Students & New Grads

Student Professional Launch Program™

(See below for a full description of program tools)

The Inspire Careers Student Professional Launch Program™ is designed to empower students and new graduates to develop the confidence, skills, and tools for a successful launch into the professional world. With a tight job market, fierce competition for coveted positions, and oppressive student loan debt looming, today’s students and new graduates can easily become overwhelmed with the challenges and choices ahead of them. This program helps to take the confusion out the career launch process and sets students and new graduates up for success.

An investment in a student or new graduate’s future is the gift that will lay the foundation for ongoing career accomplishment and satisfaction. According to a recent article from Forbes by Preston Cooper, 43% of recent college graduates are underemployed right out of college, and the majority remain so for many years after graduation. Poor career planning results in a lifetime of lower earning potential, greater job disengagement, and diminished job satisfaction. Set your student up for success with the Inspire Careers’ Student Professional Launch Program™. 

Prior to acceptance into this exclusive program the candidate will be interviewed and assessed for motivation, work ethic, and a level of maturity congruent with proactive strategy execution and acceptance of personal accountability for their own success. Candidates not meeting the criteria for participation in this program will still have the opportunity to secure a professional résumé, cover letter, and Linkedin profile content at a package rate. 

While most students and new graduates come to Inspire Careers via recommendations from their parents, we feel strongly that the ongoing work is exclusively between the young adult and the coach with ongoing committed support from their parents at home. Working one-on-one with a professional career coach instills responsibility and accountability and sets expectations for meaningful professional relationships in the workplace. Parental support of the student/new graduate and coach’s work together is a key driver of the participant’s program success. 

In addition to the service offerings below, all program levels include lifetime digital document storage in our secure database. We will retain documents created with us at no additional cost for future retrieval as the new graduate confidently works their way into the ranks of the rising professional.

THE INSPIRE PROGRAM: $2999

Inspire new hope and confidence in your unique abilities!

Professional Launch Program Welcome Kit – Inspire Careers welcomes you to its Student Professional Launch Program™ with practical tools and information to  set you up for success. 

Strengthsfinder 2.0 Assessment – Includes a one-on-one interpretation and application of results of the assessment to the following:

Branded Résumé Consultation and Development – Individual résumé consultation includes definition of job search targets and value proposition, branded summary heading, keyword optimization, and conversion to .pdf and .txt formats.

Cover Letter / E-Note Development – Development of a master cover letter, editable for use for numerous job posting responses. Cover letter will be similarly branded to match your new professional résumé and provide a compelling introduction to your brand. An E-Note is a more succinct and direct approach to a cover letter and suitable for electronic communications. Ask me if it is the right option for your needs.

Letterhead Stationery – Stationary branded to match your new professional résumé for use with cover letters, thank you notes, and letters of inquiry.

Professional Reference List Template – Template includes all necessary elements that employers will need to contact your professional references. Branded to accompany résumé and cover letter, it is ready for you to fill in the information once you have identified and confirmed your references.

Post-Interview Thank You Note Template – An effective thank you note following any and all interviews should be part of the comprehensive career campaign. You will receive a template to guide you in the creation of a powerful thank you note that will set you above the crowd and leave a positive impression on the interviewer.

Weekly Monday Motivation Email – Monday morning email contact and motivational quote to provide inspiration to kick off the week strong.

THE ILLUMINATE PROGRAM: $3999

Illuminate the path toward fulfillment of your goals!

All of the above, plus:

LinkedIn Profile – Profile content will be updated to complement your new professional résumé and include career-specific keyword optimization. Includes step-by-step guide to maximizing your experience on LinkedIn.

Interview Coaching – One-on-one, 1.0-hour interview coaching session reviewing the basics of a professional interview including best practice protocol and professional courtesy, dress for success recommendations, document preparation and the all-important “Elevator Pitch.” The most common interview questions will be reviewed and strategies provided to promote a successful interview and effective follow-up. Discussions of how to handle “the salary” question and digital footprint concerns will be included.

THE IGNITE PROGRAM: $4999

Ignite personal commitment, determination, and persistence in all that you do!

All of the above, plus:

1.0-Hour Job Search Strategy Coaching Session – Develop a comprehensive job search plan, including a customized approach to jumpstart and manage a successful job search campaign utilizing the tools outlined above.

Complementary Professional Networking Cards – Customized professional networking cards designed to increase brand visibility and leave a professional impression during networking and throughout the interviewing process.

1.0-Hour LinkedIn Tutorial – Step up the effectiveness of your new professional brand and LinkedIn profile with scheduling a LinkedIn tutorial. Following optimization of your LinkedIn profile, learn how to effectively leverage LinkedIn to maximize your professional visibility and networking capability. Review LinkedIn’s job search functionality, strategic connection identification, and creation of search alerts for jobs within your targeted industry or targeted companies. Includes discussion of whether or not posting your résumé and on LinkedIn should be part of your overall job search strategy. A critical element of this session is learning how to create an effective online presence to showcase your brand, demonstrate your value, and attract more meaningful attention with your job search efforts. 

Create a 30-60-90-Day New Job Success Plan – A 30-60-90-day new job plan is really a blueprint for business success by outlining goals and milestones for each stage during this critical onboarding period. Developing this written strategy as part of your interview preparation is a great way to stand out during an interview and give you a competitive advantage over other candidates that are either “winging it” or have not thought past the job offer to prepare to be successful in their new role.

Résumé Distribution Email Campaign – Begin circulating your new professional résumé and cover letter to the leading recruiters in your target geographical area. Learn strategies to engage the recruiters in follow up communication to enhance the effectiveness of your job search. 

Ongoing Email Support Throughout Job Search – Continue communicating with your coach via email to receive guidance and support as needed for an extra boost of confidence or encouragement until you launch the big job.

Professional Launch Program Graduation Gift – Upon completion of the Ignite! Student Professional Launch Program™ receive an exclusive “graduation” gift designed to recognize your achievement and inspire your continued success.
