Omitola, i am happy to receive, to read your AMAZING reply. It is indeed, WONDERFUL and BEAUTIFU, the way you have laid your forward path, and it sure feels like you are on way to success. Best Wishes, Aummm...
OAK:
Thank you for your kind words, I truly appreciate them.
I'm excited about the opportunity to work with you. To get started, I'd like to conduct a comprehensive assessment of your career background so I can build a strategy based on facts rather than assumptions.
Please send me:
• Your current resume/CV (if available)
• Your LinkedIn profile link (if you have one)
• The types of executive or senior-level roles you're targeting
• The countries or regions where you're open to working
Once I receive these, I'll begin the market research and analysis, evaluate where your experience has the strongest competitive advantage, and prepare a tailored job acquisition strategy with clear recommendations before we move to the execution phase.
I look forward to helping you position your experience for the opportunities that best match your expertise.

YES, OKAY. You are welcome. Is there an email where I can send them to you more easily from my TRHALEMANE@GMAIL, which I have been using for such purposes, so it will be easier for me to work on it from there, Thank Yoy.
OAK:
To help me conduct a thorough market research and career analysis, please include:
• Your current CV/resume
• Your LinkedIn profile (if applicable) • A brief summary of the executive or senior-level roles you're targeting
• Any additional information you believe is relevant to your career goals
Once I receive your email, I'll begin the assessment and market analysis, then provide you with a strategic roadmap outlining where your background is most competitive and the best approach to pursuing those opportunities.
I look forward to receiving your email and getting started.

Thank you for sharing your LinkedIn profile. I'll review it carefully as part of my initial assessment, and I'll also send you a connection request on LinkedIn shortly so we can stay connected there.
I did notice that I haven't received your resume/CV yet.
Could you please email it to omitolaabd...@gmail.com when you have a chance? Having both your LinkedIn profile and resume will allow me to conduct a comprehensive market research and career analysis, compare your current positioning with today's executive hiring trends, and develop a tailored strategy to maximize your opportunities.
Once I have both, I'll begin the assessment and keep you updated on the next steps. I look forward to working with you.
Me:
resumes, i just emailed.
OAK:
Dr. Halemane, after reviewing your resume and LinkedIn profile, I'm confident I can help reposition your profile for today's executive job market. The next phase involves a comprehensive market research analysis, executive positioning strategy, LinkedIn optimization, and a targeted job acquisition plan tailored to your background.
My standard investment for this end-to-end service is $450. As a courtesy, I'd be happy to offer it to you for $400.
If you're happy to proceed, I'll begin the full market analysis and strategic implementation immediately.
Me:
Countries = I am flexible, Citizen of the World, we can say, all God's children, in God's Earth, let us say. However, since born in India, I have India Passport, and I have Permanent Resident Visa green card in USA, having come on student visa in 1974, and for various reasons I have remained like that, although settled in New Jersey. Our two sons, born in USA, are citizens here. My wife is also from India, came on student spouse visa in 1976 after our wedding there, continued her education here, on her independent student visa later, received green card with me as spouse, and in 2000s applied for and received US Citizenship. I chose not to apply in 1988 when I was first qualified to do so after being on green card for 5 years, and continued like that, various happenings later did not inspire me towards changing that stance. so, that is how it is now.
Me:
From my point of view, passport and visa have remained as travel and residence documents
OAK:
Edited
Thank you for explaining that, Dr. Halemane. I appreciate the additional context regarding your work authorization and your flexibility. That broadens the scope of opportunities I can evaluate during the market research.
I also wanted to make sure you had a chance to see my previous message regarding the investment. The complete executive career strategy including the comprehensive market research analysis, executive positioning, LinkedIn optimization, and targeted job acquisition plan, is $400 (reduced from my standard fee of $450).
If you're comfortable with that investment, I'll begin the full analysis and implementation immediately. Please let me know your thoughts, and I'll be happy to get started.

Omitola, while I have confidence in your abilities, I am less willing to spend moey or invest in job hunting efforts. However, you are free to give the info to potential opportunities for me, and if something is found, we can pay your fee from my first paycheck, or use a percentage type commission also, or you can think of something like that. Sorry that I am not inclined towards upfront paying job search fees these days. It is not a reflection on you. or your approach or your potential. It is just me. I apologize. All the Best.

Dr. Halemane, thank you for your honesty, and I truly appreciate your confidence in me.
I understand your hesitation about paying the full amount upfront. Here's a compromise I'd be happy to offer.
To begin the project, I'd ask for $200 upfront. This covers the initial market research, executive career analysis, and the premium resources I'll use to identify and evaluate the best opportunities for your background.
The remaining $200 can then be paid after you secure a position, as you suggested. I believe this approach shares the commitment between us while allowing me to dedicate the time and resources needed to give your search the attention it deserves.
If that sounds fair to you, I'm ready to get started right away.

Although it is fair, and you need to be paid for your time and efforts, to make a living, and to go forward, I fully understand that, It is just that I am in a sort of view, where I think that things have to happen in a better way for me, given all the happenings in the past. I am showing availability, flexibility, co-operation, openness. If that is insufficient, Well, that's the way it is, and, we just wait longer with patience, perseverance, positive outlook. For me, it makes me happier, at this point, than displaying any kind of aggressiveness or push towards it, for example, by money, influences etc. I know it is much more laid back, quiet type, some may even call it like a "womanly approach" or perhaps even a "shy timid man's guaranteed-to-be-ineffective type approach", not like the "sure aggressively confident let-ma-do-it mainstream society around us type approach". But, fortunately or unfortunately, I am just being true to myself, which is important for me.
OAK:
Dr. Halemane, thank you for being so open with me. I completely understand and respect your perspective, and I agree that fairness is important for both of us.
My standard investment for this service is $400. By offering $200 upfront and the remaining $200 after you secure a position, I'm already sharing the commitment with you. If I were to work with no upfront investment at all, I would be taking on the entire financial risk, which unfortunately isn't sustainable for my business.
To demonstrate my commitment and give you peace of mind, I'm happy to provide a written agreement. I'll deliver your comprehensive market research analysis, executive positioning strategy, and strategic action plan within 7 business days of receiving the upfront payment. If I fail to deliver those agreed-upon deliverables within that timeframe, I'll refund your $200 in full.
This way, we're both protected, and we move forward on a fair and balanced foundation. If you're comfortable with that arrangement,

Thank You for your guarantees etc, which offer additional trust and assurance factors. But for me, it is not about you directly since you are not the employer, you are offering your services, and, I am not doubting that, I have confidence in your abilities to deliver your promises. It is about the nature and agenda of prevailing power structure forces over which neither I or you have any direct control or influence, while they can influence us and everyone around the world in various ways, by hook or by crook, pressures, manipulations, every possible way, hidden and invisible also, while we both have to navigate our survival and progress within the system as it exists, although it is changing now, transforming, often rapidly also.
OAK:
Dr. Halemane, thank you for sharing your thoughts so openly. I understand that your concern isn't about my abilities, it's about investing before seeing any outcome, and I respect that.
Perhaps there's a middle ground that honors both of our positions.
What would you feel comfortable investing today to allow me to begin working on your case? My goal isn't simply to sell you a service; it's to build a professional relationship based on mutual trust and commitment. If we can agree on a starting point that feels fair to both of us, I'm happy to structure the remainder of the engagement around clear milestones.
I'd genuinely like to help you, and I'm confident I can add value. Let's see if we can find a solution that works for both of us.

i accept that you genuinely would like to help me, and it is possible, and is very VERY simple also. PLEASE TELL YOUR FRIENDS, that's it, nothing more, really simple. ps= Although in severe shock and great stress, we have faced the challenges and moved forward crossing the barriers biases impediments etc that came before us, it was tough, not easy, for my wife and sons and the others also I brought up my two sons Kaviraj and Shilpi as future presidents of usa, with that attitude/ outlook/ mindset, supporting and encouraging the leadership nature already in them. They are born in usa, grew up in usa and consider themselves as Americans. The country, the people and the whole world including India where we parents are originally from will need their leadership and contributions to go forward towards better future vision in true spirit of America. It is the nature of truth, nature of nature, nature of humanity.

Omitola, Thank Youfor your understanding and support. In case I am not clear enough, let me also say that being true to myself is also the way for me to go forward surely, cofidently, self-assuredly. So, it is very VERY important for me. And, years ago, back in 1970s when we were in Rochester, NY I think, my wife had mentioned, at some point that she wants to be herself, that is true to herself, I guess. I have no problems with that, and I respect her decisions or actions or behaviors in that regard, and try to eliminate any misunderstandings about where it may come from, like whether it is or what is intrinsic to her, or what may be the result of external factors like family, friends, social environment around us etc. Similar attitudes I try to portray to others around me, children, family, friends etc, allow them to be themselves, avoid them feeling unnecessary pressures from me or because of me etc, and then I do not have yto worry about our relationships. (!!!),
OAK:
Dr. Halemane, thank you for sharing that with me. I genuinely respect your commitment to being true to yourself and allowing those around you the same freedom. I believe authenticity is an important foundation for any professional relationship, and I appreciate your openness throughout our conversations.
In that same spirit, I'd like us to move forward in a way that respects both your values and mine. I'm committed to giving your case the time, research, and strategic attention it deserves, and I believe the arrangement we discussed strikes a fair balance for both of us.
If you feel comfortable proceeding with the $200 upfront investment, I'll begin the comprehensive market research, executive positioning strategy, and targeted job acquisition plan immediately. From there, we'll work together toward positioning you for the strongest opportunities available.
Please let me know if you're ready to get started. I'd be delighted to work with you.

Omitola, Although I agree with your spirit for helping, and your arguments regarding fairness, guarantees for your services etc, I will not be doing it. Sorry, I am not able to help you here. My limitations, of course. Do Well. All the Best. Good Luck. Be Brave. Be Wise. Take Care. Best Wishes, Aummm...
