“I have felt for a long time that we do not get to know our clients well enough before we begin a job search. The Discovery process addresses that concern and the work associated with it provides ample material for a thorough understanding of the job seeker, his skills, his challenges and his personality. I really like the Visual Resume approach for those with the greatest challenges. That, in itself, quickly alerts the prospective employer to the job seeker’s skill sets. Add the Needs Analysis and it will be apparent whether or not the job seeker may make a good fit with that company. I like not taking my job seeker to that first meeting because if there is no interest at all, he/she is saved disappointment. With this approach those with the greatest challenges have representation and a much greater likelihood of employment, especially long term. More work up front equals greater retention [of these individuals] on the back end.”
