Welcome
Liz Ryan was a corporate HR VP for twenty years. Now she and her colleagues teach job-seekers how to shift the job-search frame to keep their power and find great jobs with employers who deserve them. We coach job-seekers and budding entrepreneurs on the telephone, lead four-week virtual coaching groups, and host regular (free) webinars for job-seekers, career-changers and reinventionists.
Human-Voiced Resume™
What is a Human-Voiced Resume™? It’s a professional and highly appealing approach to resume-writing, originated by Liz Ryan.
A Human-Voiced Resume™ throws out the dusty corporate language and replaces it with vivid, human stories to bring a job-seeker’s energy and personality onto the page.
- A Human-Voiced Resume™ doesn’t tell us what it should be showing us
- A Human-Voiced Resume™ has a clear, directed storyline that brings the reader along on your journey
- A Human-Voiced Resume™ doesn’t list the tasks and duties you performed at your past job. It tells mini-stories instead
- A Human-Voiced Resume™ uses plain language, without any awful corporate speak boilerplate
- A Human-Voiced Resume™ brings you across on the page….not just your work history.
Pain Letter™
Pain Letters™ often elicit the response from hiring managers, “You were the first [or only] candidate I wanted to meet!”
Liz Ryan’s Pain Letter™ approach has helped CFOs and other senior executives to entry-level employees get terrific jobs with employers that deserved their talents. And isn’t that the point of a job search – to end up with an employer that values what you bring?
- A Pain Letter™ is Liz Ryan’s answer to an old-fashioned, standard-issue cover letter.
- A Pain Letter™ replaces and improves upon the cover letter concept, by speaking directly to the hiring manager about the pain behind the job ad.
- A Pain Letter™ makes it clear that you, a job-seeker, see what the hiring manager is up against and have slain a very similar dragon before.
- A Pain Letter™ has a human voice in it, just as a Human-Voiced Resume™ does. It’s confident and convicted, as well as personal and authentic.
