- 3. What is the difference between NEXT and my college career services center? Your
college career services center may have some of the same information as NEXT does.
Certainly the internet provides an abundance of resources as well. However, NEXT will focus
on YOU, providing a one-to-one career counseling service. The tools and confidence you will
achieve comes from real world job hunt experience, not the closed world of academia.
Moreover, you receive feedback specific to you, not the general student population, or
international web-based marketplace.
- 4. Will you provide me with a Resume and Cover Letter? Absolutely! You will receive a
targeted, professional resume and cover letter template. The cover letter template can be
personalized by you with very small changes. If you have even basic computer skills, you will
be able to make these changes. If we determine you need either two types of resume's or
cover letters for different jobs/career fields, NEXT will provide them at no extra charge.
- 5. Will a lack of experience hurt me in getting an entry level job? In some cases, yes.
However, there are multitudes of companies that specifically hire entry level employees. The
companies that will hire you, want you for your achievement, preparedness, energy,
enthusiasm, passion, and intelligence. Moreover, regardless of how long you have been
engaged in your professional career, you have acquired a vast amount of experience. Your
acquired skills are transferable across disciplines. Furthermore, companies appreciate the
fact that they can train you to work in their system. When you put forth the effort for them, they
will put forth the effort for you.
- 6. Are there other companies that provide this service? No, not in this area. There are a
number of executive career resource and recruiting companies, but they are focused on the
senior executive. These companies will charge you a an up-front fee, plus they will charge you
a percentage of your earned salary differential and upwards of 50% of a bonus should you
earn one in the negotiation process. Their total fees can easily be in five-figures. Moreover, if
you graduated from college within the past few years, those companies are not in business to
help you. They also cannot guarantee you a job.
- 7. How can I pay for NEXT's services? NEXT accepts cash and personal checks. We have
an initial consultation, and then once you decide to move forward, full payment is required
prior to our first session.
