Do it yourself, or hire a coach?

Doing it yourselfUsually enough whenA coach earns the fee when
Job searchA 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.
LeadershipPeer 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

  1. What does it cost in total, and what is included? (no published price)
  2. What are your cancellation and refund terms? (no refund terms on their site)
  3. Which body issued your credential, and can I check it there? (credential listed)
  4. Who do you usually work with, and how long does a typical engagement last? (always worth asking)

Their website promises results: "Our guarantee on agreed upon outcomes.". 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.
