| Helping you get unstuck: pick one |
I make available many materials that will give you some coaching, right off the page, several ways. So whether you're a new vet, a career shifter, a new grad, or planning your second or third career, there's something for you that's designed to help.
First, at my Ignite Your Job Search Store. There are now gift certificates at the store. Mention this (or forward this newsletter) to family and friends for a gift for yourself, or get one for someone you know who needs a boost in their career or job search. And the gift certificates are personalized for your recipient. Samples of the guides that are at the store: Want to know how to create a target list of employers? There's now a guide for that. What are the only five interview questions? There's a guide for that, too.
You can even get live coaching time with Joanne here -- at rates that will more than pay you back when you use what you learn!
All are at minimal prices, with a secure connection when you use a credit card to purchase.
Also, right on the home page is a link to my free YouTube channel, where you'll see more and more helpful videos. These include three short videos about Applicant Tracking Systems, helping you get your resume INTO the system. Check it out.
And while you're at the site, see what else you can read that will help you (the blog, archives of this newsletter), or what's free to download.

A personal note: Thank you to so many of you who sent thoughtful messages upon the loss of my mother, at the end of March. She'd been ailing for some time but was still sharp as a tack, "with it", funny, and feisty.
Thanks, Mom, for so much that words cannot express.
