Early Career Launch professionals help students and young adults be successful in their first several career moves — from internships to landing their “first job” and through early career changes.

About Us 

Mary Bloomer founded Early Career Launch in 2010, drawing upon her experiences working in the Career Development office at the Yale School of Management and after a long career in investment banking. Our clients come to us with wide ranging experiences, academic backgrounds, and levels of understanding and focus on their career goals.  We guide and prepare them to find opportunities suited to their talents, skills and interests. 

Career Advisory Services:

​

We begin our work together with a new client with a complimentary 30 minute phone conversation.  During this conversation, we will talk about your past work and academic experiences, your skills and interests, and your career objectives going forward. Our clients come to us with wide ranging experiences, academic backgrounds, and levels of understanding and focus as to their career goals and the opportunities suited to their interests. 

Many clients are at the beginning stages of exploring possible career paths and come to us to build an understanding of varied industries and roles, develop a comprehensive search process and market themselves most effectively.  Others are very focused on a particular path and work with us on how to most effectively obtain an offer in targeted roles.  Because of our varied clients, our work with each is highly tailored to best meet individual needs.

Services Include: 

​

• Work related skills and interests assessments

• Career exploration, research, and targeting

• Structuring an achievable step by step job/internship search plan

• Impactful resumes, cover letters, LinkedIn presence, correspondence, and other 

      marketing materials

• Sourcing and identifying specific job/internship opportunities

• Networking skills and tactics

• Interview preparation, including extensive mock interviews

• Offer assessment and negotiation

​

Landing a great job or internship requires effectiveness in each of these. While time spent with each client in these areas varies depending on their needs, we dedicate our efforts to ensuring every client has the knowledge and skills to achieve success in their job search.
