Your resume IS critical to standing out, but that's only taking a baby step towards finding a job successfully.
So many job seekers believe that if they just have a good resume that it will act as a magic bullet and get them interviews (and thus job offers).
As a Life, Business and Career Coach, I know that one of the hardest steps in the process is determining if it’ll actually be worth it for job seekers when it comes to career coaching, especially when not earning a paycheck.
It seems counterintuitive to spend money at the precise time when you need to be saving it. So, instead, you push forward on your own hoping things will work out, and get frustrated and drained if they don’t.
While working with a career coach may not be for everyone or for every search, if you’re struggling and have had no luck for months, you need to take action and get the professional help you need.
