Judi Perkins

Judi is a fantastic job search coach. She has clear and creative strategies for taking ownership of your career. Her guidelines are simple and she tailors her approach to match your personality-type motivators. The work she proposes may require some self-evaluation which can be intimidating but the results are concrete and phenomenal. Once you engage with Judi, you will find the perfect job and feel valuable in your career!

Some coaches have successfully transformed their own career - that's not enough. Others were in management and have hired people throughout their career (50 people maybe?), but that doesn't make them an expert. Plus, you're getting only their opinion.

Other coaches may have done speaking gigs and been quoted in print so they’re good at marketing, but are they good at career coaching? Can they get you where you need to go? What’s their background? What's their source of information? Experience.....or books?

Judi gave me a whole new perspective on my job search. I was preparing for a phone interview and felt unsure of how to prepare. Judi gave me some solid advice and also gave me a homework assignment. I can’t tell you how surprised I was when the interviewer covered all the points Judi had discussed with me! Judi gave me a new outlook on my job search by boosting my attitude and giving me the confidence I needed. I was inspired by her wisdom, experience, and her can-do attitude. She is definitely the go-to gal to help in your job search and to land the job!

I'm a straight up, no BS, advocate of you. You’ll get psychology, wisdom, understanding, friendship, irreverence, advanced sales knowledge, common sense, and irreverence when you work with me. I'm a little bit of a renegade and I often throw out the window many of the principles and advice others embrace as necessary for a successful job search.

If you want to challenge your thinking, learn new ways of understanding how to find a job, learn skills you’ll take with you the rest of your career, and work hard, I’m who you want. If you want a magic bullet or someone who will tell you what you want to hear in order to sell you stuff, I’m not. Read the pages and pages of testimonials on my website.

I was a very successful recruiter for C-level through mid-level management for 22 years and have a very unusual background in contingency, employment agency, and retained experience, plus a very diverse background in multiple industries and functions.

The biggest thing I've liked is the fact that your approach is systematic. From day one, I knew which steps we were going to take and in which order. I knew right from the website that month one was going to be largely set-up and preliminary work. So there was no expectation of finding a job right away. Now, I'm seeing the work pay off. Obviously, the interview is great, but I'm getting some good leads from the cold letters and calls as well. I'm confident that I'll be able to land something through the cold letters and follow up calls.

Here are just some of the differences between the normal stuff out there and what I believe:
Everyone else:

• will give you advice that puts you, unknowingly, on the defensive. I’ll show you how to make sure you are not on the defensive. The company should not have 100% of the power, despite that almost every job seeker allows that to happen (which is partially why your search is going nowhere).
• will tell you how to get the job. I’ll tell you that - but in a radically different manner – plus how to make sure you want the job in the first place
• will tell you what you should do and have to do. I’ll show you what you don’t need to bother with (like learning interviewing styles) and tell you why

and:

Nowhere else will you learn what the subtext of each piece of the interviewing process means When you understand the subtext - the hidden meaning of the questions and what the interviewer really means - you have more control over what's going on. When you see how they fit together and build on each other, it's easy to understand why the sequence, effectively executed, brings a natural and easy conclusion.

That puts you in control. And when the company wants you, that means you can decide whether you want to pursue it...or not. When you’re not a job chameleon, your odds of your finding your perfect job are much higher. Would you rather be in your perfect job? Or one that suffices and 6 months later has lost much of its luster?

Can you say dream job!! That's what I have right now. I worked with Judi on her program and now I am in a job that's perfect for me. Judi's knowledge on ways to find a job is above the rest. She taught me the importance of a dynamic resume, the art of networking, perseverance, what to say and what not to say to prospective employers, and how to market yourself so that you stand out above everyone else. If you follow her advice and expertise, you too will have a job you love.

The best way to see why the typical methods of finding a job don't work is to sign up for my newsletter. You'll begin to have an entirely different view of your job search. You can do that at www.FindthePerfectJob.com. The form will be immediately visible when you get there.

This is where specials, opportunities, and programs specifically for my list become available for you to take advantage of.

This spring (2011) I have a book that will shortly be under consideration for publishing. It's been available - and still is - for three years as a download on my site and has received a great deal of praise from job seekers who have read it. How to Partner With A Recruiter: Everything You Need to Know About Working With One, but Didn't Know Who to Ask. It's based on my extensive and very succesful, 22-year background as a third party recruiter.

I'm also working on a self study version and a larger class version of my very successful retained program, which I've developed with small classes of 7 people.

Because so many of you are watching your money so closely, my focus is to provide as thorough help as possible to as many people as possible for the most value and lowest cost possible. That will leave me time to do some pro bono work with individuals and programs such as Dress for Success.

Judi provides a unique perspective on job seeking. Her advice incorporates the possible viewpoints of employers/HR departments as well as the job seeker’s personal and professional goals. Most career coaches have a canned approach and try to fit any client into that formula without actually listening to determine each person’s unique situation. Also, Judi’s fees are very reasonable in this difficult economy and one can purchase different services as needed.
