Career Coaching can include any of the following:
Clarification of Objective
An important first step is to be clear about your objective. What type of work/career do you plan to pursue? What are your skills and interests? What do you enjoy doing most and excel in doing?
Assessments
Many people in career transition appreciate the information they can obtain from a career assessment. I am certified to administer and interpret both the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Strong Interest Inventory. The MBTI provides information about your personality and preferences as they pertain to work. The Strong results show where your interests cluster and suggests occupations that may be a good fit. Both are widely used and are reliable and valid instruments.
Job Search Strategies
Your coaching will include a thorough review of job search strategies, including networking, use of job boards, working with recruiters, making the most of your LinkedIn profile and utilizing job networking groups and professional organizations. While the process of a job search can feel daunting, let’s break it down into small, manageable and logical steps.
Interview Preparation
Let’s review commonly asked questions and then the questions you are likely to be asked according to your profession. Let’s prepare for “difficult” questions and discuss interview strategy so that you shine! Candidates who practice always come across as more polished and confident!
Negotiation Strategies
Do you know how to ask for the compensation you deserve? Let’s review your strategy! Many clients report that were offered more when they asked for it! Let’s prepare your script.
Resume Writing
Today’s resume needs to be customized for each job opportunity. As a Resume Writing Academy certified resume writer, I can craft a resume for you that will bring offers to interview. It will include your skills and accomplishments, a strong summary, and neat and attractive formatting. I know how to deal with challenging situations and have written resumes for college students on up to executives and for professionals from all sectors.
