What is eJobCoach?
While some people refer to us as career counselors
or career development mentors, we prefer the term "personal job coach"
because it's active and results-oriented. eJobCoach
is based on the principle that anyone involved in a stressful, highly-goal-oriented
task -- in this case, searching for and landing a job - needs assistance.

What are the benefits of eJobCoach?
The sad truth is that while many people have invested years
of training and experience in their field or profession, they are amateurs
when it comes to job searching.
Similar to a competitive athlete, having your own coach:
- Provides objectivity and accountability;
- Teaches you how to conduct an effective
job search;
- Keeps you focused and on the right track to a new job;
- Provides expert assistance with networking, even for
shy people;
- Teaches you how to tap into the "hidden" job
market;
- Shows you how to write Killer Resumes and Cover Letters;
- Helps you to be pro-active with Broadcast Letters;
- Provides interviewing tips, skills and techniques;
- Counsels you on working with recruiters and head hunters;
- Maximizes your salary negotiations; and much more…
How do I know if Job Coaching is right for me?
It
doesn't matter where you're located; if you're currently employed and
looking for a better position; if you've been laid off and need to find
a job as soon as possible; or if you're a person who's returning to the
workforce. It doesn't matter whether you're conducting a job search due
to being laid off or because you want to switch to a better position.
Whether your goals are short-term (find a job, build a killer resume)
or long-term (career development or changes), we can help you break into
the hidden job market and identify the right employment opportunities.
Unlike recruiters, search firms and headhunters, we teach you skills,
such as resume creation, and job search techniques that stay with you
for the rest of your career. And our personalized system treats each individual
uniquely and is structured to help people at all career levels, from entry-level
to executives and professionals.
What if I only need assistance with one area?
We'll help you with targeted tasks that are most important to you, such
as writing that Killer Resume or sharpening your interviewing skills.
Or, if you choose, we'll work with you on longer-term, life-changing,
strategic career planning. Our flexible system of working personally with
each client helps to identify and choose the area(s) you wish to concentrate
on. We don't offer a cookie-cutter, one-size-fits all type of assistance
or coaching. It's always customized to you and your needs. There is never
an obligation or long-range commitment.
A Short Cost-Justification
Because it's a relatively new profession, I have been
asked by many people to explain what a job coach is and how does it really
help those who participate in it. So I thought, in addition to all the
other material in this web-site, I'd explain in hard numbers how it's
economically justified.
If a coach charges $300 a month, and it takes three months to find a job,
the cost is obviously $900. If the coaching shortens the job search by
at least one month, and the job-seeker earns $45,000 a year or more, the
calculation looks like this:
1 months' salary = $3750
3 months of coaching at $300 = $900
$3750 - $900 = $2850 is the amount gained by the job-seeker
If the job-seeker earns more, the gain is even greater. And if the job
search is accelerated by more than a month, the savings will of course
be correspondingly higher. In the salary negotiations area, we've helped
people to get from $5000 to $20,000 more than they originally were offered,
which speaks for itself in terms of return on investment.
At $300 a month, by the way, to break even in this scenario, the job seeker
would have to earn only $10,800 annually!
