How an Employment Coach can help
Job searching isn’t just about sending out resumes—it’s about knowing where you fit and how to showcase your strengths. When you work with an EmployAbilities program and Employment Coach, they can help you with:
- Career Exploration: They will help you figure out what jobs match your skills and interests. They guide you through options and help you create a plan for applying for jobs that meet your needs, abilities and interestes.
- Resume and Cover Letter Support: Depending on the job position, some employers receive hundreds, even thousands, of applications. A career coach will ensure that your resume stands out by highlighting your abilities in the best way possible. Many online job board and application systems use AI tools to scan resumes and applications for keywords. You will receive help optimizing your resume to make it through those first rounds of the application process.
- Interview Preparation: Interviews can be nerve-wracking. An Employment Coach will help you practice answers to common interview questions, build confidence, and learn strategies to impress employers with your skills, interests and qualifications.
- Job Search Guidance: Don’t know where to start to find those dream jobs? We can connect you to job openings, share networking tips, and teach you how to apply for positions effectively.
- On-the-Job Support: Even after you land a job, EmployAbilities can provide short-term coaching to help you adjust and succeed.
