Malcolm O. Munro - The "Career Fitness" Coach

Looking for Your Dream Job? Help has Arrived!

I normally don't advertise on my blog, but I just had to share!

Unemployed, Under-Employed, or Unhappily Employed?… 

"You can get off the dead-end road of your current career or job and find meaningful work that will have you looking forward to Mondays!"

Discover how to identify your ideal career or job and gain new skills and tools to go out and land it!

Dear Friend, 

• Do you toss and turn every Sunday night dreading your current job or career?

• Does Monday begin the long, slow countdown to Friday and the promise of a weekend respite from your pain? 

• Are you living “vacation to vacation?”

• Do you envy others who love their jobs and find great satisfaction in them?

I did.  My name is Malcolm O. Munro, the Career Fitness Coach, and after 15 years of military service as both a dental assistant and I.T. manager, two jobs I hated, I knew there had to be something better. Don't get me wrong, I loved the Navy and serving my country, but  I promised myself my second career would have me looking forward to Fridays AND Mondays.  My journey took me through years of working in HR departments, learning how the hiring process worked, and more recently into a career in training and development where I now teach and coach clients through career transition and personal and professional development.

Let me tell you, if your career is lacking, you’re not alone.  Many people find themselves stuck in jobs or careers that are boring, stressful, or simply waste their real talents.  Fortunately, you don’t have to live like this.    In Marketing Yourself for Your Dream Job: How to Get the Job and Career You’ve Always Wanted, I’ll give you the formula for identifying your dream job or career and the tools to land it.

I coach and teach hundreds of career seekers individually and in workshops each year.  Listen to what they say after working with me: 

Tammy G. from Clarksburg, MD came to me after wrestling with her current job situation, wondering if she should make the leap to a new position.  She did!  Here's what she said:

"I no longer suffer from having two Mondays in my work week! I can’t thank you enough for what your skill, insight and ability to encourage others has done for me. I not only acquired a new job but I learned more about myself than I could have ever imagined.”

Or how about Annie R. from Hamilton, VA?  Annie was laid off from her position 2 months before the Christmas holidays and was struggling with a strategy to get rehired.  After working with me, Annie was able to land a great position and is now happier than ever!  Here's what she says:

“Malcolm provided me with tremendous help for job interviews, salary negotiations, and an overall positive philosophy towards my job search.  The simplicity of his teaching was without a doubt helpful during that time of despair and confusion.”

I also do many workshops each year for folks in career transition.  Here's what attendees have to say:

"Thank you so much for the time you dedicated to us this week.  You made me feel less intimidated by the prospect of leaving my comfort zone and venturing out into the vast unknown." Tom H. Columbia, MD

"I have to first thank you for everything you put out this week. You are truly an inspiring person/job coach. I find myself using the skills you taught all of us already." Chris T. Leesville, LA

"The class was great. Mission accomplished: you inspired AND informed! I think I speak for everyone in the class when I say I was very impressed with you and your presentation of the myriad of information. My head's still spinning, but in a very good way." Manny S. Colorado Springs, CO

I know what I'm talking about and my clients can vouch for it.  Now I want to be your coach and help you through this important process!

Just because your parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents suffered through unhappy careers, doesn’t mean you have to. Work doesn’t have to be “work.”  

Why not rediscover your dreams and take charge of your career?  I’ll show you how to figure out what job and career field is the best fit for you.  You’ll then learn how combine preparation and practice into a one-two punch that will land you interviews and win you the job. for just $25.00, you’ll approach the process with a newfound confidence and have the tools to gain full control of your work life.

I, and now lots of my clients, have dream jobs and careers. 

There’s one out there for you too. Let me show you how to get it!

Sincerely, 

Malcolm O. Munro The Career Fitness Coach
