For most of us, the loss of a job conjures up the fear of immediate financial ruin, facing an employment transition with many more questions than answers. These emotional anxieties are with us 24/7 and need to be taken seriously, with a realistic and doable plan of action and the positive support from others.
For all the emotional wrong reasons it is all too easy to become isolated during the job search process, with loss of real-world objectivity and perspective. No one will be harder on us than we will. It’s how we are wired and have no boundaries on age or gender.
A “street-smart” career coach will have the experience, empathy, pragmatism, and network to become your partner, guide and mentor thereby making your transition shorter, easier and much more effective.
On balance, the higher the salary you are looking for, keep two things in mind, fewer are advertised and it takes longer than lower paying jobs. 5 to 8 months managing the process on your own would be a realistic timeframe. My clients on the other hand are accessing the “hidden” jobs and doing so in 3 to 4 months. For those looking for $100k salary that can equate to $16.6k in regained income which is significantly more than the fee charged by a good career coach.
I fully understand the short-term fear of spending money and making the decision to engage the services of a career coach should not be made lightly or without consideration and research. It can be a dynamic and rewarding investment in yourself, both for today and in your future. 80/85% of my clients are finding or creating new and rewarding employment opportunities through personal referrals or advocates, many accessing jobs not posted anywhere. No other alternative search process comes close.
Be gracious, kind, listen to your heart, follow your smile, seek competent help and your transition help and your transition will be shorter and more enjoyable.will be shorter and more enjoyable.
