Four distinct levels of support

Career Services Pathway

Different career needs require different levels of support. Choose the engagement that matches the complexity of the decision, rather than simply selecting the highest-priced option.

Choose Complete Career Strategy if:

You need help clarifying direction, positioning, and coordinated materials.

Choose 60-Day Career Campaign if:

You want strategy plus active support through the search campaign.

Keith was referred to me by two people. I have been a teacher for 12 years and wanted to explore other opportunities besides education. I reached out to Keith in 2022. He quoted a reasonable price. I finally reconnected with him in 2023 and he honored the quote which was very classy. He has a very quick turnaround time and while I was slower on my end he was patient with me and responded within 24 hours to any messages I sent him. Very profession and proficient. I highly recommend.

As a newly separated veteran, I was struggling in writing a resume that vividly translates my military IT experience into a resume that can be used in the private sector. Keith, did not only make that translation possible, he also exceeded my expectations with how professionally stunning the resume looked. The assistance and work he did to form my new resume is better than anything I could've hoped for. I would truly recommend his services to anyone who needs them.
