"when searching for another job it quickly became apparent how internally focused my resume was"

To decode it so other industries could better understand it, I was referred to Optional Thinking. They provided an unbiased opinion regarding the flow and layout of my resume, experience and skill set. We discussed the career change I wanted to pursue and they worked to translate my resume so all companies would better understand it.” -Tina, Minneapolis, MN
"they met with our team and helped us develop a strategy that fits for our specific field"
"As a therapist my primary focus and time is spent serving my clients, however as a business owner I can't ignore the marketing aspect of running a counseling office. Marketing is not taught in school, yet it is such a necessary part of being a therapist in private practice. As we were in search of marketing advice we were referred to the services of Optional Thinking. We explained our challenges and they met with our team and helped us develop a strategy that fits for our specific field, mental health counseling. We were able to discuss relevant scenarios with our target referral sources, networking at events and the importance of staying connected to those in the industry. It really helped us to better understand how to market to individuals and as a team practice." - Aubrey Hutchings, LMHC, Owner, Open Doors Counseling Center, Winter Park, FL
“gave me the confidence I needed to discuss my salary and benefits”
“I was thrilled to be offered a full time position at a company that I have been working for part-time. I am comfortable with the interviewing process, but struggle with the negotiation process. I contacted the group at Optional Thinking and discussed my concerns and they created a plan, strategized different scenarios and were there every step of the way. During my two week negotiations, I consulted with “my team” as they coached me and gave me the confidence I needed to discuss my salary and benefits. I am ecstatic with the outcome! Thanks Optional Thinking for providing the best advice and guidance. I could not have done this without you!" - Pam, Nashville, TN
“they enhanced my resume by helping to pull out and highlight my strengths”
“Having worked more than 15 years in the Information Technology (IT) industry, I’ve accumulated an extensive background in Computer Systems, Project Management and IT. The skill set that goes with this experience is technical and relies on abbreviations and often times unfamiliar terms. After sending out many resumes, I noticed I received fewer and fewer responses. In working with the team at Optional Thinking they enhanced my resume by helping to pull out and highlight my strengths. This resulted in employers being able to more efficiently identify the amount of employable experience I had to offer. - Jose Muniz, Orlando, FL
