We're passionate about helping you get the most out of your career journey.

We diligently strive to understand your priorities, help you explore your career options, and build a practical action plan you can use to make progress in a new or better direction in your career.
We Provide Practical Career Exploration That Motivates.
Here's How:
1. The Best Outcome
Before we help you blaze a new trail, we'll help you identify where you are, your goals and any extra things you'd like to see on your new adventure. Your Career Exploration should have an overarching goal in mind that we can use to help you plan out your journey and achieve the best possible outcome.
Before we discover your purpose for the exploration, we'll help you take inventory of what you already have to work with to ensure we will be working together toward the best possible outcome for you. We'll dial in to the scope of your Career Exploration, your goals and any other professional elements that catch our eye to help you get the most out of your experience.
This is often the first step in discovering where you are on the way to where you want to go. When you choose to share your professional goals with us and to you choose to trust us with Career Exploration, we're all in. We do everything we can to help you achieve your goals. We want the best outcome for you.
2. Purposeful Discovery
Once we've come alongside to understand where you are, your goals and what you'd like to see in your career, we'll help brainstorm possibilities and evaluate your options. This intentional and driven approach is crafted in such a way to help you steer clear of distractions that lead to nowhere and to propel you toward purposeful career discoveries.
Your Career Exploration doesn't have to be cookie-cutter and it doesn't have to be sidelined by unreachable dreams. We are motivated by data, facts and a practical approach that can help you discover viable, beneficial and even exciting career options or opportunities you may not have considered or seen before.
3. Built to Last
All of our Career Exploration outcomes include personalized recommendations or suggested and viable actions you can choose to take right away (short-term goals) and at least one outlined strategy toward a positive long-term plan (long-term goals). In other words, we help you thoroughly explore your options and then help you pull together a personalized action plan that is built to last.
We aren't interested in reinforcing shaky dreams that are built on sand. We'll use a kind approach with practical materials to help you stay focus and motivated to build realistic outcomes, each with a solid foundation.
You can take the results of your Career Exploration with you as you move forward into the future.
4. Map the Path
We'll stick with you to help map the path you can take in your career that is most likely to lead to the accomplishment of your goals. Have an unusually unpredictable road ahead? No worries. We'll lean into the data to keep a grounded approach and help you think through a plan B or plan C, just in case.
To get to where you want to go? You've got to map a path to get there.
5. Grab Your Gear
After you have mapped your path, it's time to grab your gear and move forward. This is where you turn all the preparation and planning into action. We'll believe in you, help you explore your career options, formulate a plan with you and help you gear up but the rest is up to you.
Grab your personalized strategy and step forward into the future. We have total confidence in you.
6. Mobile Friendly
At Resume Gold, all Career Exploration is mobile, which means we can connect with you on the go to consider future career plans. We can propose real options for consideration and real tools for finding your next adventure.
Want to talk by phone rather than virtual conference? Sure, we can do that. Need another quick session worked in between meetings? No worries. Schedule a date and time and we'll be there.
I thought I was locked into my career field. Resume Gold found a way to help me see beyond the limitations of my industry and leverage my skills to get there. Thanks RG!

Our dedicated team of Career Exploration Specialists will use their epic career knowledge and experience to help you increase your professional opportunities and get the most out of your career.
What Are the Benefits of Career Exploration Services?
One of the biggest benefits of Career Exploration is that it provides a low-stakes environment for you to discover and evaluate your potential career opportunities. You don't have to tip off your boss, you don't have to vent to your coworkers, you don't have to rush out and change your major in school and none of your friends have to know that you are thinking about a career change.
Instead, you can relax and explore the career possibilities with a team of discrete, dedicated people who care about you (and your success).
Career Exploration does not require you to make a personal and life-changing decision before you are ready and it can equip you to discover the smartest, personalized professional decisions or career options for you.
Career Exploration can help you avoid an endless cycle of stressing out about where you are but not discovering what you can do about it.
It can also help you avoid overlooking or leaving some wonderful, new career options or opportunities on the table.
Career Exploration Services can benefit many humans, including both the employed individual and the active job searcher. College students, graduates, those entering the workforce after a prolonged hiatus, seasoned executives, entrepreneurs and the superhuman looking for another gig after their first retirement and more can all benefit from Career Exploration Services.
Explore Your Options
The right opportunity is out there. You just have to be willing to find it. Career Exploration is a great way to consider all your options in a low stakes environment with a team that you can trust. If it's not a smart move, we'll be the first to say so.

Also called job burnout, this kind of stress can result from toxic work environments, dysfunctional workplace dynamics that are beyond your control, work-life imbalance, social isolation, boredom, heavy workloads and more.
While not an official medical diagnosis, workplace burnout can be felt physically or emotionally. Some physical signs of this can include fatigue, insomnia or trouble sleeping, and excessive levels of stress that just don't seem to go away.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your career exploration will be managed by your own Career Exploration Specialist. They will be your primary contact at Resume Gold and will diligently organize any and all aspects of your Career Exploration, including any strategy formation, plans of action, recommendations or appointments to be made.
After they have listened to your goals, considered your unique situation and helped you draw up a plan of action or strategy for your success, they will have it reviewed internally by at least two different and confidential pairs of eyes to ensure maximum quality and success. We take our work very seriously and want your Career Exploration to be as practical and professional as possible.
Our Career Team has had professional success with hundreds of clients, including in-depth Career Exploration for those interested in (or already working in) diverse industries. Whether you are looking for a new job, a better job, or you just want to be considered for a promotion, we specialize in maximizing the opportunity of each individual career.
We look for any blind spots and eliminate any roads that lead to nowhere to help you make the most of your career journey. From new job seekers (like college graduates or those that have been on hiatus) or the most experienced among us (like executives and professionals with decades in), we've helped Career Exploration be as painless and practical as possible.
Depending on where you are in your career and where you want to go, the takeaways of your Career Exploration may take time to fully accomplish.
For your Career Exploration sessions, the depth and direction of your personalized career plan or strategy will depend on your unique situation and will, in general, flesh out fully within one to three sessions. Our Career Exploration specialist will help you identify how many sessions you will need before you begin.
Before and during your sessions, we look for ways to gain you real-world traction. We are skilled at finding creative solutions to complex scenarios or discovering opportunities that you may not have considered before.
As for the Career Exploration results, success depends heavily on what you choose to do. Some of our clients have used their personalized strategy to pivot their career in a new direction. Others have used it kickstart a new career or to motivate themselves to plan for significant long-term changes in their professional career.
The more you choose to use your Career Exploration results, the better chance you have to benefit from them. We will do our absolute best to help you succeed, but if you take your strategy, frame it and put it on the wall, results may vary.
Yes, if you come to your sessions with a parent or guardian that is over 18. (We'll need their consent in writing too.)
We're discrete but we're not about sneaking around, so keeping your wise sage (parent or guardian) in the loop will be a normal expectation for your dedicated Career Specialist. That said, we applaud you for your interest in Career Exploration. We believe that by exploring your options early, you give yourself a unique opportunity to strategize for your career success from the beginning and to go further professionally, that much faster.
Totally. We get it. Life can change fast.
We like to work fast too, so if for any reason you need to cancel your Career Exploration session, we just ask for notice within 24 hours of purchase to be eligible for a refund. We're not offended. In fact, we still believe in you and would be happy to wish you all the best on your next adventure.
If your Career Exploration is cancelled less than 7 days prior to your interview session, as our gift to you, we'll roll it over as a complimentary credit, giving you access to other RG services (of equivalent or equal value) at your convenience. This credit is nontransferable.
