Boutique Employability (BE) is a special type of employability.
In the same way, a niche market differs from a mass-market or a boutique differs from a department store, boutique employability differs from conventional approaches to employability.
What you do to get the BE:
You follow a sequence of E-D-G-E steps to outreach, connect, and match with the employer of YOUR choice.
The so-what:
Boutique Employability is for those who do not want to be just another job seeker.
Boutique Employability is for YOU if you want to take ownership of crafting YOUR edge
—
the edge that reflects your multidimensional core and differentiates you from everybody else

How the BE Differentiates You From Other Candidates:
Whom the BE Fits Best?
My passion comes from working with Millennials, veterans, and accomplished professionals who have found themselves at the “What’s next?” stage of their professional lives.
If you find yourself in any of these groups, the BE-EDGE method is for you.
Millennials as Graduates
Many of today’s graduating students are Millennials who, while often thought to be the best-educated generation, are also often perceived to be “unfit” for the traditional job market.
They are multi-taskers, tech-savvy, and interested in rapid career development. They want to make a difference. Their desire is to find or create their own unique space in the job market and be considered as design thinkers and problem solvers. If they don’t find such a space, they withdraw.
If this sounds like you, it may be time to make a proactive effort to change the game. While you are still a student, or if you can use the BE-EDGE method to craft YOUR space, choosing YOUR company, and shaping YOUR space in the market. Alumni organizations, student clubs, or school projects provide a logical platform for BE-EDGE.
