________________

In this video, I’m talking about the topic of "how to hire and work with an executive career coach", "hiring a career coach", "working with a coach", "career coaching", "career counselling" if you're thinking about hiring one. When you think about wanting to make a career change, a life coach or career advisor will help you along this journey to your new career. If you're asking "do I need career counselling?", "should I hire a career coach?", "how to work with a career coach", I'm here to help.

Specifically, I give you 6 keys to consider that will help you while you’re searching for a career coach:

1. Will he/she “teach and guide” or will it be a “done for you” kind of deal?
2. Do they have a background in your field?
3. Are they specific or generic?
4. Do you have a good ‘sense’ of their abilities?
5. Are they luring you with ‘connections’ in the field?
6. Focused, strategic plan vs. open-ended and unclear?

These are great tips! Even as a career coach, this helps me think of how I package my services. Also, totally agree on the resume writing-I've never seen someone have a resume written by someone else that actually described their skills and experiences properly.

Good on you for posting this Linda. I am a new Career Coach in Australia and agree with your tips. Based on your video, i have no doubt your clients are in really good hands. thanks Andrew

A very rarely pushed back but I do want to push back on number four because a coach does not have to have a huge online presence for free lessons to be great at what they do. Some coaches are more focused on doing the work with people then they are recording videos. Some coaches are more interested in sitting with a person and then trying to figure out the technology of posting. I say that as a coach with an online presence!

[kristenzavo]

Great tips. I especially loved how you explained that "done for you" is not always the best choice - and it can actually be harmful.

*Hello Linda, thank you for another interesting video!*

[HiMyNameIsKim]

Love this video! One of the reasons I started my business is because I saw writers who didn’t understand the work in my industry. And it’s EXACTLY WHY I DONT DO RESUMES OUTSIDE OF MY NICHE. It’s a discussion if I ever do resume services.

I hit on all this with Public Health Hired! Career coaching exclusive to public health professionals! I shaped my coaching on GUIDING and TEACHING

You should definitely have someone write your resume however you should do it live either face to face or in a zoom.

Need Advice! I`m 44 years old. I graduated with a Business Degree and have a Masters in Education. I`m teaching for the last 17 years, but desperately want a career switch into a Business/IT Management/Healthcare/Supply Chain career. Is an MBA an option? Any advice is welcome! Thanks

I was about to say “respectfully” this info is outdated, my client feedback speaks otherwise. Then I realized the video is 4 years ago. 😃

[shizzle]

Very professional. Great video. I wish you were in Florida. I’d hire you immediately

[emmamacfarlane]

Even though I am looking to start my own business, this was still very helpful and applicable. I am looking for a career business coach and I took several notes from this video! Thank you!

[Fionaharrold]

Thank you for this fascinating video Linda. It is very helpful. God bless my friend.

[mentaltoughnesscentral]

Awesome tips! Will definitely watch out for more! Hope to collaborate soon! 😊

Hi Linda, I was wondering if you explain how to answer the "Why Do You Want To Work For Us?" and "Why Should We Hire You?" interview questions
