Career Coaching - 90 Minutes

Service Description

You don’t know what you want to do next. You’re aimlessly searching LinkedIn, and every job feels like a job you can do, but you aren’t sure what you actually want to do. When family or friends try to help you narrow down your choices, their suggestions may be informed by what they’ve seen you do in the past or what’s the “easiest” career or job to move into — not necessarily what resonates with you. If you don’t know which career or job will bring you fulfillment, a coach can help you consider possibilities that might be a departure from your past experience or that you hadn’t considered. You aren’t sure how to make your resume substantive — and also simple. Resumes need to showcase the right skills and capabilities to do the job at the level being advertised.

Not all accomplishments, no matter how great, belong on a resume. A career coach can help you determine what experience is relevant to the job you’re applying for and simplify your resume and LinkedIn profile with one message that will position you to attract recruiters’ attention. You aren’t over your ex — job, that is. Maybe you have or had a job that made you angry, sad, or anxious, and you’re struggling to move on from that horrific experience. Too many people think the next job will make that negativity go away, but it’s not that simple. For example, after a successful, decade-long career, a colleague of mine made a few bad career moves, all ending with her departing multiple companies, not always by her choice. Her confidence in being able to make good career decisions was shattered. A career coach helped her move past those repeated unpleasant experiences and review her assumptions about herself, which were not only impacting her job search but also her daily motivation and family life. She’s now happily employed and regaining her confidence under an amazing manager. You’ve been interviewing but haven’t landed the job. If you tend not to move to the next round of interviews after the initial recruiter screen, you make it to the next round but don’t make it past the hiring manager, or you continually come in second place at the end of the hiring process, you may need help connecting your experience to each job. A career coach can help you answer tricky questions like, “You haven’t actually done [fill in the blank]
