Do it yourself, or hire a coach?
| Doing it yourself | Usually enough when | A coach earns the fee when | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Job search | A target list, a weekly plan and steady outreach. Callings builds the weekly plan and tracks every application, free. | Interviews are coming in. | Three months without traction, or a senior search that runs on your network. |
| Career direction | Weeks of reading and conversations about roles that fit. Callings can show your strengths and the pay for each role. | You already have two or three target roles. | You do not know what comes next, or you want structure and a formal assessment. |
| Leadership | Peer groups, feedback from your manager, reading. | You have a mentor who has done the job. | A first management role or a bigger team, often paid for by the employer. |
Times are our estimates. Try Callings.
Questions to ask before hiring
- If I land a job partway through, what happens to the sessions I have not used? (multi-session package)
- What are your cancellation and refund terms? (no refund terms on their site)
- Which body issued your credential, and can I check it there? (credential listed)
- Who do you usually work with, and how long does a typical engagement last? (always worth asking)
