Myriam-Rose Kohn

Why should you work with me?

Myriam-Rose Kohn is a career strategist who helps successful mid-career and corporate executives to step into the job they have always dreamed of having.

She mentors and coaches her clients not only on landing domestic and international positions, but also on cultural adaptability and etiquette. She possesses an unmatched blend of career credentials, experience, and cross-cultural skills, and speaks five languages.

Myriam-Rose has found joy in a rewarding career that fits her unique interests and talents, and that’s exactly what she wants for her clients as well. A consummate professional who is devoted to honing her craft, Myriam-Rose quickly developed a reputation in the careers industry as the expert in international résumés.

Myriam-Rose wrote a monthly column for a business newspaper; authored Creating a Résumé for Foreign Markets and contributed to Five Tips for Writing CVs For Overseas Employers for Wall Street Journal’s CareerJournal.com. Her work is featured in more than 35 résumé and cover letter books, among which are Modernize Your Résumé and the Expert Résumé book series.

She is a frequently sought out speaker at numerous regional and national industry conferences on topics such as branding, employment, resume writing, interviewing techniques and salary negotiations. Myriam-Rose’s vibrant background even includes an assignment with the FBI on an international fraud case.

As the founder and president of JEDA Enterprises, now rebranded as Reimagine Your Career Now, Myriam-Rose gives back to the community by assisting women who have survived domestic abuse shelters to rebuild their lives and participates with the Sharp Dressed Man, an organization who provides men returning to work with suits, to help their clients ace their interviews.

The Journey

What Makes Me Different?

Where career transition is concerned, I had to make the journey myself so I understand the work it takes, but I also know that it can be accomplished. Throughout my years of coaching, I have found people to be afraid of switching to a different career (or become an entrepreneur) because they did not want to lose their paycheck. Letting go of a job may feel very scary because it means giving up a paycheck. With the pandemic, however, many people have lost their paycheck so, while it may seem disastrous, this is actually a cloud with a silver lining. Some of you may not even remember what you truly wanted to do with your life. Instead of doing what your parents and/or significant others wanted you to do, why not take this time to go in a different direction–the one in which you were meant to go. Work should be something you enjoy doing and getting paid for it along the way. You are not looking for a job, but your place in the world.
The benefits are multiple:

fewer headaches

lower blood pressure
happier environment which in turn makes you go home happier
makes the people around you happier
the quality of your life is greatly improved
A recent client, Joe, discovered that when he quit his job, he was much happier. His happiness spread to his family and his community. He told me the transformation he went through really changed his life.

Another client, Sue, who was let go of her administrative assistant’s position thought she would never get rehired because of her age. After career exploration work, we discovered she would make a great entrepreneur. Within a year she made more money she ever would have as an administrative assistant and she doesn’t have to work nine to five. She has the freedom to care for her family on her own terms and take time off if she so chooses.

I have your best interest at heart. As I mentioned above, the rug was pulled out from under me, too, so I possess a lot of empathy for people who need to make the same journey. I will hold your hand, so to speak, until you reach your destination. We can do this by phone and through Zoom meetings. My clients are not only in the United States, but throughout the world. Today’s technology allows us to work together regardless of where we are located.

“When Myriam-Rose Kohn helped Ricardo C. with his résumé at the National Society of Hispanic MBAs Career Conference, he not only received compliments on his résumé, he left with a new job after six months of searching without success.”

Sonia Roxas

“I just want to thank you for the beautiful and professional job you did. I do consider myself very fortunate because it is difficult to find such professionalism with a personal touch.”

Sonia Roxas

Robert Lee

“I ended up with several job offers in San Francisco and I took a position with Morgan Stanley Dean Witter…I should thank you. Your eloquent and targeted résumé got me through the door of a company that turns away many MBAs….You are a credit to your profession.”

Charles Brasch

“… I have just accepted a position as a Senior Systems Engineer with Lucent Technologies. Thank you so much for your fine efforts on my résumé – I am sure that this contributed to the overall success of my endeavor here with Lucent!”

Tracy Hurley

“I have worked with Myriam-Rose for over eight years. She has encouraged me to make advances in my career that I never thought possible. Her insight and professional experience helped me present my best “professional” self. Thanks to Myriam-Rose, I now have my dream job!”

Tom Kodiak

“Myriam: your résumé did the trick. I was laid off for 59 days and in the past couple of weeks, I had a few job offers. I took one job with a 23% raise in pay. The guy who hired me, and I’ll never tell him, sent me a dear John letter 6 months earlier for a similar job when I had sent him my previous résumé. I’m sure he doesn’t connect them. Your services were well worth it. Thank you again.”

Ginger Korljan

“I heard Myriam-Rose today speak at the NRWA conference on international resumes, and her wealth of knowledge, as well as her straightforward and often humorous presentation, made me want to hear more. She needs to write a comprehensive book on how to write resumes for people in other countries, as she is the expert and there is nothing else out there worth reading!”

Jeffrey Albert

“Myriam-Rose earns my highest recommendation. She is extremely adept at zeroing in on her client’s needs. In addition, she helps clients narrow down and articulate their goals. Myriam-Rose has a wealth of knowledge and experience that she uses for the sole benefit of her clients.”
