How to work
successfully with a Career Coach:
-
Be
willing to invest in yourself.
-
Be
centered and ready for work.
-
Complete action steps you agreed to take
-
Be
open-minded, willing to try new approaches
-
Be
willing to experiment, to change beliefs and patterns which no
longer serve you
-
Allow time for the process to work
Coaching is not: therapy, fixing people, telling you what to do,
or making decisions for you
April has helped so many people land their
perfect job:
“I am extremely glad to report that I have
landed! I started my new job as Quality Manager today. It was a 100%
networking effort - I got a call out of the blue one day from a networking
contact because he heard his company was possibly looking for someone like
me. The position was not totally defined or advertised. I had a six-hour
interview day last Wednesday and then the offer came two days later!
I really appreciate the time you spent with me in our
advisor session. The suggestions you made and the tips you gave me in
networking proved to be very valuable. I will be recommending to anyone I
know that is in transition. Thanks again!”
- David Geist,
“I will begin my new position of
Executive/Administrative Assistant at Abbott on August 10. I'm not
looking forward to the 20-mile drive each way, but other than that
everything else sounds exciting!! It's been a long five and a half months
for me, but I'm hopeful that the worst is behind me. Keep spreading the
inspiration!” - Livia Baran
“April provides career coaching to the unemployed. It was in this
capacity that I first met April to help me get centered, set up a network
of contacts, and begin working to find my next opportunity. She was very
helpful at getting me started with specifics and I found new perspectives,
encouragement and always an accountability for my actions. Through her
assistance I was able to address several areas where I needed to work and
improve my approach, and I was able to find a new job through this help.
Thank you very much, April!” August 18, 2009
April’s top qualities:
