Dear Khaled,
Thanks for your email. We are very excited to let you know that we will be partnering up with Career Coaches from Aspire Higher that will be able to help you and others with career questions and help in finding what it is that they want to do. For your query, we contacted Jamie Pritchard, A Career and Life Balance Coach from Aspire Higher for his advice. Here is his answer:
Khaled:
Thank you for your note regarding your job search challenges.
I sense that you are frustrated in the strategies that you are utilizing in your job search in the hospitality industry.
To answer your immediate need I could recommend the following:
1)www.resumewriters.com- Is a professional resumewriting service that will take your content and transform it into a professionally written resume and cover letter. Prices range from $35.00-$300.00 U.S. depending on the scope and type of resume you are looking for.
Two other possibilities that may help your job search include:
2)WOW Resume- Canjobs provides a service through WOW resume that will provide you with the professional placement of your resume on a CD or downloadable version. You can access this site by going to WOW Resume Once there you can click on th WOW Resume Icon and begin creating your CD.
3)Aspire Higher Coaching: Coaching is a very valuable tool for those seeking a career change. Coaching takes a holistic approach to your career search and helps prepare YOU for the process. It moves you into real action faster then you could do on your own.
A coach can work with you on practical aspects of a career search like;
How do I write a proper resume? Where can I find self assessment tools? How do I know I am in the right career? A coach can also help you look at your core values-
What am I really good at? What would be my dream job? What steps do I need to take to get there?
Aspire Higher is a Canadian based coaching firm that will be offering career coaching services to Canjobs users. I have attached an upcoming article for your perusal. This will give you a better flavour for what coaching is and how you might benefit from a coaching engagement.
If you are interested in investigating this option you can contact the founder- Jamie Pritchard directly at jamie.pritchard@aspirehigher.ca or by calling 519-766-9001.
A website link is currently under development and will be in place by the end of July 2003.
