Search for a job with less stress, more confidence and amazing results.

Take Charge

A job search can be confusing, overwhelming and stressful.    Consider the male-dominated field of tech, and being seen and heard for Women in Tech-related Careers is even more challenging.

That’s when questions like these start buzzing in your head.

  • Where do I even start? 
  • Am I spending time on the right things? 
  • What am I missing?
  • How do I set myself apart?
  • Do I even have a chance?
  • How do I balance a job search, working and a family?

Imagine replacing questions, doubt and angst with a two-word rebel cheer: Take Charge!

Take Charge is the only on-demand, self-paced course that teaches high-impact job search strategies, skills and tactics – exclusively for Women in Tech-related Careers. One power step leads to another. Take Charge makes each one count.

From mindset to negotiating an offer — find your next job faster, more confidently and with amazing results (like more money, perks and opportunity for growth!)

“I am convinced that the Game Changer Tool that I learned about in Take Charge was the secret weapon and why I got the job.” – Take Charge Graduate

What would be the value if . . .

You could start a higher-paying job – one month sooner?

You felt clear and confident about the job search process?

You could showcase your skills and abilities in such a way as to elevate yourself above the competition?

You could actually help companies “see” you in the role you applied for?

You could have a job search that is organized and almost done for you?

You could ask for more money with 100% confidence?

You could achieve results you never imagined possible? 

Step into the driver’s seat.

Take Charge is your all-in-one job search tool:

     ♦  Even if … you don’t have a clue what your next career move is

     ♦  Even if … you haven’t updated your resume in years

     ♦  Even if … you feel overwhelmed with no idea where to start

     ♦  Even if … you think there’s no way your background matches your dream job

     ♦  Even if … you’ve recently been downsized, downplayed or down in the dumps

Whether you’re looking to move up in your company or find a new job, the story of your career is about to change.

Take Charge arms you with new strategies, skills and tactics. 

First, you’ll get clear on what YOU want from your career and create a job tracking document that keeps you motivated and focused.

Next, you’ll discover hidden opportunities to attract recruiters, hiring managers and promotion committees. With your newfound networking strategies, every virtual or live event becomes a career growth opportunity.

Naturally, you are SO job search smart that your keywords leap over the scanners. Your resume and LinkedIn profile peak curiosity. Your phone call leaves hiring managers wanting more. And your follow-up? Sets you apart by a country mile.

And then, the big finish. As you begin negotiating salary and perks, something magical happens. You’ve differentiated yourself SO well all along that you confidently ask for more — enough to make you say: “Yes, I did it!”

Way to work it! You left nothin’ on the table for your job search.

The epilogue: this beautiful ending is just the beginning . . .
