Assisting Executives and Leaders in the Healthcare Industry
Developing Professional Resumes, LinkedIn Profiles and Networking & Interview Skills
Building Career Portraits
A professionally developed resume and an aligned online profile create the initial impression an employer or search consultant makes of a prospective candidate. A resume should be a presentation of your career synthesized on paper; NOT merely an inventory of the jobs you have had. It should be a portrait of your career telling a story of who you are as a leader and manager, how you have been successful, and highlighting your significant accomplishments. A professional and focused resume and e-profile will differentiate and distinguish your candidacy in employers’ eyes. Once your resume or online profile has “opened the door,” learning how to professionally present yourself in person in an interview setting will position you for success.
Julie DeSorgher Consulting can assist you in creating a customized, professional resume and on-line profile tailored to meet your needs and career goals and help you learn how to best present yourself in any interview setting.

Working with Julie DeSorgher Consulting
““My experience working with Julie was terrific. Julie was able to put into writing all of the very important things I have done in my career. The end result was an amazing resume. I received a number of compliments on my resume from recruiters. Julie was extremely easy to work with and very flexible to meeting during the hours which I was available. I would highly recommend working with Julie.””
““Working with Julie to craft a new resume was a valuable exercise in self-awareness. Her thoughtful questions helped me to see myself as others might see me.””
““After 20+ years in the healthcare industry my resume had become a cluttered mess; a ‘junk drawer’ full of titles, companies, dates, accomplishments, and interests. I had a lot of experience and a wide range of skills, so content wasn’t the issue. The problem was how to cut through all the years of work to present a thoughtful, organized resume that told my story. Thankfully Julie knew exactly what to do. A few emails and phone calls later my resume had been transformed. Now it’s neat, concise and well written. It helped me land a new job a few weeks after Julie had worked her magic.””
“When an opportunity arose that I couldn’t pass up and needed to act on quickly, I reached out to Julie for her assistance updating and enhancing me resume. Not only was my new resume excellent in terms of quality, but she worked with me to meet my tight deadline. Julie is very professional and will definitely help you land your next role!” ”
““I had been a Chief Information Officer for many years and my resume read like a listing of technical acronyms. Julie helped me appreciate that as a leader, my resume should be less technical and more focused on how I supported my organization in meeting its strategic goals through technology … it needed to be oriented to the people who would be interviewing and hiring me, not another IT geek.””
““Julie is a great listener and excellent interviewer. She asked me the right questions to fully understand my organization, my job, and my achievements. My resume now showcases my successes and accomplishments, and highlights how I strive to provide exceptional service to my customers.” ”
