Don’t just search for a job, attract employers.
The job search can be one of the most frustrating, stressful, and exhausting events in our lives, fraught with rejection, waiting, and silence… painful silence... as 98% of job seekers are disqualified during the resume screening. And we go through this process a lot, on average we change jobs every 4.4 years (millennials change almost every 2.5 years). In addition, the job search is slow, taking on average of 6 ½ months for professionals and 10.1 months if you’re at the executive level.
5 SIGNS YOU NEED A JOB SEARCH COACH
YOU'RE UNHAPPY: 70% of Americans are unhappy in their jobs. Whether it’s a negative company culture, a bad manager, or you just feel stuck in a job - sometimes the only move you have is to look for another position.
YOU'RE IN TRANSITION: When life changes so do our careers - from graduating to parenthood, moving cities to shifting economies. When you’re life role is changing often your job does too.
YOU'RE UNDER-EMPLOYED (OR UNEMPLOYED): If you don’t have a job (recently quit or let go) or you’re stuck at a dead end job- it’s time to get a job search consultant to navigate the economic complexities.
YOU'RE FROZEN WITH FEAR: Often the job search can be very intimidating, especially when the thought of rejection seems unbearable. Fear can stop us doing the crucial components of the search, including networking, interviewing, and applying.
YOU'RE FEELING LOST OR OVERWHELMED: It seems like everyday there is new technology, trends, and tools to use in your search - and everybody has a different opinion of what you should or should not do. All the advice and the endless information on the internet can make us not even know where to start.
It’s time to find a job that makes you happy. Take control of your job search. Reach your full potential.
An effective and efficient job search requires that we do more than make a resume and apply to a bunch of jobs online; it requires that we be strategic, courageous, and skilled. Job search coaching positions candidates to use their own strengths and resources to design an effective and efficient job hunt. Career coaching also allows clients to develop the tools and techniques to land a good job as soon as possible - so that you may confidently get back to work.
