Our mission is you.

At PTCS, we help people land jobs they love in half the time while earning up to 20% more in salary.

We focus on the practical tools that make an immediate and long-lasting effect on your career, from resumes to strategy development.  Our career coaching style is grounded in a tactical approach, covering topics such as dealing with the HR department, tracking down hiring managers, implementing structured networking, and acing the interviews.

Why is it so hard to find a job?

Chances are, you have asked this very question. It seems like everyone around you is finding great positions, but your efforts just keep falling flat. Plagued with constant rejections from HR, ignored LinkedIn invitations to hiring managers, and a silent network, far too many well-qualified candidates struggle to land their next job.

Fortunately, there is hope.

Are you:

  • Tired of being rejected by HR because your resume lacked the right keywords?
  • Stumped on how to drive recruiters to your LinkedIn profile?
  • Frustrated with scouring the job boards day-in and day-out?
  • Unsure of how to expand your network to find more opportunities?
  • Mystified on how to reach hiring managers and key decision-makers?
  • Discouraged by not converting interviews into job offers?
  • Missing out on additional salary because no one ever taught you how to negotiate?

We can help you overcome all these challenges PLUS ones you didn’t even know existed.

5 star review

Audrey M.

It has been 10 years since my last serious job search, and I was struggling to get my resume and applications past the ATS. I purchased the resume + LinkedIn package and a cover letter. Since I started using my new resume and cover letter, I have landed interviews at 5 different institutions.

I had a great time through this course. Donna makes her explanations so clear and with enthusiasm that makes you feel self-confident to deal with LinkedIn. This course is totally worthwhile, either if you're new at LinkedIn or have some experience and want to improve your profile.

I took part in Donna's Comprehensive Coaching Package, and I was very happy I did. I got insight into job searching that I was completely unaware of, not to mention a great new resume and LinkedIn profile. Plus, the support to keep me on track and tactics to do so once our sessions were completed. I highly recommend Donna and Personal Touch. 

The Personal Touch: It's more than just a name.
