Do it yourself, or hire a coach?
| Doing it yourself | Usually enough when | A coach earns the fee when | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interviews | 3 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. |
| 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. |
Times are our estimates. Try Callings.
