Book a free 30-minute call with a career coach to develop your customized "Fast Way to Get Hired" game plan

Depending on your needs and goals we offer different packages:

  • Career Counselling

    STEP 1. GET THE CLARITY. Understand exactly WHAT role you WANT. Assess all your skills and understand what role you CAN get. Determine whether it will PAY and is ON DEMAND in your market.
    Most people seek jobs without even knowing what to look for, and it is only when they get hired that they realize it is not what they wanted.
    Get a higher rate of resume response by being the right candidate every time you apply.
    STEP 2. PLAN. Determine what role you can apply for right NOW without necessarily going back to school and wasting your time.
    Candidates often don't get interview invitations, because they apply for a wrong seniority level (overqualified or underqualified), get discouraged and decide to start a new career from scratch.
    Set the GOALS to get additional skills while working and launch the process of getting promoted to your next level.
    STEP 3. CREATE YOUR BRAND. Be able to describe your professional value to anyone in 30 seconds.
    When asked, candidates often cannot clearly explain who they are (sometimes even to themselves).
    Have your ELEVATOR PITCH handy at any point of your life, so the right employer will know you are the person they want.

  • Job Search

    STEP 1. BUILD YOUR RESUME, LINKEDIN, COVER LETTER and other marketing materials. 95% of applicants have a generic resume, often written by "special" services.

    Only on average 2% of candidates are being invited for an interview. There are on average 200-700 applicants for each opening. Even if the resume gets through the HR scanner, the recruiter has on average 6 seconds to decide.

    Improve your resume not to just pass the ATS (Applicant Tracking System), but to catch the recruiter's attention with industry-relevant achievements and professional charm.

    STEP 2. DESIGN YOUR NETWORK
    . Get access to hidden job posts and professional insights, that none of the career experts can do for you.

    Job seekers don't use opportunities to connect with people, because they simply don't know how to use them, thus feeling uncomfortable.

    Boost your professional profile by getting "insider" information, get referenced and dramatically increase your chances to get hired.

    STEP 3. COME UP WITH THE RIGHT JOB APPLICATION STRATEGY.

    People often send applications in a chaotic way and by using the standard "apply" button, which gets them to the bottom of the candidate pool; with no results, they get demotivated and decide to stay where they are (because it's safe).

    Speed up the application process by staying productive and organized without making unnecessary steps; get fast results, that will explode your motivation.

  • Interview Prep

    PASS AN INTERVIEW AND NEGOTIATE SALARY LIKE A PRO.

    Candidates usually prepare generic, expected answers that a recruiter hears from almost every interviewee. Even most experienced professionals are surprised when they receive case study questions.

    Stop shaking before and after each interview like it's going to be your last chance. Take control of the conversation and be ready to answer by knowing the reasons behind questions and creating strong scripts in advance.

  • After Employment Counselling

    Having difficulties at work? Explain your situation to a career coach and get professional guidance.

Successful stories of our clients

"Indeed, a crisis is sometimes an opportunity. I had a paradox. People are losing their jobs, but I found one. I was invited to a position that I had been thinking about for a long time, thanks to the present situation with quarantine. Although I do not have much experience in this particular area, therefore I was afraid for a very long time and considered myself not ready. The usually clumsy hierarchical decision-making system surprised me this time. Within a week I had an interview and signed a contract - Manager of online learning, and since Monday I have been working directly with the Vice President. Thank you, for your service! Although I partially listened to it and rarely did the assignments, those few modules (resume and interviews) and your posts and tips helped me a lot. The value you give is much more than you think."
After getting promoted:
"Just wanted to share: I was promoted to Director of our university's Center for Teaching Excellence as of this Monday.Thank you again for the tips on workplace communication.I am now finally convinced that the most important skill is proper communication (all kinds). I can only hone it because there is no limit to perfection."

Aigerim Shilibekova, Director of the Centre for Quality in Education, PhD

Vancouver, BC, Canada

"I'm very thankful that I met a career coach while building my career in Canada.
It's not easy to look for a job as a recent graduate in the competitive field of HR.
I went through two Adapt West products. The career planning program is as packed as possible with the information I need when looking for a job. The service is not about writing a resume (although that module is there too). The service is about finding a job that matches your life goals. Not to be fired after 3 months, and enjoy every day, even if you are immigrant with little experience and education. It is also very helpful that the career coach is always in touch and helps sort out any career question. By the end of the service, I figured out my niche and how to get into it right. And I often get compliments on my resume after the service from my recruitment netminder.
I was also able to have a 1:1 coaching session with a career coach. The communication process was very comfortable. The request was related to barriers in self-presentation and self-worth to the employer. The career coach listened and heard the right things in my story and guided my reasoning in the right direction with questions. At the end of the session, we set specific SMART goals to solve the problem. This helped loosen the inner barrier and worries and move on to action.
Thank you for what you do!"

Never give up! Even if you are running out of faith!Almost a year ago, I went to a career counselor. I moved to the US from Ukraine, lost a year because of the immigration process and had almost no experience, we started working on building my career path to construction!After we did the service (I am so much of an apprentice) we decided on the steps to of finding the job of my dreams!
I lost count of the number of resumes I had sent to all of the jobs I was looking for. Unsuccessful interviews ... Misery and apathy ... strange expression on men's faces at the interview, when they see a girl who wants to work in the field where 90% of them are men (it smells like discrimination)))
At some point I despaired ... but continued to pour out resumes, but without much enthusiasm.And one day I got a call with a couple of questions that I did not even take seriously and said that I would call tomorrow because I was driving, and it was not convenient to talk. After a phone conversation the next day I was invited to the site and asked if I could start on Monday (it was Thursday) of the service I could - I answered!
You're welcome! The project manager!
The place is huge, and we're not allowed to talk about it! But there are no limits to happiness!For this, I want to express my great gratitude to Adapt West! Who was always in touch, supported, gave advice and tolerated my suffering!Thank you!
Guys! Do not waste time! It is the most expensive resource! Turn to professionals who can give you qualified help!
Anyone who is looking for work, just moved or planning to – I recommend this service!"

Aleksandra Chacon, Project Manager in Construction

San Antonio, Texas, USA

I wanted to share my good news - I am now a Senior Marketing Manager!
It was a long road, almost 3 months, 4 interviews, business case, background check (even a criminal record check from Kazakhstan was requested), interviews with my direct supervisors from previous jobs. All the efforts were not in vain, and everything worked out.
I am very happy with the result, that I did not lose my seniority level and the company is a 100% match for many of my requirements: culture, industry, prospects, etc. I was very satisfied with the outcome: culture, industry, development prospects, benefits package, etc.
Thank you so much for your service for structuring everything, the material was familiar to me in general, but you had everything in one place, and you gave me a boost of discipline!

Mariya Savina, Senior Marketing Manager

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

A lot of useful information. I think it is a must for anyone who is looking for work. As for me, I found a job. Remote, like I wanted. But not perfect. I think this is still a transitional phase. Now I continue the search, but not very intensive: I'm waiting when the school will open and will not have much time to go home schooling. The main thing is that the service helped set goals and in general, finally decide on the values and desires.

Thank you!

Dallas, Texas, USA

Thanks to you I grew in my eyes as a professional in one month! I stopped depreciating and was able to remember and appreciate my professional experience!!! I gained confidence! And this is the most important thing for employment! The employer evaluates us by it!
I want to say that I am pleasantly surprised by the depth of analysis! And it is not just an analysis for the job search, but for building a career, based on an understanding of one's preferences and talents.
Thanks to the service I was able to identify 3 career groups in one of which I plan to develop.
Just Holland's test and vocational guidance helped me take into account my personality type and based on that to choose a position to find a job!
It was especially cool that we started testing positions for earnings right away, and seeing if earnings suited positions one step up, which helped me see the prospects or lack thereof and narrow down my choice of jobs. It turned out that I was able to think and look at far-reaching prospects, it is very important!

Olga Baimbatova, Marketing Specialist

Los Angeles, CA, USA

Thank you for your service! Again, it was one of my best investments! Everything they taught me came in handy when looking for a job: how to write a resume and cover letter, to whom and how to apply, preparing for interviews, LinkedIn, networking and most importantly: do not be afraid and act in an organized way, step by step according to detailed instructions! Result: my dream job (electrical engineer) in a great company with a good package! Bonus: I show up everyone who told me it would not work!

Natalia Filippenko, Engineer

Vancouver, BC, Canada

Karina has a wide international background in the trade. This was her first interview in the U.S., followed by her first offer. She now works for a well-known car company.

You helped me find a job with no local experience and with a lot of fears and complexes and not just found a job - I found a team that I never even dreamed of, like a family. For any emigrant, this is very important.
Thank you

Karina Gabit, Trade Strategist

Lutz, Florida, USA

Even though I won't be trying out the results of our work anytime soon (not looking for a job right now), you just can't imagine how much confidence this service has given me! I resisted moving to America for a long time, even from Canada, because I was sure that no one would want me there without local education and experience. And now I feel that all I have to do is get over my fear of job interviews - and I am ready to work.

Viktoria Korobkina, HR Specialist

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

The material is perfectly packaged. Each topic is presented very clearly, logically, with examples that are applicable in life. I would especially like to note your professional approach to everything - the content of the service, the participants, the feedback. I can confidently say that your recommendations on the processes and comments on the assignments clearly showed that you work through everything thoroughly with each student. That is invaluable.
Thanks again for the service.
