See You at Staff Training in August? New Coaching Program to Help "Stuck" Job Seekers

So the school year has wound down, graduation has passed, and the halls are empty (well, except for those being used for Summer School.) For some of us, it’s time to rest on our laurels for a bit, before planning ramps up for the school year.

But for others, summer might be anything but relaxing. If you have the “graduation-and-no-job blues,” the “I’ve-gotta-get-out-of-this-place-it’s-killing-me itch,” or the “been-here-done-here-now-what?” mid-career crisis, then it’s high time you get moving with your job search, or grad school planning…or you’ll be looking in the mirror this August, seeing the reflection of your discontent staring back at you, and wondering…

“How did this happen? I’m supposed to be doing something great!
…And it’s not this.”

If you find yourself with the blues, the itch, or the mid-career crisis, maybe it’s time to get clear on your interests, evaluate your skills, and start planning for a fresh start this August. Summer represents a second wave of opportunities for job seekers in academia, because many who got a job in the first wave also left a job.

To help those who have found themselves in this position, I’m launching a new coaching program to help them get unstuck.

8 Weeks to August Coaching Program

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.

Features

• 2 individual coaching sessions in early June, to outline your goals for coaching, and to review your resume and cover letters, to make sure they are selling your unique skills and experience in ways that match the positions you are targeting. ($200 Value)
• 2 practice interviews-one via phone, the other via Skype, with feedback about areas for possible improvement. ($200 value)
• 2 additional individual coaching sessions during the program, which can be used for exploration, goal-setting, additional mock interviews, strategy sessions for specific applications, etc….Really, whatever you might need. ($200 value)
• E-mail coaching during the entire program- send short questions or requests to me on topics of your choosing.
• Online access to readings and activities that will help you focus your efforts on finding a position that will be a natural match for your interests, skills and abilities.
• Group discussion opportunities for all group members, for support and encouragement from other job seekers.
• The ability to have private online chats and discussions with me and with other group members about your search.

Benefits

• Increased clarity about your career goals, as a result of personalized feedback about your resume, cover letters, and job search strategy.
• A more focused plan for your job search, from opportunities to explore options, weed out ones that aren’t a good match, and concentrate on those more suited to your skills, experiences, and interests.
• A better understanding of potential obstacles to your success, including practical ones (like lack of training, or poor interviewing skills) and emotional ones, like anxiety, confusion, or poor self-esteem; with some personalized recommendations for skill-building, improved personal presentation, and building self-confidence.

What else do you need to know about the
“8 Weeks to August” Career Coaching Program?

I’ll give you some quick ideas, but you’ll need to go to the event page to get more specifics.

• The price point is incredibly good…a significant discount over my normal rates (since it is a hybrid program, with individual and group components, the number of registrants will allow me to do this.)
• The number of registrants for this program will be extremely limited, because I want to be able to deliver all I promise, and more, to participants, and turn them into raving fans and the best kind of advertising money can’t buy…satisfied clients.
• I will be closing the program to new enrollments next Friday at 12 noon EST.
  
• Every participant will receive a copy of a great book on personal branding.
  
• If I reach my intended target size for this program, one of the participants is going to end up getting all the features and benefits mentioned above, and a significant prize, which will basically be like giving them all their money back. (That’s right–all of it!)

Do I have your interest now?

If you or a friend are “stuck,” and really need to move forward and make significant progress in your job search, wouldn’t it be great to get personal attention, customized resume/cover letter/interview assistance, the support of a certified coach and other job seekers in your field, and the opportunity to get all your money back?

I know that if I was looking for a position, it would interest me.
