Career Strategies -  Consulting Services

Communication is the key to success, therefore, Rinker & Associates focuses on individual consulting or coaching.  Consulting services are based on a fixed hourly fee.  Each session is tailored to your specific needs and the meeting schedule is determined by your needs.  We meet on an as-needed basis - - that means, we meet as often as we need to for "talk time", "studio time", or a combination of both.  Marketing Collateral and Business Development tools and templates from the RWCS Studio are included with the hourly service fee.

We help you with the following:
bulletCareer Changes - Development & Re-Entry
bulletIt's Not Who You Know, It's Who Knows You! - Professional Networking Techniques
bulletChart Your Course - Strategy and Marketing Plans
bulletMake Your Best First Impression - Marketing Collateral

Career Changes - Development &  Re-Entry

Making changes or managing a career transition can be your best next step. If you are ready to "make a move" or re-entering the job market after an extended period of time, Rinker & Associates will help you rethink your job search campaign and incorporate strategies that work in today's "real world".

It's Not Who You Know, It's Who Knows You! - Professional Networking (Joy of Networking!)

Your overall success rate is heightened by your ability to network.  Whether you are building your first professional network of contacts, or expanding your existing network, discover the "Joy of Networking!" with real world guidance from Rinker &  Associates for effective use of your time and energy.  We also advise you on the invaluable "Information Interview" during the research phase of your career transition, and will help you with technique and etiquette of this particular networking approach.

Chart Your Course - Strategy & Marketing Plans

The success of your job search or business advancement campaign relies on your ability to lay out a road map and focus on your goals.  Following a road map to "nowhere in particular" will lead you right to "nowhere".  Take the road less traveled while following well defined marketing steps.  Rinker & Associates can help you create a strategy and marketing plan to get you engaged in a thoughtful results-oriented process.

Make Your Best First Impression - Marketing Collateral Portfolio

You may have many opportunities to make your first impression - - but each one will occur only once.  Make each first impression your best by creating job and marketing collateral that clearly reflect who you are.  Rinker & Associates' tools will help you set yourself apart with effective Resumes, Cover Letters, Interview Letters, Job Offer Responses, etc.

Tell Your Story - Interview Finesse

Landing an interview is your key opportunity to "tell your story" in person.  The interview process can be a very complex and daunting experience, particularly in the corporate world.  Rinker & Associates offer tips for techniques tailored to your communication style, interactive practice interview sessions, and ideas for handling even the "toughest" interview questions.
