Why you need a Career Transition Coach
Being a Career Coach who is also an experienced, active Recruiter, I am especially well-equipped to help those who want to make an upward career transition and need to revamp their LinkedIn profile and/or their resume for a specific job search, and also those who need to enhance their personal brand across social media sites like LinkedIn to get noticed by recruiters and hiring managers. Remember: we live in a keyword-search world. You’ll never get noticed during a job search if your LinkedIn profile is lacking the right value proposition.

Frequently Asked Questions
There are several ways you can make the most out of working with a Career Coach:
- Identify your goals and areas to focus on with your coach
- Keep a journal so you can track your progress
- Be open to exploration and change
- Be prepared to be challenged
- Expect change
The goal of each working session is to make your LinkedIn profile stand out in a crowd. That’s how you get noticed, not by a resume. Those days are over. Most folks believe they will get a job new from having a great resume; hence, they seek out a resume writer. Sadly, resume writers are not equipped to know enough about your industry and how to showcase your achievements and outcomes. Even more importantly, they lack the know-how to get you noticed by hiring managers. That’s where a good career coach and recruiter come into play.
Each program typically consists of a series of one-on-one sessions that usually last 30 to 60 minutes each. At fairwindslogix, we don’t limit the amount of time per day, week, or month. Our time is dependent on your needs and we adjust as needed. During a job search how much time and how frequently you need to work with your coach changes during the initial assessment, job search, interview preparation, offer negotiation, etc.
Absolutely! The purpose of a consultation is so we can determine together if coaching can provide value to you. It is important to have a trusting relationship and good chemistry for success.
- Come with an open mind to position yourself for success
- Set appropriate expectations
- Open up and be honest with yourself
- Focus on your goals
- Make it a true partnership
- Set the right atmosphere
Our clients win more interviews, get higher base salaries and have a greater number of job opportunities to choose from for the jobs they want. You can learn about our pricing here. What price can you put on investing in your career?
Executive resume writer services can range from $300-3,000, depending on their process, how many years of experience that your resume writer or career coach has, how many hours are required for writing a resume, and your work history. Though a resume is important, a resume writer is just a one-time hit. A more effective tactic for your job search is working with a career coach over a period of time to:
- Tweak your LinkedIn Profile so you stand out to recruiters and potential employers
- Teach you interview preparation
- Help you practice with mock interviews
- Execute a tactical job search
- Help you with career planning
and more.
Prices increase with higher-level professional resume requests. The downside of outsourcing your resume to a writer is that you don’t go through the process of articulating your value-add with a professional that can provide guidance on how to showcase your achievements and outcomes. Working through the process with a Career Coach yields the best results.
