Career
If you aren’t designing your career, who is?
Chances are you’ve spent more time designing your living room than you have designing your career. Yet you will spend more of your life in your workplace than you will spend in your living room.
Who is choosing the vision, the direction, the quality and the compensation for the time you spend at work? The economy and tough job market are not reasons to compromise your dreams. It’s time to take control of your career and be intentional about your path. It’s time to get clear, get to know your Self as a professional, and launch into the market with the support of a Career Design expert.
Career Design is a Jigsaw Solutions proprietary process that guides you in investigating your professional strengths, developing a professional vision and plan, and positioning you in the marketplace for optimal promotion and success.
Your investment in Career Design and coaching will pay off in shortened times to your next offer, a strengthened platform for negotiation, and personal criteria for choosing the positions and timelines that fit you best.

J. Clark M., Executive Director/Curator

From the Career Design Coach:
I became a career coach after hiring a career management firm when I struggled professionally after a series of relocations. When my coach asked me what I wanted to do, I quickly responded, “I want to do what you do.” She promptly hired me. For the next year I managed the Lexington office of the largest privately held career management firm in the US, and experienced first-hand the benefits of intentionally designing and managing your career.
I’ve used that experience and my background in branding and business development to create a comprehensive approach to designing and managing your career for optimal success and reward. The greatest benefit of my Career Design method is that you will come away with remarkable confidence in yourself as a professional. You owe it to yourself to take charge of your own career. You will thank yourself—just like I did.
