Job Search Coach
CurrentChallenger, Gray & Christmas offers coaching in job search skills and strategy to employees who have lost their positions. We coach through individual contact and creating an individual relationship with each client. The coaching is much more than a one-time training session. Clients are encouraged to stay in touch with their coach throughout their program, keeping the coach aware of their progress and asking advice as their search develops. In addition, CGC provides in-depth printed and electronic resources for each client. Coaching starts with the basic job search tools such as resume preparation, developing an effective network and interviewing skills. The coaching process goes well beyond the mechanics of the job search, with extended discussions of the interests and concerns of both the job seeker and the potential employer. Successful coaching is based on establishing rapport with each client, understanding his or her situation and instilling confidence that the CGC program is the most effective way to find new employment.
