Two men shared the same prison cell for 20 years. Finally, one was released at the end of his term. As he was walking toward the exit gates, he heard a voice behind him and turned to see his cellmate running toward him. “Joe, Joe…there’s something I forgot to tell you!”

That’s how we felt when we finished writing our book, Modernize Your Executive Job Search: Get Noticed…Get Hired.

(Who are we? We're Jan Melnik and Louise Kursmark, Master Resume Writers and executive career coaches with decades of experience helping senior executives advance their careers.)

We realized that, no matter how thorough the book, we couldn’t include every client anecdote or lesson-learned, every bit of insider knowledge that our clients have shared with us. So we created a series of 6 audio sessions in which we talk about careers and share even more advice and time-tested recommendations.

In engaging, informative conversations, we walk you through exactly what steps to take to get started, build momentum, and make tangible progress in your search for a new executive opportunity.

Each episode focuses on a specific area of executive job search and features wide-ranging conversation, advice, practical tips and tools, and roadblock-removing solutions to help you gain mastery in managing your career—today and in every career transition you will face throughout your lifetime of work.

We conclude each half-hour session with an exercise that will cement the learning and put ideas and strategies into practical execution.

Listen during your commute…while working out…when making dinner…whenever you have a few minutes to invest in expanding your expertise in the crucial topic of career self-management. The sessions are lively, fast-paced, and filled with useful knowledge that we’ve gained from our decades of working with executives in career transition.

Designed as a standalone resource as well as a companion to our book, these 6 relevant and to-the-point conversations break down a vast topic and provide tips and insights that have been valuable to our executive clients—and will be valuable and useful to you.

You can zero in on the topic that’s most pressing or take advantage of all 6 programs.
