Higher Ed Career Coach Sean Cook delivers a brief introduction to his “8 Weeks to August” Career Coaching Program and his professional and personal motivations for offering it.

Registration for My “8 Weeks to August” program
closes today (Friday, June 10, 2010).

If you are still seeking a job in higher education,
you still have a chance to register at

http://events.constantcontact.com/register/event?oeidk=a07e2wtdf500738d4f4

I will not be extending the registration period past today (Friday). It will automatically close at midnight, or when the registration cap (20 participants) is reached.Why? Because I want to get started, and those who  have already registered probably would, too.

As mentioned in the video, please do not let financial concerns determine whether you join this program. If you want to be a part of this inaugural program, just sign up! If you can pay some part now, that’s cool. We’ll figure out the rest later. I’m also offering a money-back guarantee if the program doesn’t work for you, so the money part is neither here nor there to me. Let’s just make this an engaging, interactive, fun, informative and useful experience for all who participate. The rest will fall into place as it should.

So go ahead and register, and let’s get you back in the hunt, and on to a new job this fall!

The “8 weeks to August” program is geared toward job seekers who are determined to start something new this academic year.

The program will be a “hybrid” program…part individual coaching, and part on-line activities and support. It will also be significantly cheaper than a regular 1-on-1 coaching program, because I’m sensitive to the financial aspects of job-seeking in higher education.
