(3.2) What Salary Are You Worth?

July 27, 2015 by Career Change Coach

Do you know how much you’re worth to employers?   Or, how do you know how much you should expect in a job offer? 

This is especially difficult for candidates to assess when one is entering a new field, making a career change, moving to a new location, or entering the workforce as a recent graduate. It’s also a question you should have an answer to before accepting a job offer.

In order to negotiate a competitive salary, you need to know what the industry standard is for that job and that location.

(3.1) Online Background Research

July 27, 2015 by Career Change Coach

Research employers is one of the simplest ways to become a stand-out candidate during the hiring process.

By putting on your detective hat and investigating potential employers, you’ll discover details about the employer that will better prepare you for an interview.

If you’re probably wondering, “Why should I spend time researching employers?” First, company research is the best way to learn about what the company does and what they look for in a candidate. You’ll also be better prepared to answer questions and position yourself as the best candidate.

Here are my favorite online resources you can use to gather the information you need to stand out in your next interview…

(8.2) Job Evaluation Checklist

July 27, 2015 by Career Change Coach

There’s a big difference between choosing the best job and selling yourself to the highest bidder.

When you receive an offer, your response to the employer /recruiter should be enthusiastic and professional. However, you don’t need to answer immediately. If you feel this is a good opportunity, you may ask for a day or two before giving your final decision.  Here are some key points to consider:

Coaching Services and Products Overview

July 6, 2015 by Career Change Coach

Over the past 10+ years of working with thousands of clients, I have created a series of high-quality and affordable coaching products and services to help my clients make their career transition faster and easier.

These include:

  • Preparing an effective resume and cover letter that pique interest and win interviews
  • Preparing a LinkedIn profile that gets found by HR and recruiters
  • Using job search strategies that can get interviews as fast as one to two weeks
  • Interview preparation and strategies to convert interviews into exciting job offers

My services and products differ from most other career coaches in two important ways:

(1) Fairness: I do not require clients to purchase a one-price, all-inclusive coaching package. I believe coaching packages offered by many career coaches are unfair because (1) most people will never use all of the services included in the package and (2) the fees for top coaches very expensive (typically $2,000 to $5,000 for a complete A to Z package of coaching services).

Instead, I offer my clients what feels to me like a very fair model – my clients choose only the coaching time and products they want from me.

(2) Affordable Services AND Products: Many coaches sell expensive coaching services but they do not also offer affordable, high quality products.

Other coaches offer coaching products (though few are high quality – I know, I’ve spent thousands of dollars checking them out), but they do not offer affordable coaching to answer questions that you have as you use their products. So you’re left hanging.

I offer both – high-quality products at affordable prices AND affordable Quick Question coaching options to answer any questions you have as you implement those product strategies in your job search / transition. It’s a powerful and extremely effective combination.

Here’s an overview of the supplemental coaching services and products I offer by category: resume preparation, LinkedIn creation, job search, and interviewing.

Some people don’t think they have many (or any) achievements.

Others don’t know how to word their achievements the right way on their resume to pique the interest of HR, recruiters and hiring managers.
