My Story by Catherine Palma
I remember the first time I was laid off from a job. It caught me completely by surprise. I was angry, confused and fearful about how I would make ends meet. I didn’t know anyone who had been through a layoff and I didn’t have a clue where or how to begin a job search. Since I worked in Human Resources, I probably had a better idea than most so I muddled my way through and, thankfully, landed safely a short time later.
Fast forward several years. I had been doing executive search and technical recruiting for 10 years. The work was interesting and the job market was booming. I had more work than I could handle.
Then “It” happened – the worst recession the US has seen in decades. Almost overnight I was flooded with resumes from highly qualified candidates. My heart went out to them, but I had very few job orders and no place to refer them.
Even more frustrating was seeing these candidates make the same common mistakes over and over again that were hindering their chances at landing that next perfect job. If only they knew what I knew . . .
Then it hit me – I can teach them what I know! And so my job seeker coaching practice was born in the fall of 2009.
This is some of the most rewarding and challenging work I have ever done and I enjoy it immensely, but I realized that I could only reach a limited number of people. Individual coaching can be time intensive, and sometimes cost prohibitive.
How could I expand my reach and give access to this valuable information to a broader range of people? The answer is Jumpstart Your Job Search™. Please read on to learn more.
I look forward to working with you. |

Jumpstart Your Job Search™ classes will be held via telephone conference line on Wednesday evenings at 7:30 PM ET. Our next series of classes is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, June 23, 2010
Jumpstart Your Job Search™ includes:
Ø One 20-30 minute private telephone consultation with Catherine Palma, Founder and Principal Consultant at Higher Ground Associates, to assess your concerns and needs regarding your job search.
Ø Six 90 minute interactive teleseminars
Ø Downloadable audio recordings of each teleseminar for later review and/or if you are unable to attend one or more classes

Take a moment to think about how much your
job search is costing you.
Ø In all likelihood, each month you are out of work is resulting in a loss of thousands of dollars
Ø Not to mention the mental, emotional and relational stresses that a job search can cause.
How much is it worth to cut your job search time?
In an individual coaching environment, similar sessions would cost well over $1500. In a group setting, however, we’re able to offer this fantastic value for only $347.
