Understands Hiring Practices of Today's F500 Firms for Executive Positions

by rcprspecialist at Citysearch

The first hour I spent with Nick completely changed my perspective on what it takes to get hired at the executive level by today's leading global firms. We discussed resumes, how global companies screen applicants at the executive level, positioning, and a host of other topics. I realized, through informative consultations with Nick, that in the last 10 years everything has changed in terms of what it takes to get noticed and to land in the pool of finalists for top rated positions. Nick is a firm believer in having skilled applicants take control of the job search process, not only in terms of how they apply for jobs, but where they apply. He empowers you to research firms you would like to work for and then helps you make those aspirations a reality. I can't say enough about his talents. I have recommended Nick to other senior executives and will continue to do so moving forward.

by LogisticsExecutive at Citysearch

The resume that Nick Parham developed for me sparked the interest of hiring managers and got great results. I had a call for an interview in less than 24 hours after I applied for my first job using the resume that Nick prepared for me. I also wanted a person that would be available to answer questions and coach me through challenging situations. Nick was always available to assist me and gave me a lot of valuable advice.

Nick is a very talented and knowledgeable, and I was well prepared after meeting with him. He explains the services that he offers and let's you decide on what you want. I highly recommend Nick Parham.

Comprehensive and practical career services

by brendanhickey at Citysearch

Nick Parham was tremendously helpful when I was looking to get back into technology sales after 4 years in another industry. He guided me through a series of questions designed to uncover my most notable career achievements, my strengths and weaknesses, and the "soft skills" that employers need, but many resumes and job seekers neglect to mention. He recommends a skills-based resume format which is a refreshing alternative to the old-school boring chronological timeline. Based on his coaching, I quickly lined up a series of interviews, which turned into two very exciting job offers.
