What job seekers are saying:

“OurExperienceCounts.com showed me how I can expand the breadth of experience indicated on my resume and how to speak them in a way that strengthens my application. I would recommend OurExperienceCounts.com to professionals who, similar to me, are comfortable responding in an interview setting, but who are also looking to ensure their resume gets noticed by showing varied business situations and being able to respond succinctly to questions regarding them.”

From: Scott Sanders, Account Executive, Yreka, CA

“I thought I had a good resume, but I wasn’t getting any calls.  After taking OEC’s resume workshops, I realized that I needed mine to be more targeted, with a stronger focus on my career successes.  The workshops walked me through the steps I needed to identify and describe my successes succinctly and consistently – turning my resume into a more effective marketing tool.  Now that it’s written in a way that better showcases my talents and successes, I feel more confident in my job search. I would recommend OEC to anyone looking for a job since this organization provides information and training that would be useful to job seekers of all ages, and at every stage in their career.”

“The OurExperienceCounts.com Job Search Action Planning Kit is great because it provides the basic tools and information needed to begin the job search.  It answers the ‘where do I begin’ question that everyone has when first looking for a job.  I loved the planning checklist because it covered everything, including cell phone and haircutting tips!  And, I enjoyed reading the blogs.  The information on them reminded me that when a job loss occurs, we are not alone.”

From: Virginia (Ginger) Evans, President, Dynamic Training Corporation, Lansing, MI

“OurExperienceCounts is resource that has been a long time coming.   In my experience as an executive recruiter, and more recently as a search coach, it has been vividly clear to me that the experienced professional needs special resources and support to effectively pursue and claim the opportunities their talent deserves.  The job market respects skill and experience, but has difficulty looking beyond age to recognize it in people over forty.  But let’s face it, most experienced people have not pursued a job in a long time, and in most cases have never had to strategize around their age in a job search.  This is where Our Experience Counts really offers value.  OurExperienceCounts will allow the experienced job seeker to understand that he/she does offer an advantage over the less experienced candidate.  OEC provides a process that allows the experienced job seeker to plan and execute a search using proven techniques and strategies with all the training and support necessary to be successful.   Welcome OurExperienceCounts.  You have been a long time coming.

“Thanks to the OEC team for developing this important toolset. Your website will make a profound difference for many.  Not only is there value for over 40 job seekers, but candidates in their 20’s and 30’s can benefit as well.  If you are a professional looking at ‘what’s next’ in your career, I recommend you get started now and at the very least take 20 minutes and review the Get Ready tutorial.”
