|
How many sessions does career counseling involve? |
| We tailor our counseling to whatever the client needs and so there is no set number of sessions involved. We average about 3-5 sessions with our clients and they can be spaced out in whatever time frame meets the clients needs. There is no obligation to continue with the counseling at any point. | |

|
What methods of payment do you accept for your services? |
| Our clients pay by cash, check or credit card at the end of each appointment. We will bill a third party if an employer or family member is paying for the counseling. | |

| No. | |

|
Is the testing done during the sessions? |
| No. Many of the tests we administer can actually be done at home. The testing is usually given to the client after the first appointment and mailed back to us so that it will be scored before the second appointment. Some of the tests must be administered in our office and we schedule this outside of a counseling session. | |

Do you give your clients information about specific jobs that are available or specific networking contacts? |
| We are careful that clients who come to The BrownMiller Group understand that we are neither an employment agency nor headhunters and thus do not provide placement as a part of our services. However since we have been doing career counseling in this community for many years, we do often have ideas of contacts who would be valuable to talk to or companies that it would be smart to consider. We are happy to share these ideas with you. | |

|
Do you write resumes for your clients? |
| We provide a great deal of resume assistance to clients. We will edit an existing draft or, if you do not currently have a resume, we will introduce you to the format that we believe works best for your career target and guide you through the process of writing the resume. However, we believe that it is important that our clients write their own resumes not only because of the value of going through this process but also so that you can put your own personal touch on it. | |
