FAQ

Describe your coaching style.

My style centers on asking great questions. It's important to dig into your experience and get an understanding of both the “why” and the “where” of your career. I’m a believer that the best way to bring clarity to careers is through conversation.

Do you have a specialty?

I focus on the entire job search process and don't have a speciality in any one area.

How do you measure success with a client?

I measure success through activity in a job search. There is so much that goes into a successful job search. Yes, even luck. When you consider the fact that only 2% of applicants to an online position get called for an interview and that over 75% of jobs are still filled through referrals, the best measure of actual success is simply activity.

How do you support clients that don’t have a clear idea of what they want to do?

I help them to utilize their network to get 360 feedback from the people who know them best which helps bring clarity to their search.
