Rachel Josephson

COUNSELOR, ADVISOR, EDUCATOR, MOTIVATOR
My role, when working with clients, young or old, is to teach them to fish. I want them to learn the skills they need to successfully job search long after they leave the comfort of a career consultant. Having strong counseling skills helps me with listening, supporting, and asking the right questions to help my clients customize the “fishing” process.
CAREER MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT/JOB SEARCH STRATEGIST AND COACH
I have advised individuals from high school to college alumni to effectively strategize an internship and/or job search. I help people figure out their strengths, skills, interests and values to determine how they match up with a company culture/professional position. The best chance for a positive outcome comes through combining self-reflection with active and targeted networking and research.
RESUME CRITIC AND WHISPERER
Having learned the nuances of how to navigate MS Word, I am very comfortable working with content to make it fit effectively on a single page (or beyond for more experienced professionals). Using strong counseling and detective skills, I work closely with my clients to discern what is critical and present in the most action/goal oriented way.
EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION PROPONENT
Internships are a fantastic way for a student to apply theory to practice. Students discern what type of work environment works best with their personality, skills, interests and values. Many companies are willing to “convert” interns to full time positions whenever possible as it saves them time and money. The value of internships, pre-professional experience, and even volunteering, cannot be underestimated!
