Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing a career coach is an important decision, and you may have a few questions before getting started. Below you’ll find answers to the most common questions people ask me about career coaching.
-
As a career coach, I guide you through a collaborative process to help you get clear on your goals, identify your strengths, overcome obstacles, and move forward with confidence. Whether you're job searching, making a career change, or seeking more fulfillment in your work, I can help.
-
Absolutely. Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck or uncertain. I help you explore your values, interests, and skills through thoughtful questions and proven tools. Together, we’ll uncover a direction that feels right—and build a plan to get you there.
-
Yes! I’ll work with you to streamline your job search, strengthen your resume and LinkedIn profile, practice for interviews, and create a networking strategy that works. With a focused approach, you’ll save time and increase your chances of landing the right role.
-
Since I don’t control the employer side of the equation, I cannot offer any guarantees. I an promise that you will gain clarity, confidence, and practical tools to improve your changes of success. The results come from the actions you take and I will be your partner every step of the way.
-
A mentor typically offers advice based on their own career experience. As a coach, I take a different approach - I focus on you. I use structured tools, reflective questions, and actionable strategies to help you make decisions that are right for your life and goals.
-
If you're feeling stuck, lost, unmotivated, frustrated by your lack of job search success, or unsure about your next move - and you’re ready to actively work toward change - career coaching is a good fit. The best way to know for sure is to book a free consultation and experience it for yourself.
-
I customize each session to your goals. We might work on your resume or LinkedIn profile, prepare for interviews, discuss job search strategies, build networking skills, explore new career paths, or tackle mindset blocks. Every session ends with clear takeaways and next steps.
-
That depends on your goals. Some clients just need a session or two for a specific issue - like interview prep or resume review. Others choose to work with me over several weeks or months for deeper support and accountability. I offer flexible options so you can choose what fits you best.
-
Coaching is an investment in yourself and your future. The cost depends on the package or number of sessions you choose, but most clients say the clarity, opportunities, and confidence they gain far outweigh the investment. Many also find that coaching pays for itself in the form of new job offers, promotions, or salary increases.
-
I have experience working with clients across various industries and at different career stages.
-
Yes. As a veteran myself, I understand firsthand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with transitioning from military service into civilian careers. I know that the language, culture, and processes can feel very different—and sometimes overwhelming.
I can help you translate your military experience into language that resonates with employers, identify career paths that align with your skills and values, and build confidence as you step into your next chapter. Whether you’re preparing for your first civilian role or seeking advancement as a veteran professional, I can provide tailored guidance and support.
I’d love to talk to you and learn where you are at in your journey and how I can help.
