Unlocking Your Potential with a Career Coach

How do you know you need a career coach?

• You don’t know the best way to move forward in your career

• Your resume and LinkedIn profile aren’t getting you noticed

• You’re struggling with confidence or interviewing

• You think you want to pivot but don’t know what to do next

• You’re having problems organizing your job search

Keep in mind:

Based on where you are in your search or career development process, decide if you need specific services, like:

• Personal branding

• Resume and LinkedIn profile updating

• Career pivot or industry change

• Interviewing strategy and preparation

• Interpersonal communication skills

• Role planning and organization

• Job search strategy

• Regaining confidence

• Meditation and focus counseling

Driving your decision:

Most coaches will meet briefly with you (for free) to determine if you can work well together. You’ll also want to evaluate:

• What special certifications, training, or other experience demonstrates the coach’s expertise?

• Do the coach’s perspective and approach align with your goals?

• What are you willing to pay to invest in your career?

• How much time can you commit to the process?

The bottom line:

Before hiring a career coach, be sure you’ve identified the services you will need. Career coaches have a broad range of approaches and specialties, but if you’re stuck or frustrated, an experienced, certified coach is an excellent investment.
