SmART Career Solutions for ALL motivated job seekers.
| Life coach | Career coach |
Hi. My name is Charlene Wright. Call me Char.
I am the Founder & Principal Career Coach at SmART Career Solutions.
SmART Career Solutions (SCS) was created to support ALL motivated job seekers. The ART in SmART highlights that SCS specializes in serving the unique needs of Artists, Creativepeneurs and Creative Professionals. Creativity is in everything we do – even job search
I understand career transitions because I have done many myself.
I understand Artists, Creative Professional & Creativepeneurs, because I am one – actually I’m ALL 3!
I use my creativity to my advantage & use proven, step-by-step career transition systems to manage the complex process.
Like a superpower, I am great at visualizing & interpreting peoples’ ideas or situations. Being able to see what is needed, I then focus on providing practical solutions that make sense.
Not unlike myself, I recognized that a significant number of professionals don’t fit into a traditional service model and that NOT ALL PROFESSIONALS wear a suit or would consider themselves an "average" job seeker.”
I take the perspective that we CAN self-manage our careers like a Creativepreneur – by taking initiate, by making imperfect actions, hustling and creating multiple, various avenues to generate income which in turn provides security & stability in this crazy, changing economy.
I call it a HYBRID approach.
SO MANY competent professionals HATE career transitions and JOB SEARCH and they HATE interviewing even MORE!
I KNOW that:
· discipline comes from remembering what we want
· that waiting to “feel like it” only slows us down
· confidence comes from action
Still an Artist, I also LOVE supporting motivated professionals find their career solutions and helping reduce their stress. You are NOT alone! I have a simple goal - make career transition, job search & interviewing SUCK LESS.
Your Career transition - go from "winging-it" to owning it!
NO SUPPORT? Get new ideas & feedback, Reduce stress & anxiety; Don't feel so alone
NO IDEA WHER & HOW TO START? Determine your STARTING POINT; Assess SKILLS & ATTRIBUTES; Set GOALs; Discover NEEDS
LACK PERSPECTIVE? DIG DEEP & check your BLIND SPOTS, OBSTACLES & Self-sabotaging BS
NO PLAN - Build a manageale step-by-step system with accountability
NEED TO LEARN JOB SEARCH? Understand most effective actions; Access the Hidden Job Market; Engage your network; Learn what to expect; KNOW what to do & NOT to do
NEED TO LEARN INTERVIEWING? Understand types, stages,
how to answer & develop questions, follow up; Link creative skills to offer; DESIGN hybrid career decisions; Beat out the competition
LACK EFFECTIVE MARKETING TOOLS? Demonstrate your professionalism with professional tools you are proud of AND get more opportunities
