Down and dirty job search logo

Why is it so hard to find a good job?

Chances are, you have asked this very question. It seems like everyone around you is finding great positions, but your efforts just keep falling flat. Plagued with constant rejections from HR, ignored LinkedIn invitations to hiring managers, and a silent network, many well-qualified candidates struggle to land their dream job.

Fortunately, there is hope.

Are you ready to get dirty?

 

We take the guesswork out of the job search with clear action items, accountability, and expert guidance to keep you moving forward.

 

Real results. Real fast. No fluff!

Our program will help you:

  • Shave months off your job search.
  • Survive the HR screening process.
  • Tap into the hidden job market.
  • Network without being creepy, weird, or pushy.
  • Tweak your resume for any job in just 30 minutes.
  • Track down hiring managers and key decision-makers.
  • Ace the interview while identifying the red flags of a bad company culture.
  • Increase your income by learning real-world salary negotiation strategies that actually work.

Our most popular writing services are INCLUDED. 

 Yes, that's right – our Down & Dirty Job Search INCLUDES a new resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile for the same price. Already have a resume written by the Personal Touch Career Services? We will deduct the cost of the resume from your package (Group and Private coaching only; restrictions apply.)

Donna Shannon has been my coach since 2018. In that time, I got three promotions and doubled my salary. We are working on my next promotion now, which should triple it!

This has been one of the best decisions of my career. Personal Touch Career Services helped me with my resume, coaching services and interview prep. Both Donna and Latricia were great and worked with my schedule.

Working with Donna for career coaching was excellent. I felt, initially, it was expensive. And essentially, it was -- but also worth every penny. Very happy with how everything turned out.

I am convinced that the work and services that Personal Touch Career Services provided for me are a large part of the reason I found employment with a company and in a position that suits my needs and wants perfectly. Donna coached me in interviewing skills and even held a mock interview to practice for specific jobs. She was responsive all along the way to any email or phone questions I had about upcoming interviews and jobs, and within 3 weeks of hiring them on to help me, I was gainfully employed.

Mike H.

Donna and her team were with me each step of the way, offering guidance and support through what was at times a frustrating and often disheartening process, culminating in exactly the offer and opportunity that I wanted. From your guidance, expertise, humanity, and compassion through my moments of ups and downs, hiring you both [Donna Shannon and Dia Kline] as my partners through this process was the smartest damn thing I could’ve done.

PTCS literally SAVED ME! Starting this job search felt quite intimidating and overwhelming, yet getting connected to this team and working with the amazing Latricia Friend was the best thing to happen to me this year. Latricia is so personable and knowledgeable that a resume rewrite turned into a bonus interview coaching session and so much more. This team got me back on my feet, and I can't recommend them highly enough!!!!!
