Why Would Anyone Use a Career Coach?

You have a unique set of gifts and passions. And if you're like most people, you'd love to find a job in which you used those gifts and passions in a rewarding, meaningful way.

But here's a key point: finding such a job is probably not one of your natural gifts. Finding and winning a job, you see, is a skill set quite different from performing at a job. That's why theatre schools offer entire courses on auditioning. They know there's a world of difference between getting the job and doing the job.

Getting the right job, at the right time, is one of the most important steps of your career. And yet it's a step you may be leaving to "fate" or to your own limited skills. As a result, you may be missing life-changing opportunities.

A skilled career coach can not only help you recognize your true gifts and where they add value in the world, he can help you master the art of connecting those gifts to a real job. The fact is, if we could see ourselves with perfect objectivity, we wouldn't need coaching. But we can't. We need trained eyes to help us maximize our gifts. We need real-time feedback to reveal our limitations and blind spots.

Did you know that when NBA superstar Lebron James was young, he wanted to play football, not basketball? It took the trained eyes of a coach to spot his basketball potential and help him develop it to its current superhuman levels.

Like Lebron, you may not have a totally clear picture of what your true gifts are and where they best "plug in." Or perhaps you know exactly what you want to do, but don't know how to score the right opportunity.

Why would you? It's not your natural talent.

For career coaches, job hunting is our talent. It is our skill set. It's all we do.

We help you find the work you are designed to do. We help you identify your passions, values, talents, and purpose, and find fresh ways to leverage these in today's job market.

We help you land interviews. We help you fill your job hunt with proven, productive activities that will shorten your search. We teach a method of networking that will increase your number of introductions and contacts, on average, by eightfold!

We help you ace interviews. We teach you the three main types of questions you'll be asked in interviews and help you craft powerful, winning responses.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Finding the right job can transform your life. Shouldn't you have an expert coach on your side?
