Top Canadian career strategist. Empowers senior executives to secure roles faster. Trusted advisor to leaders navigating high-stakes career transitions. 17X Award-Winning Resume Writer | 11X Certified Canadian Strategist

What's the value of hiring a career professional?


I’ve been answering this question for 20+ years.

If we were to look at it strictly through a financial lens, this would be my answer.

But career professionals are so much more than résumé writers and career coaches.

We’re sounding boards and advisors.
We’re educators and trusted resources.
We’re a lighthouse in a stormy sea.

For executives, the stakes are high and isolation real.

When market shifts test your confidence, we help you steady the ship.

When the search feels endless, we remind you of the value only you can bring.

When strategy and self-doubt collide, we help you cut through the noise and move with clarity.

Landing the right role drives your next chapter.

Having the right guide ensures you step into it with purpose and momentum.

𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗴𝗼 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲.

Leaders rarely pause. Yet some of the clearest insights come when we do. 

This weekend, I hosted a small, invite-only yoga and career development retreat at the cottage. It was an opportunity to integrate my new yoga certification with years of experience guiding executives through career transitions. 

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆.

Together, we slowed down, reflected and created space for clarity and connection, highlighting that purpose and perspective often emerge from stillness. 

I’m deeply grateful for their presence and openness. 

Bringing this idea to life, uniting personal growth and professional expertise, was both humbling and energizing. 

This experience reaffirmed something I’ve seen time and again: the best strategies, decisions and growth come when leaders allow themselves to pause and reflect.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁 - Maybe your next chapter doesn’t start with action, but with a strategic pause for reflection.

Hi, I'm Maureen. I help senior leaders navigate career transitions with clarity and purpose.

I create spaces where busy professionals can reconnect with the insights that fuel growth, confidence and inspired action.

Are you serving alphabet soup in your job search?

Before you pitch your next role, ask yourself:

Am I solving the employer's problem… or listing everything I’ve got?

🔥 Hot tip:

𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓻𝔂 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓻 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗿 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿. 

It weighs down meaningful conversations with potential employers.

Employers aren't looking for someone to solve 𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓻𝔂 problem.

Employer are looking for someone to solve  their 𝓼𝓹𝓮𝓬𝓲𝓯𝓲𝓬 problem.

Picture this:

An employer clearly states, 
“We need help with A, B, and C.”

You respond:
“I’ve solved XYZ problems, handled UVW issues, and occasionally tackled LMN. One time I even dabbled in OPQ…working in various industries with multiple stakeholders.”

𝗬𝗼𝘂'𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱 and, as a result, lost the employer's interest and engagement. 

Even when you lead the conversation with “I’ve solved A, B, and C,” but then can’t stop yourself from adding "and DEF, GHI..." and the rest of the alphabet, you’re losing your audience. 

Why? 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲. 

Yes, you can touch on one or two other skills, but only once you've nailed A, B, and C, you've got the employer on the hook - engaged. And that’s what leads to getting hired.

The takeaway:

🛑 Stop serving alphabet soup.

✅ Start serving a custom menu of what the employer ordered.

Let’s edit your story and talk about how to sharpen your message.

Interview season is here and landing the call is only the first step. 

How you prepare can make all the difference between a “maybe” and a “you’re hired.”

I’ve put together 4 practical tips to help you walk into your next interview confident, focused, and ready to impress. 

Whether you’re stepping into a leadership role or exploring a new field, these strategies will help you stand out for all the right reasons.

Job search using strategy + AI

A strong resume does more than open doors; it reminds you of everything you’ve accomplished.

It validates your achievements, builds confidence and helps you understand the value you bring to the table.

Every project, every problem solved, every small win tells the story of how you’ve evolved as a professional.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗲. 
𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆. 

Pause for a moment today and ask yourself:
✨ What did I learn this week?
✨ How did I stretch my skills or sharpen my thinking?

Capture that first. The resume will follow.

Your career story is being written every day. Don’t miss the chapters happening right now.

The benefits of a complete resume

Career clarity doesn’t stop at retirement.

When the structure of a decades-long career fades, the questions often get bigger:

 → What now?
 → Who am I without the title?
 → What do I want to do with this time?

The answers don’t usually come overnight—or from a colour-coded plan. They come with patience, curiosity, and a willingness to explore what truly inspires and excites you.

Whether you’re in your 30s, 50s, or beyond, clarity about what gives you purpose, meaning, and energy matters more than ever.

If you’re in a season of transition, remember: it’s not about rushing into the next thing, but about giving yourself space to discover what truly serves you best.

How to Prepare for a Job Loss

This message arrived in my Inbox on Friday:

"With the current state of affairs in government, I'm doing some thinking about career changes in case I need to pivot. What services do you offer to help me prepare to lose my job and start a pivot in my mid-40's? What do I do next?"

It’s a smart, brave question.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲. 

Because when job loss happens, even if you think you're ready, chances are, when it unfolds, something about the communication will take you by surprise. 

From the day it takes place to the way it happens, whether it affects you, your colleagues, or your boss, when a layoff or firing occurs, even when you see it coming, there will be something about it that catches you off guard. 

If you’re in the public sector (or any sector facing uncertainty), start exploring:

✅ Which industries need what you offer
✅ Where your skills are in demand
✅ How the labour market is shifting and where

And here’s a step many people overlook:

🔒 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲. 

Performance reviews, key metrics, stats on wins; anything that proves your value. Too many people share stories of being walked out the door of their organizations with no access to their files. Don’t let that happen to you.

Need next steps?

I’ve rounded up resources to guide your thinking:

🔗 8 Things to Consider Before You Leave Your Job

Rather than waiting for the “perfect” job to appear.

Imagine how it would feel to have your 

🎯 materials
🎯 messaging
🎯 and mindset 

ready when that "perfect role" appears.

CFOs, are you preparing for your next move?

Hi, I’m Maureen McCann, Executive Career Strategist at Promotion Career Solutions. For nearly 20 years, I’ve helped senior finance leaders like you navigate complex career changes with confidence and clarity.

Recruiters are there to open doors and introduce you to opportunities. My job is to ensure you’re fully prepared to walk through those doors with a clear, compelling message.

Here’s where many executives run into issues:

They underestimate the work involved in an effective job search campaign.
They struggle to communicate the value they bring to the table.

I often hear:

✔ “I know I’m qualified, but I’m not getting responses.”
✔ “My background isn’t traditional. People don’t understand what I can do.”

The shift begins when you start thinking of yourself as a business, not just an employee.
What does your business offer? What results can you show? What problems do you solve?
When we work together, we focus on:

• Identifying your most marketable financial and leadership skills
• Understanding the specific needs of your target companies
• Aligning your experience with measurable business results
• Creating a message that makes it easy for decision-makers to say yes

The bottom line: You need a message that lands with your target audience.

If you're ready to lead these conversations with clarity and purpose, let’s talk.

Thinking about career services | Promotion Career Solution

A smart career change isn’t random; it’s researched.

Before you chase “who’s hiring,”

get clear on who deserves your time.

In Canada’s tight talent market, where many companies are competing for experienced leadership, the best opportunities rarely appear on job boards.

Most senior roles are filled through 𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵, 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵, 𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴, not open postings.

That’s why I tell my clients:

🎯Don’t wait for the right role to appear.

🎯Identify the right organizations first.

🎯Build a Top 10 Company List where your values and vision align.

🎯Focus on fit, not convenience.

Strategy first. Job search second.

I wish more people considered career transition services 𝒷ℯ𝒻ℴ𝓇ℯ a career crisis. 

...that investing in career services is a proactive step towards growth. 

It’s taking control of your path. 

And that kind of foresight can change everything.

Job search is hard. 

Anyone who thinks otherwise hasn’t had to look for work in the last five years.

The good news is that if you start planning well before you need a job, you’ll be ready when you do. 

If you’ve ignored your resume, network, LinkedIn, key messaging, industry and professional development for 5+ years, you’ll need time to quickly get up to speed. 

That’s where I come in.
