It’s time for a change. You might not know what you want or whether it will fly. And you’re probably nervous about how to explain your experience if you want to do something new. All of those are great reasons to see a career coach.

How one job seeker used Flickr. Humor definitely helps!

Then there’s the added stress of a shifting economy. Demands have changed. Job seeking methods have changed. Online and offline networking have never been this critical.

It’s enough to make anyone’s head spin. That head-spinning-itis you’re having is pretty common these days. You’re not alone.

Having screened, interviewed, and hired hundreds of people, I know what employers look for. Yes, I hired people who were shifting careers. It happens all the time, if you know how to present yourself. I know what makes a candidate get the offer or get the cut.

Watching the want ads is not enough to get a serious job, especially today. First you need clarity on the amazing gifts you bring to the world. And then you have to get your name and skills out there in memorable and findable ways.

I have a gift for helping people discover their true calling and finding the overlap with what the world needs. Then I can guide you along the path to going for it.

You can do this. “Take the first step in faith.” (MLK)

How I Can Help

Our coaching time might include helping you with:

  • Clarifying your life purpose and goals.
  • Choosing where to focus your job search energy.
  • Deciding whether to go back to school.
  • Having more ease and success with networking.
  • Planning to use online tools for self-promotion, such as LinkedIn and YouTube.
  • Deciding if self-employment is for you.
  • Negotiating your salary.
  • Stepping into your new job with confidence and success.

How My Services Work

I offer a free initial call so we can see if we’re a good match. Most people begin with a Discovery Session and then decide about ongoing coaching after that.

I use a coaching structure which is the best way to make sure you not only reach your goals but that they’re the right goals. I want you to soar! And it’s possible. [details]

We’ll make it easy! Even if you’re an introverted 50-something who hates the Internet and needs a whole new career. Ha, that’s the perfect match for me.

Contact me.

What Career Coaching Is Not

If you’re looking for a quick fix and just want any job, please see a career counselor or job counselor instead.

If you need a resume writer, see a resume service instead.

If you want to go for something great, let’s talk.

For clarity, if you are needing a job to get by for now but still want to go for the bigger dreams, I can help with both.
