I read that E-Mail Coaching is included in most packages. What does that mean?
All Six-Month and Three-Month Career Transitioning and Advancement Programs include complimentary e-mail access to our coaches for support while they are seeing us (the current rate for e-mail/phone coaching is $150/30 minutes). For example, if you’re a Six-Month client and you see one of our coaches for a total of 12 sessions over six months (whether in person or by phone), you would have e-mail access for those months. This access is designed to support you with “quick feedback” between sessions.*
However, e-mail support is limited to specific questions. For example: “Do you know the name of a good recruiter in my field?”, “How do I determine a salary range for this position?”, “Do you have any contacts at ___company?”, “Can you recommend a book or resource to help me polish my image or improve my networking skills?” or “What social networking groups are most effective?”
If you have questions about more involved issues, you’ll want to use one of your scheduled sessions or schedule a 25 or 55 minute phone or e-mail coaching session with us for more in-depth feedback. For example: “How should I position myself for this job opportunity?” “What changes should I make to my resume?”, “What is the best way to approach setting up an informational interview?” or “I’m feeling stuck with my job search. What can I do to move forward?” or “What are some cost-effective ways to market my small business?” Details here on in-person / phone coaching sessions.
*Clients can expect to receive a response from us–during the workweek–within 24 hours on urgent issues and within 48 hours on non-urgent issues.
What Can I Expect When Working with Job Doctors International™?
By choosing to set aside dedicated time to realize your career and life dreams, you are investing in your future. The time that you spend with your Job Doctor is exclusively devoted to helping you explore, brainstorm, prospect, plan, strategize and take action toward your desired goal. We combine a coaching and a consulting methodology that is custom designed to help you by:
Diagnosing your unique situation to understand where you are and where you want to go.
Developing a customized Treatment Plan that matched who you are and where you want to go with the realities of today’s world with actionable steps to help you through the process. For some, that means being there for you when you decide to make a radical change, for others it means assisting you in reframing your perspective about your current work/life situation, for everyone it means helping you to become more competitive in the job market, for promotions, or to develop new clients.
Strategizing with you to help you with Prevention practices to reduce mis-steps and political mistakes that can side-rail (or worse) your career.
