OUR PHILOSOPHY
Provide innovative, creative and highly impactful career development, career coaching and career marketing strategies.
CAREER DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT
Career development is a delicate and demanding task. It requires the coordination and integration of all key participants to obtain optimum results. The approach taken by Careers2000 is best described in that we become part of your career development efforts, an extension of your marketing strategy.
CAMPAIGN DEVELOPMENT
Career industry research, identify emerging careers, employment trends, workplace tactical planning and positioning, strategic networking, recruiters network facilitation, etc.
Social media campaign development – LinkedIn profile and video resume
Our approach in undertaking any career management assignment is to fully understand the needs of our client and design a compelling career campaign.
A resume and cover letter is your first step in clearly defining and communicating your personal brand message. We can help you build the brand of “you” – write the brand manifesto, a manifesto is your brand’s Magna Carta and Deceleration of Independence all rolled into one. It is the halftime locker room speech given by the coach.
PERSONAL BRAND DEVELOPMENT
Our approach in developing a successful personal brand involves a continual push-pull between being on-strategy and being creative. The process involves the following:
- Clearly define your overall aspirations
- Conduct research
- Determine your brand attributes
- Assess your current career state
- Create a game plan
Develop and execute brand by syncing and proactively managing all aspects of your skill set, ensuring that they continue to reinforce your brand attributes and market niche
Your personal brand is a description of yourself, your talents and what you offer—the qualities that make you uniquely distinguishable. Your brand helps to define how you position yourself in a highly competitive job marketplace and hiring managers will perceive you. It’s important. It’s your reputation. It’s worth your attention.
Personal branding is a critical step to a successful career. If you’ve been laid off, passed over for a promotion, unsuccessful in transitioning to a new role, company, or industry, or just want to boost your professional image, then I can help.
Our approach in building a powerful personal brand for our clients is to have a consistent message that is conveyed on paper and online. Our expertise is to create the promise message—if you deliver what you promise, good things happen.

I worked with Sam for my resume and LinkedIn profile! I received my resume, 4 days later I took it to an interview and got hired! The Hiring manager was so impressed with my resume, and that is all thanks to Sam! He is very professional, kind, and easy to talk with. Sam knows what he is doing and does it with finesse! Not only that he is stellar at what he does, but he is such an informative person who truly wants those he encounters to succeed! I am now a customer for life, and will hands down recommend him to anyone in need of this service! What I have gained from the experience overall has made up and surpassed what was spent!

I did an internet search and found Careers2000. From the very first phone call I made to Sam, I knew I should have contacted him months prior. When I first met with Sam, it was like a very relaxed job interview. He asked questions and asked me to explain my answers. Sam was able to find other skill sets and experience that I had not thought of. Sam presented me with an impressive resume, that I was proud of. I got two job offerings within a few weeks.
