Frequently Asked Questions (and answers)
-
How do I get started?Using my contact form, please submit a request to start working together. The more detail you are able to provide up front, the more impactful my services will be. For a la carte services, I will follow up to your request to gather any information I may need to complete the service. For hourly and package services, I will follow up to your request with a link to book an initial consultation.
-
What is career coaching?As a career coach, I provide each client with a personalized and tailored experience to align with their specific goals. Some of the areas I offer support in include: strengths identification, job transition planning, career mapping, networking, strategies for networking, interview preparation, and turning vague performance feedback into meaningful action items. My individualized approach is designed to meet you where you are at, while helping you get to where you want to go next.
-
Do you only write resumes? Can I hire you for other types of writing?While my path has led me to consulting and providing career-related services, my greatest passion and strength is writing. I am excited to continue providing freelance writing services to new and returning clients, regardless of the content.
-
What if I don't have any experience?The great news is that if you have lived life, you have experience-- nearly everyone has attended some amount of school, volunteered, or even mowed a neighbor's lawn. During the initial consultation, I will ask thoughtful questions to better understand your background and skills, which I will then use to craft a beautiful resume. A resume, when you really think about it, is a story. It is my job to ask the right questions, and help you tell that story, in the best way possible, to help you land a new opportunity.
-
How long does the career coaching process take?The time frame depends on your goals, your circumstances and what you are trying to accomplish. While I am able to draw on my expertise and provide most services with minimal prep time, I may, on occasion, need time to conduct research and ensure I am providing you with the best-possible service. The timeline and turnaround time for any service will be discussed up front, prior to payment.
-
What about confidentiality?As someone who deals with confidential, sensitive information every day, I am committed to the promise that your information is safe with me. While I do have a robust network that I enjoy leveraging to help out my clients, I will never share any of your personal information, nor store it, without your explicit consent and knowledge.
-
When is payment due?For Hourly and a la carte services, I accept payment once the agreed upon work has been completed. For package services, I accept a 25% deposit up front, followed by the remaining 75% once the work has been completed.
-
What payment methods are accepted?My preferred method of payment is Venmo. I am also able to accept payment via PayPal, Zelle, Apple Cash, Cash, or Check. I am not able to accept other forms of payment at this time.
-
Where do we meet? Where is your office located?I conduct all of my live consultations via Zoom, and all of my written correspondence via email. I am only connecting with clients virtually, from my home office, at this time.
-
What if I need to reschedule my appointment?Life happens-- trust me, I get it. While I can extend a reasonable amount of grace for the occasional reschedule, I do ask that you provide as much notice as possible-- ideally more than 24 hours.
-
I can't afford $50 an hour-- do you have any other budget-friendly options?I understand that the job market is tough and if you are seeking my services, you may be facing a challenging financial situation. While I am unable to offer my services for free, I have many budget-friendly options to provide assistance to you as you navigate your career journey, including downloadable templates and select a-la-carte services.
