Regardless of what experience level you are (senior-level or executive-level) 2 sets of edits are also included in the price as well as a brand-new 2-page resume would be created either for a specific job the client is applying for, a career field, or just an updated resume in general. 2 sets of edits are defined as the client looking at the first draft and if there are any edit(s) that they'd like made, I would make them as long as it doesn't involve me developing a brand-new resume. Then a revised draft would be provided with the first set of edit(s) (if applicable) and the second set of edit(s) (if applicable) would take place and I would make them as long as it's not developing another resume.

 A senior-level resume is for any individual who's either pursuing/staying in ANY manager position that's not higher level management (higher level management defined as any C-level position (i.e., CEO, CMIO, etc.) OR Director role). A senior-level resume is also for individuals who have 15 year's experience in the career field/job they're staying in/pursuing and doesn't have to be a manager role. This 2-page resume would be emailed to you in Microsoft Word & 2 sets of edits are included in the price (refer to above for definition of "2 sets of edits"). This resume is normally $338.08 with the debit/credit card fee I'm charged to process your card, but with the $10 off discount & with the debit/credit card fee the price would be $327.54 so I can net my $320 rate. Available for use 1-year from purchase date. **TO BUY & VIEW THE TERMS & CONDITIONS PRIOR TO PURCHASING (YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO CLOSE OUT BEFORE PROCEEDING TO PURCHASE AFTER VIEWING TERMS & CONDITIONS), VISIT THIS LINK TO MY ACTUAL NEWSLETTER WHICH WILL BRING YOU TO THIS SAME INFORMATION & SCROLL TO THE SAME SECTION & CLICK THE PURPLE "BUY NOW" BUTTON: https://conta.cc/3MDrF6r **

A list of 11 interview questions geared to senior & executive level cients (refer to definitions above) would be asked to the client at an up to 2-hour remote online interview practice session with me. Feedback & a sample response for each question would take place. Plenty of time for the client to take notes during this session. The client would also come dressed to this practice interview session as they would for their actual job interview so that I can critique their dress attire/appearance and provide dress/appearance recommendations (if applicable). This up to 2-hour interview practice session is $290.65 which also includes the debit/credit card processing fee I'm charged to process your card so that I can net my actual rate of $275.

​We often associate success with hard work and patient dedication to a specific discipline. But when things aren’t working in your favor, sometimes success calls for career reinvention, according to author Arthur Brooks. How can we make the jump to a new profession less daunting? To start, accept when you see your competence or motivation at work declining, Brooks advises. Then you can identify the steps you need to take to pivot, instead of just hoping that things will change for the better.

It's never too late to catch your second career wind.

I was having lunch with a friend today who told me about her friend who became a flight attendant after raising her two kids. At the age of 50, she made her dreams come true.

What's preventing you from achieving your dream job?

Are you buying into the mantra that at your age, no one will hire you?

Are you ready to do whatever it takes to pivot successfully?

Here are some tips to help you make a career jump feel less daunting:

1. Fully commit to making a change.

2. Be realistic in terms of how long it will take for you to land your dream position.

3. Get rid of the naysayers in your life who are telling you that you'll never be able to pivot.

4. Find a coach who can guide you through the process of successfully making a career transition.


Enjoy the journey!

Have you been sticking to a certain career field or job because that's all you know but know you want to do something else but aren't sure what?

Were you recently laid off or in between jobs and need a better direction on which types of jobs would be best suited for you?

Do you think you have too many interests and aren't sure which is the better route to go?

Are you curious to know what my career proprietary career personality test would recommend for you even though you know you're on the right path?

Or did you finally just recently obtain a job to pay to the bills, but is temporary and/or something you're not going to do long-term and would like to see what other options are out there?

If you said "Yes" to any of my questions above, I've got a proprietary 64-question career personality test that can provide a detailed analysis of your personality, at least 4 recommended career fields for you, & how my test is different than others you've taken is that mine will also provide recommended training for your recommended career fields. So, for example, if "Technology" was one of your recommended career fields with my test, my test would suggest you could attend DeVry University for training.

This test is normally with sales tax & the credit/debit card fee included (recall the processing fee I'm charged to process your payment when paying with a debit/credit card so that I can net my actual rate), $149.20 but until 11:55 pm Pacific Standard Time TOMORROW, Thursday, March 3, 2022 you can get my test for 50% off which would be $75.11. 

After taking your test and looking at your results, you can *optionally* decide to debrief & consult with me by asking me any questions you may have via a phone call that we would schedule. This *optional* consulting would be available at a rate of $2 per minute plus the debit/credit card fee I described above that I'm charged to process your card & you can purchase your desired time length below:

30 minutes = $60 ($64.04 with the card fee included)

60 minutes = $120 ($127.28 with card fee included)

​Greetings!

This past August, I wrote an article on what caused the rise and decline of homicides, some interesting trends, as well as the potential causes of their decline. I included 5 sources in this well-researched topic. My goal is to get this article published. I've pitched it to the following publications: Parent Map Magazine, NW Prime Time newspaper, The Ranger newspaper, the News Tribune newspaper (just to their tips email address so if you know of a contact here that you could introduce me to I'd be most grateful), NYmag.com, and Sagepub.com.

If I saw articles or books related or similar to my topic on their website, that's how I determined the above publications would be worth pitching to. I can of course work on pitching to the below places I'm written for & am published at that may feature this type of article.

​If you know of any other publications that may find my article beneficial for them, please let me know (minimally their website if they have one) &/or a name of the person & their contact information. (Basically, as much information that can help me as possible). You can let whoever you're discussing this to know that I'm a professional writer in Puyallup, WA that's been published in Woman's World Magazine (twice), the Eatonville Dispatch (newspaper), SouthSoundTalk.com, Tacoma.com, the Tacoma Art Group, the Federal Way Mirror (newspaper), South Sound Magazine, Showcase Media Magazine, the Business Examiner, & the Puyallup Herald (newspaper). Thank you in advance.

I went to H&R Block last year for my taxes & plan to go again this year. (As you may know, there are many H&R Block locations in various cities & locations, so you should have no problems finding a location near you), here's some interesting information about the company:

• Their tax professionals have an average of 10 year's experience, so they can handle even the most complicated tax returns. (My tax professional has retired twice and has (I believe 27 years' experience in this field).
• You can request to work with the same tax professional this year.
• You can get your taxes done in person, via drop off, or virtually.
• Get your maximum refund or get your money back - guaranteed.

​If you'd like to try out a new tax place, get $25 off (if you haven't prepared your taxes with them in 2020), while getting me $20 after you meet this criteria and present the coupon I would give you to use which expires April 10, 2022, then contact me. I should be able to scan the hard copy coupon to you or snail mail it to you. Don't worry if you're nowhere near being ready to do your taxes at least you'll have a legitimiate and reliable place to go at a cheaper rate when you are ready while helping me earn up to $300 (max referrals I can do).

Above would be where an image would normally be able to go, but my website company's upload image feature is still not working & they are still working on fixing it.

The LinkedIn setup/revamp package details:

​This package is for clients who do not have a LinkedIn profile OR for clients who want to update/revamp their existing profile. This package includes me interviewing you for an hour-online (you are emailed the questions I will ask you at the interview in advance so you can prepare your answers), me listening back to our recorded interview to write the just under 500-word bio (I give the maximum word count that LinkedIn allows for that "About" section), & 2 sets of edits per the final bio (2 sets of edits means you look at the first draft of your bio & if there are edits for me to make, I make them & then provide you the revised draft & if there are still any edits to make, I make them & post the final draft on your LinkedIn profile).

I post your described above bio on your LinkedIn profile which tells more than just your work history & positions that you're seeking (in that bio), some examples about who you are as a person (i.e. 3 words to describe you as a person & why and a quote or motto that you really like/use/were taught).

I completely fill out work history, put a professional photo of you on there (if you have one that you provide to me, I do not take pictures of you), updating your “open for work” sign on LinkedIn which is the green circle around your picture (if applicable) & putting the types of jobs you're looking for (i.e. full-time, part-time, contract, temporary, etc.) attaching pics, samples of your work, attachments, awards, volunteer, causes you support, changing your LinkedIn website link to be found easier & for marketing purposes, adding your skills (LinkedIn allows you to add phrases (words) to describe your skills & I can put what you want that apply to you (i.e. copywriting, writing, editing, customer service, are all examples of skills). I fix any grammar, punctuation, & spelling throughout your whole LinkedIn profile, & write an attention-grabbing headline (for example, if someone was unemployed, I wouldn't write "unemployed" for their headline on their LinkedIn profile, here's an example of an attention-grabbing headline: "Direct sales marketer who can double your business income minimum seeking hungry small to mid-size business owners"). Of course, I'd only write an attention-grabbing headline that were true as well. 🙂

All of the above-described services for the LinkedIn setup/revamp package is for $527.80 & includes the debit/credit card processing fee I'm charged so I can net my actual rate.

All services are good to use 1-year from purchase date.

**If you want to pay other than a debit/credit card, same terms, conditions, & deadline apply, just reach out to me ASAP to request for my mailing address so that you can snail mail your payment after replying back to an email I would send you that you would say that you understand & agree to the terms & conditions. The following prices are for the services without the debit/credit card processing fee:
for one LinkedIn review/setup package is $500, one mid-level resume is $260, & one 90-minute interview session geared to entry & mid-experience level clients is $200.**

​“Independence is happiness.”—Susan B. Anthony

Above would be the screenshot where I normally would show the image, but this feature is still not working & is under construction still.

I then forwarded this explaining what it was (just like I did to you) to 3 other people (one was a woman on LinkedIn asking for recommendations for a resume writer for her friend, another is a potential client who I have a scheduled meeting with next month that wants to learn more about what I do to see how I can help her clients, & the other is a potential client who's going to be letting me know this Friday if he'll be hiring me for a brand-new resume & LinkedIn revamp).

Of course, if you've got a moment, I'd love to keep that post active & be continuously planting the seed through social proof that I would be an excellent option to choose should my service(s) be needed/wanted from someone now/in the future. Here's the direct link to that post: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/mikaelakiner_coach-coaching-goalsetting2022-activity-6884223449779326976-Kjep/ Thank you in advance!

• Example #2: Recently, when I shared the audio debrief I created of a recent event I attended, "Finding your purpose & pursuing creativity" at the end of the debrief, I did a quick introduction on who I am, what I do, & for those interested in setting up a free, no obligation phone call with me to see if we'd be a good fit for working together & how to get in touch, but also included what 3 of my recent free calls were saying about my calls (which was positive feedback) enticing listeners.

 

• Example #3: When a potential client messaged me on LinkedIn how she would keep me in mind for services as there are 2 other calls she's scheduled with my competitors, she likes the fact that I really read what she wrote and responded to that. I replied back that another client had hired me beause of that & Leah Trice's written recommendation on my LinkedIn profile discusses that & she could read it. I also dug through old LinkedIn posts of mine to find the one where I posted to the public about the importance of attention to detail with an example of how I mailed back a bathroom mat to the company I had ordered from because they sent me the correct mat, just not the right size and had charged me for the larger size. I had shared that post on LinkedIn as a reminder/lesson that attention to detail is important as it can cost you money. (I wanted to share the post with this potential client to reinforce the point of our discussion and it also let her to get to know me a little more). This also would be an example of relationship building.

 

• Example #4: Starting this month when submitting price quote(s)/project proposals I'm not just offering a free, no obligation phone call, I'm also including how it's a maximized call. How is it maximized you ask? A call that involves me sending over tailored questions to the potential client PRIOR to our call so that they can think about their answers & be prepared to answer at our call is maximized wouldn't you say? We are making use of the time at the call versus just getting on the call & not having a game plan of what we'll be discussing. It not only maximizes the time, but keeps the potential client on track.

I'd love to hear what new thing(s) you're trying to be different with & stand out for obtaining jobs & business as well as well if it worked for you (i.e. either in getting you business/the job and/or spreading awareness to get business &/or the job that was favorable, etc).

Don't see a service that's a fit for you below? (For my specials this month) then be sure to email me for any questions/inquiries on how I could help you and/or your referral with career guidance, business marketing, writing, editing, &/or LinkedIn services (in general).
‌

Happy New Year!

Greetings!

​I hope this message finds you well & you had a productive, yet relaxing weekend. Or a productively relaxing weekend if relaxing was your intentions. :)

May 2022 be a year where you accomplish the goal(s) you didn't last year, the previous year(s), or the one(s) you set to accomplish this year. May you be blessed, fortunate, to be envied, and prosperous.

And if you're feeling like giving up because you're not getting where you want to be/need to be in your career or business or know you should no longer be putting off updating your marketing tools (i.e., resume, LinkedIn profile, yourself) for obtaining jobs & business, then consider my specials this month (it's slightly different than last month's) &/or setting up a free, no obligation phone call with me to see if we'd be a good fit for working together.
