LAPORTE OWNER OF A PDX CAREER

KWAN GOOD MORNING TO YOU BOTH.
WANT TO START WITH COULD YOU
SHARE YOUR STORY AND YOU KNOW
WHY YOU DECIDED TO LAUNCH THIS
PDX CAREER COACH.
ABSOLUTELY SO THANK YOU SO
TO BE HERE AND MY STORY IS
THAT I STARTED AS A PHOTO
PRODUCER WITH ADIDAS BUILD
INTO BEING AN INTERACTIVE
PRODUCER WITH INTEL AND THEN A
RECRUITER FOR THE 90 AND AFTER
LAUNCHED CAREER THIS WHICH IS
IT FOLLOWS SIMILAR TO TOM, SHE
IS A ONE FOR ONE MODEL WHERE
WITH EVERY PIECE SESSION I
DONATE A WORKSHOP, A GROUP
WORKSHOP FOR NONPROFITS LIKE
CENTRAL CITY CONCERN AND THE
REASON FOR ME WANTING TO GET
I TALKED TO COUNTLESS FRIENDS
COLLEAGUES THAT WERE VERY
FRUSTRATED WITH THE
APPLICATION AND INTERVIEW
PROCESS AND HAD A HARD TIME
FINDING AND SECURING WARNING
WORK. SO I WANTED TO HELP THEM
BE ABLE TO NAVIGATE THAT
WHAT I WAS TAKING A SMALL
BUSINESS CLASS OF MERCY CORPS,
I SAW A SIGN IN THE BREAK ROOM
THAT SAID. GIVE A PERSON A
FISH BEAT THEM FOR A DAY KEEPS
THEM TO FISH FOR A LIFETIME,
BUT THE POND NEEDS TO BE OPEN
TO EVERYBODY SO THAT'S THE
CATALYST BEHIND MY ONE FOR ONE
THAT'S AWESOME AND K WE
MENTIONED YOU'RE ONE OF THE
CLIENTS AND YOU ARE ONE OF
MANY PEOPLE WHO LOST THEIR JOB
DUE TO COVID SO WHERE WERE YOU
WORKING AND HOW DID END UP
CONNECTING THE PDX CAREER
COACH.
SO I WOULD BE A CRANE AT
AGENCY FOR AT T PHONE OPINIONS
WHEN I WAS LAID OFF MY COMPANY
ACTORS COMMISSIONED THIS IS IN
MY SECOND PACKAGE.
OH THAT'S NICE OKAY SO WHAT
WAS YOUR EXPERIENCE LIKE BEEN
WORKING WITH CHRISTINE.
I FELT LIKE I AM ONE WHICH
CHRISTINE GIVE ME THE COFFEE
WITH THE SHARE MY EXPERIENCE A
CLEAR PATH FROM A SURGE IN HOW
TO BUILD A STRONG RESUME AND
COVER USING LIKE THEM AND WE
OUT THAT WAY AS FUN TO KOREA
FOR A FORTUNE 500 COMPANY SHE
DID LOVE THE VIEW THAT 1000
BUCKS RESUMES IN 2000 PEOPLE
SAW SHE HAD DEEP UNDERSTANDING
ABOUT THE TENSION AND INTO THE
PROCESS AND MOST HOW DUMB I
HIDING MAGIC, THANKS. SO I'M
KRISTINE GUIDANCE WEDNESDAY,
AS YOUR HELP ME SICK AND I
NEED JOB, I LOVE BASLE IN
SEPTEMBER AND WHAT CHAINS.
OCTOBER AND THEN INTERVIEWED
IN NOVEMBER AND THEN HE SEEMED
OFFICES ARE IN DECEMBER. HE'S
PROBABLY SPENT SOME TIME IN
CONGRATULATIONS THAT'S GREAT.
AND YEAH I CAN BE SO HARD
ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD
TO LOOK FOR A JOB A WHILE I
DON'T I FEEL LIKE I WOULD BE
AT A LOSS SO YOU KNOW
CHRISTINE WHAT IS THAT.
THE SINGLE MOST EFFECTIVE
THING THAT SOMEONE CAN DO TO
SECURE A JOB WITH THEIR THE
TARGET COMPANY THE PLACE THEY
REALLY WANT TO WORK.
A SINGLE THAT PEOPLE CAN DO
IS TO FOCUS ON QUALITY OVER
QUANTITY WHEN APPLYING TO JOBS
BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE A
MISCONCEPTION THAT IF THEY
APPLY TO MORE JOBS, IT'S MORE
LIKELY THEY WILL RECEIVE AN
OPPORTUNITY BUT THAT'S NOT
TRUE. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
APPLY TO EACH JOB APPLICATION
OR POSTING. SO IT'S SO
IMPORTANT TO TAILOR YOUR
INFORMATION YOUR RESUME AND
COVER LETTER DIRECTLY TO THE
COMPANY WHY YOU LOVE THAT
COMPANY OR BRAND AND HOW
SOMEBODY INTERNALLY REFER YOU
FOR EVERY JOB YOU APPLY FOR TO
INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF
SECURING OK SO SO IT REALLY
HELPS TO HAVE SOMEONE YOU KNOW
AT THAT COMPANY THAT YOU WANT
TO BE US.
YES AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE
SOMEONE WITHIN THAT COMPANY I
PROVIDE TO SECURE THOSE TYPE
OF CONTACTS AND THTRICKED AS WELL.
YEAH, IT SOUNDS LIKE HIS
NEW YEAR'S GOING TO GET OFF TO
A GOOD START WANT TO THANK
BOTH OF YOU FOR JOINING US.
CHRIS CNN, PATRICK HOPE YOU
HAVE A GREAT DAY AND HAPPY NEW
YEAR CONGRATS ON THE JOB
PATRICK. YEAH, THANK YOU AND
OF COURSE IF YOU WANT TO
CONNECT WITH PDX CAREER COACH.
