Golden Career Strategies can help you:

Create a Powerful Network

A GCS professional helps you design an effective networking plan. In a poll conducted by the Society of Human Management (SHRM) and the Wall Street Journal’s executive career site CareerJournal.com, 95% of both HR professionals and job seekers use personal contacts or networking to find candidates or jobs. Most candidates are not aware of the network they have at their disposal. A GCS career professional can assist you in developing strategic connections through smart networking.

Discover New Ways of Thinking

Our coaches will empower you to think of new ways to transition your skills, interests, and abilities. We can also help you explore a career path you have not considered or perhaps one that will be much more rewarding.

Energize Your Search and Offer Support

A GCS credentialed coach energizes your search campaign by providing personal support. Job searches can be overwhelming and sometimes depressing. Having a good support system will keep you motivated and focused. Finding employment is a full-time job. Falling into a low energy trap can be avoided by working with our certified/credentialed coaches to build your capacity for resilience.

Our coaches and consultants also serve as good sounding boards. If you left your last position due to downsizing, restructuring, or even a bad fit, you can vent your frustrations with your career coach. Carrying around a load of grief, denial, and anger will sabotage your efforts. To avoid “shooting yourself in the foot,” we help you move beyond negative experiences and present a positive attitude. Your GCS professionals can help you shape a positive message and articulate answers to tough questions regarding your last position.

You can share your strengths, weaknesses, and uncertainties about your professional goals. Your coach will help you discover how to maximize your strengths and overcome your weaknesses. You can also discuss the pressures you are feeling with your career coach and learn powerful methods to minimize your stress, relieve your anxiety and build resilience.

Hold You Accountable

We help hold you accountable for how you spend your time. Having someone hold you accountable will most likely lead to landing your next position more quickly and efficiently than working independently.

Negotiate Your Best Compensation Package

GCS professional career consultants can help you negotiate your best salary and benefits compensation package. Some positions require an employment agreement with a bonus plan based on preset goals and objectives. Our professionals can offer suggestions and ideas to create a “win-win” situation.

The higher the employment level, the more sophisticated your compensation plan will likely be. Often GCS program costs are offset with consulting for the negotiation phase of your career transition. The program cost can also be offset by securing your new position faster than you would have on your own.

Enhance Your Performance

Our professionals can help with onboarding after you have found your desired position. In addition, many GCS clients have found that continuing a coaching relationship enhances their job performance and accelerates the further development of their careers.

Many GCS clients wish to take advantage of additional coaching to enhance job performance and accelerate career development. If you would like more information, please visit our extended coaching services page.
