One common question career returners ask is whether to hire a resumé writer or a career coach. Is the investment worthwhile?
In this video, we explore the distinct roles of resumé writers and career coaches, helping you decide when to use each service.
Both professionals can significantly impact your job search, but they serve different purposes. Many job-seekers start with a resumé writer when they might actually need a career coach.
Before deciding, consider these questions:
1️⃣ Can I clearly articulate my strengths, skills, and experiences? (BRAND)
2️⃣ Do I know the specific role and industry I’m targeting, and who the hiring managers are? (AUDIENCE)
3️⃣ Can I effectively link my strengths, skills, and experiences to the job I’m aiming for?
If you answered “yes” to all three, you're ready to write your resumé. Crafting it yourself is often best, as only you can capture your unique voice. Use our Resumé Checklist and get started! ⭐www.preparetolaunchu.com/free...
However, if writing is a challenge, hiring a resumé writer is a good option. Just ensure you stay involved so the final product truly reflects you.
If you answered “no” to any of the questions, a career coach might be your best bet. A career coach helps you define your brand, identify your target audience, and connect the dots before you even start writing your resume.
A good career coach will:
1️⃣ Assist with resumé writing, editing, or provide guidance.
2️⃣ Help craft a compelling LinkedIn profile.
3️⃣ Teach you to leverage LinkedIn for networking.
4️⃣ Conduct mock interviews and networking practice sessions.
5️⃣ Support you in reviewing and negotiating job offers.
Understanding what services you need-if any- will help ensure you hire the right person. But before spending any money, you may want to access the many excellent free resources available to assist you. Starting with these, you may learn that you are more capable than you think.
