origin and destination)
- Cost of living comparisons between the two cities/areas
- Guided real estate tours of area and homes
- Special mortgage rates and rebates
- Detailed school district comparisons
- Salary conversions to account for regional differences
- Professional financial counseling for investments (stocks, bonds, IRA's, rollovers, 401K, profit sharing, etc.).

4. MANAGING CHANGE
Changing jobs can be exciting and scary. Making a career decision can
set off a series of unexpected events, and we are here to help you make
that transition, while avoiding the pitfalls. In addition to relocation
advice, we can assist you with resigning, as well as support you in
dealing tactfully with overtures from your current employer. We
understand that MAKING GOOD DECISIONS often means making hard
decisions, and we are there!
5. COMPENSATION EVALUATION
We can assist in determining the fair market value for your skills by
understanding your background and accomplishments, and in the case of
relocation, the cost of living changes.
