The thought of networking strikes fear for some job seekers. The trick is doing it in a way that's do-able for you. Job search coaching helps you design a not-so-scary networking plan, then supports you as you experiment and refine your approach. You're in the driver seat. We can work on how/where to spend your efforts, refine your elevator pitch, and build your comfort and confidence.
Every resume needs to tell the right story for the right opportunity. This is especially important during career transition or an ambitious step-up. Your resume (and possibly a cover letter) will need to ensure a recruiter logically connects your past experience with your target job. Fortunately there are solid strategies that increase your odds. Let's work together!
Selling yourself in an interview is remarkably simple, but nailing it regardless of how good (or bad) the interviewer is takes practice. Interview coaching is the answer, preparation and practice make perfect. We'll prepare you with succinct, laser-focused answers to showcase your value and to handle the tricky subjects you dread with ease. Some examples are interviewing for a job that's a stretch, explaining gaps in your employment, or justifying your fit for an industry that's not on your resume. All part of your customized career coaching journey.
Too often, job search coaching ends after interview preparation. Once you nail your interview, keep working to close the deal! We will plan your best approach for appropriate post-interview follow-up with recruiters, hiring managers, and senior decision-makers. Keep the momentum going all the way to your start date!
When should I talk about compensation? Should I even bring it up? How should I state my expectations without ending the discussion? How can I keep the door open for continued negotiations if initial numbers aren't aligned? What other options can I explore with the employer to accomplish my objectives? For complex roles and offers, advising you on the the written terms and conditions of an offer is best done by legal counsel. Career coaching however can help you navigate and negotiate these conversations with your future employer.
If you're not currently working a full schedule, you have a great opportunity that most others don't: time! Broaden your skills in the interim to enhance your resume and your marketability. Together we'll generate ideas, set goals, find resources and I'll support you along the way.
Maybe all you need is a career coach to help you practice interviewing and provide you with feedback. Let's get you more prepared than you've ever been!
