Martin Yate, CPC - Executive Career Coach

“It really helped a lot for me to talk with you about things, and it got me out of my 'spinning the wheels' phase and into the productive plan that got me the job. Thanks again for your help and insight.”
- R.C., V.P. Marketing, London UK

“You turned a light bulb on for me. I know how to look at jobs and deconstruct them now. I can't believe I've never done this before.”
- R.M., VP Finance & Analysis, Boston MA

“After ten months, I had two good job offers. Thanks for walking through the maze with me and showing me how to find my own way out.”
- R.K., CIO Pharma, NJ

“Martin was invaluable in helping me recognize the brand value that exists in each one of us internally, encouraging me to be creative with my career.”
- D.G., CIO, San Jose CA

“The amazing thing is that every single darn thing you said was so obvious, so logical, so simple, such common sense that all I would think about after our counseling sessions was, 'Yes that's right. Of course, obviously, why didn't I think of that?'”
- P.S., VP Global T&D, Bergenfield NJ

“The deconstruction / construction process is a simple, no-brainer method ... it seems obvious — and yet I could not get there on my own. The elevator speech is also a no- brainer: If you don't know what you do, how do you expect someone else to know? Every potential employer needs to put you in a box — it is up to you to tell them which box.”
- C.V.B., Chief EMEA Customer Service. Chicago and London

“I'm the one that everyone looks to when things go wrong. It has been great to have another practical guy to discuss things with, without having to put up a front. He's got that funny English accent, but he knows what's what and how to get from here to there. I'll know next time!”
- CIO Pharma, NJ

“Thanks to your resume and interview coaching, I went from a Department Chair to getting my dream job offer of being the curatorial director for a chain of seven art galleries. One resume sent out, one interview arranged, one job offer 45 minutes later. It was like they had already decided to offer me the job.”
- B.K., Curator, Chicago IL

“Waiting for headhunters to call is like waiting for the fish to bite and waiting for responses from resumes sent to job postings is like waiting for Christmas.”

Here is a quick overview of some practical help programs:

The Job Search Focus and Plan of Attack Program
Achievable goals, a properly focused resume and a practical plan of attack form the foundation for any successful job search. Most executives feel painfully at sea when they start this process, two hours later when it is complete they always feel in complete control again.

Job Search Research
You know that when you get in front of the right people you can make things happen, but this world of Internet job search doesn’t seem to allow you that option. Learn how to identify target companies of all sizes, private or public, in any industrial sector and in city and any country in the world, plus the names of target hiring executives at those companies.

Job Search Document Development
Martin Yate will review your existing documents and implementation strategies and make specific recommendations for improvements. The results are documents that are professional in tone but are also relaxed, personal and energized.

Internet Job Search Tactics
Many executives have had "people"to do all their Internet research and so have never had the need to hone these mission critical skills.

Networking
It's been said time and again that networking is the most effective path to a new job, but the successful executive has usually been too busy getting the job done to build resilient networks. How to quickly build, leverage and maintain resilient networks.

Target Resume Distribution
Get access to effective, targeted resume distribution to executive recruiters, VCs, Management Consultancies and Equity Partners.

Interview Preparation
Maybe you have important interview coming up, but haven't interviewed in a while. You know a great deal hinges on your performance, and that saying "try me, you'll like me" isn't going to cut it in today's climate. Or perhaps your resume is getting you interviews, but you aren't turning them into job offers. You can learn how to turn those interviews into job offers from the guy who has been teaching managers all around the world how to interview for the last twenty years.

Salary Negotiation
Position yourself effectively for employment negotiation discussions. Together we will address: raising money issues, responding to salary questions, negotiating salary, benefits, stock options, relocation costs, tax implications and ancillary considerations. One hour with Martin Yate can make a difference of thousands of dollars a year.

Single Issue Resolution
If you have a single issue that is stalling your professional growth, your job search, or killing job offers and otherwise messing up your life, there is a solution. If you can identify the issue, are prepared to focus and listen with both ears, Martin Yate can invariably identify the root causes and the solution in one and a half hours.

Reference and Background Checks
Problem in the past and worried that references and background checks can derail your job search efforts? Mr. Yate can arrange to have both backgrounds and references checked by a trusted resource that has been in the business for over twenty years.

Career Planning and Management
We spend the majority of our waking hours at work, rather than with the ones we love, which makes many people feel dissatisfied with their lives. When you have career-related issues that are stalling the development of your professional life and the emotional fulfillment of your personal life, it is simply smart thinking to find someone who can help you stop the wheels from spinning and help you find traction.

The Entry—Level Professional Kick Start Program
This program has developed over the last few years as old clients come back bemoaning, "My son/daughter has graduated from a good school and still can't seem to find a job." It’s a four-hour program that helps the young professional target realistic goals and implement a logical, comprehensive and practical plan of attack as well as prepare for interviews. The lessons learned make this is a gift that keeps on giving throughout an entire professional career.
