Laura Mcclernon

Hello LinkedIn World My name is Laura and I am a Career Coach & Trainer for career changers. I have had the privilege of assisting 450+ career switchers in their professional journeys. While helping them master the essentials, such as crafting impactful resumes and optimizing LinkedIn profiles, I also delve deeper into mindset and motivation. I firmly believe that a strong foundation in these areas is key to sustained career growth and fulfillment. Some of the most rewarding moments for me are seeing my students/clients stretch outside their comfort zone, try new strategies, and learn from their mistakes. Of course, there is always the reward in seeing them land that next job too. As a career switcher myself, I've led training initiatives for some pretty interesting groups ranging from the US military in the Middle East to mystery shoppers (yes, they really exist) in China. Each experience I've had along the way provided me with a chance to sharpen a skill and understand a new industry. When I’m not at work I am either out for a run, honing my negotiation skills as a parent, or unpacking from my last move. As a military spouse, I've moved 7x in 11 years which means I am just about as adaptable as they come. This also means that remote work has transformed my career. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Key Skills: resume review, resume writing, LinkedIn critiques, mock interviews, elevator pitch, training job seekers, program management, outcomes reporting, salary negotiation, networking, informational interviews, tech interviews, interviewing, veteran transition, mindset coaching, job placement, job search coaching Software That Powers What I Do: Monday.com, Asana, GradLeaders, Slack, TextExpander, ChatGPT
