Lauren actually got 2 job Offers in less than 1 month!!

Client Background:

Lauren, a newly licensed nurse from California, faced the highly competitive landscape of securing a position in a critical care residency program. California is known for its rigorous job market, and Lauren was determined to secure a role in a critical care setting. However, she struggled to land interviews and, when she did, they weren’t leading to offers, leaving her feeling defeated and low on confidence.

Objective:

My goal was to help Lauren stand out in a crowded field of applicants and secure her dream position in a critical care residency program. We aimed to boost her confidence, refine her application, and enhance her interview skills to make her a top contender.

Targeted Strategy:

1. Resume and Cover Letter Revamp (Week 1):
2. Confidence Building and Interview Coaching (Weeks 1-2):
3. Mock Interviews and Networking (Weeks 2-3):
4. Targeted Application Strategy and Branding (Week 3):

Results:

Out of 400 applicants, Lauren was one of only 68 nurses who go to the final interview stage. And Lauren got accepted into the year-long critical care residency program at her top-choice hospital in California. This program provides comprehensive support, frameworks and training, helping new nurses thrive in specialized areas.

Not only did she earn a spot in this prestigious program, but she also secured a critical care position, aligning perfectly with her career goals. Within 1 months, Lauren had secured her dream job.

Conclusion:
