A Full Month’s Career Support
$400+gst 2 x 1:1 career coaching sessions + weekly accountability check-in + unlimited email support
It′s true “Rome wasn′t built in a day” and the same goes for the process of finding a job. Unless you are very lucky to found employment immediately after your last position, it can be a time-consuming and stressful process. That is why My Job Mentor offers Monthly Ongoing Coaching for those who are serious about reaching their job goals sooner. Have an action planning coaching session upfront, then a weekly phone call and unlimited email access to ask questions at every step in the process.
A week can seem like a month, and waiting to hear back from jobs (or not!) definitely takes it toll. Actually, when experiencing a delay in finding employment, it’s common for clients to feel a little isolated and can experience a range of emotions from frustration and anger, to panic & discouragement, stress, anxiety or depression when they do not achieve success quickly. This can greatly impact how you go about your jobsearch (or give up altogether).
Our ongoing coaching service helps to keep you on track with encouragement and useful advice. We’ll be walking along side you all the way.

“I can certainly vouch for My Job Mentor’s wonderful service. Tara was so easy to work with and made the process fun and time-efficient. Thanks a million!” Alex Mitchel, Book Editor
