OUR PRACTICE

Whether working with an individual seeking to enter the workforce for the first-time or a seasoned executive pursuing a career transition, Spearmint Coaching will help you successfully navigate your search. We start by using a combination of one-on-one interviews and powerful research-proven tools to gain a complete understanding of your strengths and skills, including your interests, your education, and your life experiences. These make up your “innate operating system” and shape the unique way you see the world. Using this as a beacon and drawing on their own expertise, your Spearmint coach will then work with you to develop your individual career game plan.

THE SPEARMINT METHODOLOGY

Spearmint Coaching uses a proven methodology with its clients to get them search ready. Some of the key activities you may participate in include:

TARGET SETTING

Your coach will spend time getting to know you, your current situation, and your future goals. Together, you will pinpoint challenges, priorities, and opportunities so that you can narrow down your bottom line and move forward with confidence.

CREATE THE ROADMAP

Spearmint will help you craft a detailed strategic guide to keep you on track and moving forward with each session. You’ll also learn how to make strategic career decisions and adapt your roadmap to changing priorities along the search route.

YOUR PROFESSIONAL VALUE PROPOSITION

Once your plan is in place, Spearmint will help you produce a personal branding statement that you can be proud of. Spearmint’s powerful PVP is a written document produced with your strengths (and hiring insights) in mind. Your PVP will fuel your marketing plan and help you engage your network effectively. You’ll learn how to use this strategic branding document to leverage your network and create interview opportunities.

WORK YOUR IN-PERSON PRESENCE

The only person that will be able to sell you in your search is YOU! Your coach will help you craft and prepare a powerful, concise pitch that you can repurpose for any networking or interview scenario in order to immediately deliver your unique value and keep your contacts engaged.

EXPAND YOUR NETWORK WITH HIGH-VALUE CONTACTS

Once your branding basics are in place and you’re feeling confident, you’ll learn how to strategically generate new contacts and job leads using a proven networking strategy that will have you feeling confident, energized, and productive.

RESUME & COVER LETTER READY

As your offline networks expands, you’ll be ready to send your resume to interested contacts. Using best writing practices, Spearmint’s team will collaborate with you on resume mechanics and make sure your resume is as applicant tracking software (ATS) ready as possible. By focusing on your skills and accomplishments, you’ll have a resume/cover letter combo you can feel confident to present to prospective employers.

ONLINE EXPERTISE

You’ll also tap into your online network for valuable research, leads, and opportunities. To produce the optimum results online, you’ll need to be optimized and LinkedIn proficient. In addition, you’ll also engage in a collaborative profile writing process so that your online brand attracts your target audience and reflects the best version of you.
