She helps accomplished leaders capture and convey their value in the marketplace and provides organizations with customized solutions that address critical skill gaps, drive high performance, and unlock business potential.
Executive Resume Writing
An engaging resume that clearly articulates your successes and differentiates you from your competitors is critical in today’s talent marketplace.
But determining your positioning, identifying and organizing essential content, and finding the time to do it can be challenging.
Leadership Career Consultant Amy Phillip takes the guesswork out of executive resume writing. Amy will partner with you to uncover your accomplishments and tell your career story, highlighting your impact on the business and your organization.
Whether you refresh your resume every year or have not opened it in a decade, Amy will work with you to create a compelling resume that clearly communicates your business value.
Amy’s packaging of your career dossier can also include your corporate biography, LinkedIn profile, introductory letters, and your visual leadership brief.
VISUAL LEADERSHIP BRIEF
There are some instances—such as executive speaking engagements, business plans, formal proposals, and corporate websites—when a traditional narrative biography is customary.
But as visual communication has evolved, demand for a concise and creatively impactful biographical tool has developed.
The visual leadership brief—a modern alternative to your traditional bio—is an excellent tool for senior executives seeking to capture their experience in a clear, crisp, and visually compelling manner.
It can be used as a brief and effective form of introduction for networking purposes via email, combined with your Linkedin profile, or serve as a companion piece to your executive resume.
Job Search & Interview Coaching
Beginning a new job search and navigating the complexities of today’s competitively intense job market can be challenging on your own. Not to mention that being on the other side of the interview table and confidently presenting yourself during an interview with a prospective employer can seem unnerving to even the most accomplished leaders.
Drawing on her years of experience leading talent acquisition and conducting executive interviews, Job Search and Interview Coach Amy Phillip has her finger on the pulse of the talent marketplace and can work with you on your overall job search strategy and serve as an ongoing sounding board and advisor throughout the duration of your search.
Amy is attuned to the hiring practices and thought processes surrounding selection decisions and helps executives improve their interviewing comfort level by preparing for the types of questions that may be asked.
She can work with you to identify the aspects of your leadership and experience that matter most and organize your messages for maximum impact.
Through a combination of coaching, role-playing exercises, and constructive feedback, Amy will help you confidently communicate your career story and value, differentiate between traditional and behavior-based interview questions, and close the interview effectively.
