Covert Job Search–21st Century Hidden Job Change™
The best time to look for a new job is when you already have one. That job search is, by definition, a Covert Job Search, one kept hidden from your current employer. Unfortunately, managing the mechanics of Covert Job Search is often complex. Logistically, of course, phone calls are harder to make, interviews are harder to schedule, even submitting your resume is more difficult when doing so covertly is necessary. But Covert Job Search while employed is necessary because it leaves you in far greater control than looking for a job when unemployed. Let Intervyou show you how to Move Your Excellence, on your own terms–no one needs to know until you say so! Learn More…

In-Depth Job Interview Prep™
Intervyou™ provides guidance and preparation for specific interviews, focused on teaching you how to be a compelling candidate by ensuring a real exchange of information. Every interview should be a conversation, not a one-way Q & A. This is right now preparation for your next meeting with advice about the right answers to the questions you will likely hear and, more importantly, advice about the questions you should ask. The most compelling candidates convey their genuine interest and applicability for the role being discussed by asking the best questions.
What’s the difference between an interview with a recruiter and an interview with a hiring manager? How do you handle an interview for a specific role while conveying openness for other roles? How do you best shine in a “courtesy interview” so you’ll be remembered when there is the next real opportunity? What should you never ask, what should you always ask and when? Intervyou will help you navigate the process. Learn more…
Valyou Assessment™ What’s cool about you?
The Intervyou Valyou Assessment helps you define and communicate your excellence, succinctly and convincingly. Often when we think about our own value to others, familiarity breeds contempt. That is, we are often so caught up in what we do and how we do it that we lose sight of our true value to others and end up not communicating well what we do well. Intervyou can help you determine what you have that’s special and compelling and teach you how to sell this to others in your job search. Learn more…
Situational Assessment
Thorough analysis of all aspects of your current employment is vital to making the right decision about whether and when to consider beginning the process of job change. The Intervyou™ Situational Assessment encompasses all aspects of your current job: Commute, Physical location and immediate surroundings (cube, office, bullpen, etc..), Relationships with colleagues & coworkers, Direct Senior (Boss), Indirect Seniors (others senior to you who affect you, i.e., bosses’ boss), Privacy (or not), Tenure vs. responsibility and, last but definitely not least, compensation: MONEY (salary, benefits, bonus, commissions).
When you tear apart each of these aspects of your situation and truly decide which are most important to you, then and only then can you go about getting what you really want in your next step. Learn more…
Recruiter Utilization
For every business there are recruiters and they are often one of the very best ways to learn about the market for you and what you do. The best headhunters not only may be representing your next job but can provide invaluable advice about how to go about getting it. Unfortunately, ignorant or irresponsible headhunters can waste your time and even irreparably harm your reputation. How do you tell the difference? What are the most important things you should know about each and every recruiter you deal with? How can you make sure you’ll be remembered the next time a headhunter has something appropriate for you? Let Intervyou show you how to best use one of the best resources there is for job search–the recruiters who know where the jobs are! Learn more…
Services for Young People
Young people face one of the most challenging job markets in decades and are often terrifically unprepared for interacting with professionals as they seek the first steps in their careers. The current focus on virtual interaction (job boards, social networking, texting, im, etc.) often leaves out the real-world necessity of being a compelling person, in person. As an early career job seeker, do you know how to communicate well about yourself and your value? Do you know how to write a compelling email, leave a voicemail that will get a response, look and act appropriately in meetings with people who can give you that vital next step? Intervyou understands the combination of new ways and old ways that brings results and can give a young job seeker the edge needed in a terrifically competitive environment. Learn more…

Intervyou can show you how to use this sweeping capability to empower your job search. Learn more…
