I’ll work with you 1:1 to identify your unique value proposition, select companies that would be a good fit for you, and teach you methods to make connections with exactly the right people to advance your career.
We will also take the strategic insights gained from our conversations to modify your LinkedIn profile so it is perfectly consistent with the value you deliver.
We do a 1-hour call to develop your personal narrative.
I provide a custom-tailored search term exercise that you complete.
You send me the results. I provide you with a final report that includes:
-Top 5 financially stable companies
-Top 5 search terms
-Best-fit roles
-Networking strategy & tactics
We get on a 1-hour call to review summary results and discuss implementation of all recommendations.
I rewrite and update all sections of your LinkedIn profile, including:
-Personalized banner
-Headline
-Featured
-About
-Experience
-Skills
We do a 45-min review of all recommendations and I answer any questions you may have.
You execute on the strategy & tactics, and your job leads flow in. :)
There are almost an unlimited number of resume writers you could choose from, but how many of them have PhDs in medical science, understand your work, and have hiring experience in this industry?
I work with you to clearly articulate your summary, skills, and experience in a way that is accessible to your audience and highlights the value that you deliver, using language they understand.
You send me your current resume and I reformat it to have low cognitive burden, aesthetic appeal, and to be ATS friendly.
We get on a 1-hour call together and review every single detail to make sure it is being communicated in the right way.
Usually by the time we do 3-4 calls, we’re good to go.
Next, we spend 1 hour working through applied examples of how to tailor your executive summary and core competencies to the role you are most interested in.
You apply and get interviews. :)
You get to practice interviewing BEFORE the real thing. We‘ll work together on framing your responses, using language that appeals to your interviewer, and asking questions that set you apart from the generic questions your competition will be asking.
We‘ll even discuss how to prepare slide decks to provide an overview of the work you‘ve done before without overcomplicating your content, as many scientists tend to do.
As soon as you get an interview offer, you send me your resume and the job description, and schedule a time with me to practice.
I come up with a customized set of questions based on the job description, your resume, and my experience hiring.
I also come up with questions for you to ask.
We meet on a 1-hour recorded Zoom call and go through the entire list of questions as well as your responses. I coach you on your responses after each question.
After the call, I send you a video of the entire session.
You get a job offer. :)
After a layoff, I reached out to Ali to see if he could help me with a custom advising package. Working with Ali was a game-changer. His collaborative approach made me feel supported and empowered. I gained a new perspective on my past experiences, discovered hidden skills, and built newfound confidence to pursue my next industry role. I beat the competition and got hired.
After months of applying without getting an offer, I reached out to Ali. Within just one month of working with him I got an offer. He helped me secure interviews, guided me to ace them, and when I got my offer he helped me navigate my salary negotiations with poise. Working with Ali was a game-changer. He is quick to respond throughout the fast-paced interview process, and goes above and beyond for his clients. I feel equipped with skills that will benefit my career for years to come.
Ali helped me clarify my true value proposition. He took the time to walk me through the skill set that I have and to consolidate the varied (and sometimes disparate) parts of my professional career into a coherent narrative that was easy to pitch to employers. He also focused my efforts on networking, helping me find a style that felt natural and comfortable. He taught me excellent CV targeting skills, and generally demystified the hiring process for PhDs. Using Ali’s coaching, I networked my way to a research scientist position that was everything I wanted!
