What help do you need?
First things first – understand your needs. What assistance are you requiring? What are your goals and what outcomes do you want to achieve from a coaching session. There may be a chance you do not know where you are going wrong in your job-searching journey. This then becomes a need in itself– a need to discover where your gaps are. So perhaps, in this scenario a coach who focuses on one area only may not be your best choice. You will need to look for someone who focuses on all or multiple areas of employment and career development training.
Once you know your goals and needs, list them out. Seeing it visually can help you build a clearer picture. For example:
Need:
To upgrade my resume and learn how to find the right roles for my career goals.
Desired Outcome:
To have a stronger more polished resume that will get me an increase in phone calls from hiring managers.
To have a better direction on where to find roles and how to effectively understand the job advertisement to see if it aligns with my skills and career goals.
To walk away from the coaching sessions more confident and see results from it.
To have a mentor for life, and comfortable to reconnect if I have any further questions after our sessions are complete.
