- Building your confidence
- Overcoming your fears (e.g., trying something new, networking, selling yourself, applying, interviewing)

We Help You Leverage Social Media & Technology for Your Job Search
You may be wondering: How do I use LinkedIn for my job search? Should I use Facebook or Twitter? What about Instagram? Do I need my own website?
You may not be up on the latest Social Media tips & tricks, but we can help!
Even if you know what an ATS is, you may not know how to format your resume to successfully pass through the current ATS settings.
And, now Zoom video interviews are prevalent. We can help you “ace” them by practicing with us& learning to present yourself well for videoconferencing.
Your Donna Schilder Job Coach™ will help you leverage the technology of job search to your advantage.
