Time Saved in Search Activities

With a career coach, job seekers are able to avoid many huge job search time-wasters like mass mailings, answering ads in the traditional way and, pursuing jobs that aren't really good career positions. Numerous people have commented that their coach helped them translate theory into practice; they had obtained popular job-search books but, after spending considerable time reading, were still having trouble implementing the ideas on their own. The time thus saved gets you to a job that much more quickly.

Faster Landing of New Positions

If you're unemployed, each week of job search costs you at least one week's unearned wages. Getting a new job even a few weeks sooner than you would through a solitary search can mean thousands of dollars to you. If you're employed but unhappy, and searching for a new opportunity the sooner you gain new employment, the sooner you're able to enjoy the new challenges, and to have the extra money the new higher-paying job probably will provide.

Salary Negotiations Coaching

Understanding negotiating techniques and applying them are two very different problems. Your old habits are quite powerful, so practice and advice from your coach in negotiating new compensation can make thousands of dollars' difference to you.

Job Satisfaction

After discovering the 'unique you' and learning and using the proven, best way to pursue jobs, you'll end up with the job offering better fit, satisfaction, growth, environment, and income. This is rare when doing a job search on your own. Who can put a price tag on such a benefit.

Better Jobs the Rest of your Life 

People don't stay in one job for long anymore. The odds are that you'll change jobs again, even if only within your present company. Once you've applied the time-proven career-coaching methods successfully, you'll have assimilated a career management system that will make your future job changes easier, smoother, faster and hence, more economical.

Projecting your Personality

Many people report that the clarity they gain about their personality, its integration into their skill set, the articulating of those on paper and the self-confidence generated thereby are alone worth the investment they make for coaching services. Putting the desirable aspect of your personality on paper can pay off during salary negotiations, too.

Motivation and Support

The continuing analysis, problem solving, encouragement when the chips are down, and especially the regular motivational nudging by coaches contribute to finding career positions much earlier than otherwise - and every week saves you money.

Profile Distribution

Professional coaches ensure that your career profile is sent out to 300 or more major local employers every month. This keeps you in front of people who count and brings you closer to job opportunities by very appreciative companies who, not having to pay a recruitment fee, look more favorably upon you as a candidate. This no-fee recruitment policy opens the door to the possibility of your coaching costs being paid by a grateful

company.

On The Job Follow-up

The relationship established with your career Coach often becomes a personal one. Most Coaches will happily help you from time-to-time on job related issues so that they assist you in achieving your long-range objectives. In fact, their Life-Time Assurance means they will be there in the future whenever you want them - an invaluable asset.

Summary

The best wrap-up of time and cost savings that stem from using coaching comes from what coaches often say themselves. "If I were to find myself unemployed for some reason, I would never consider beginning a job search without a Coach in my corner - it would be an almost impossible task otherwise."
