Do it yourself, or hire a coach?

Doing it yourselfUsually enough whenA coach earns the fee when
Interviews3 to 6 hours of practice out loud per interview process. Callings can prepare you for each job you track.Early rounds in a format you know.Final rounds, panels, a new kind of role, or you tend to freeze.

Times are our estimates. Try Callings.

Questions to ask before hiring

  1. What does it cost in total, and what is included? (no published price)
  2. Who do you usually work with, and how long does a typical engagement last? (always worth asking)

Their website promises results: "Our services are 100% guaranteed or your money back!". No coach can guarantee a job, interviews or a placement rate. Be careful with anyone who does, and with promises of a "hidden job market" or exclusive recruiter access.
