Is a Job Search Coach for You?

If you are not getting the results you want, then the answer is a resounding YES. Or, if you are just getting started, have a lot of questions, and are unsure about the right path forward, then also YES.

An experienced job search coach is like a trusted guide who can help you overcome the many barriers that might prevent you from getting a great job, faster. These barriers are very individual, which is why it’s hard to find a boilerplate program that helps everyone.

An experienced coach can also help you avoid pitfalls like people who tell you to ALWAYS do this and NEVER do that. There are many exceptions to the rules, but you have to know which ones you can bend, and how.

An experienced coach can also help you to identify and communicate your transferable skills if you are switching careers or industries. It’s more of a challenge to make a pivot, but it’s possible.

Working with me can bring you clarity and confidence, making you much more successful. Many women struggle with confidence as they search for jobs, which impacts how they write resumes and how they interview. If you understand these barriers it is much easier to overcome them.

I have a warm, approachable style, and an action-oriented approach. You will NEVER feel judged.

Many women find that one or two appointments are all they need to jump-start their job search, but I offer discounts for a bundle of three sessions which is often the sweet spot for success. See below for options and pricing.  

I have a generous cancellation policy because I know that life happens. If you DO make an appointment you may cancel for any reason up until 12 hours before our meeting and get a full refund, and if you have to cancel at the last minute you may get a 50% refund.

I aim to get you the help you need as efficiently as possible. Sometimes you will get what you need in just one or two sessions if you are transitioning to a similar job. However, a bigger pivot is more complicated.

For many job seekers, accountability is a big obstacle. Regularly scheduled appointments can help you to stay on track, and get your “homework” done in between sessions.

If it makes sense to meet regularly for a while, we can discuss your specific situation.

If you have an outplacement or relocation career support lump sum available, please contact me and we can talk about your options.
