What Does a Career Coach Do?

A career coach is a trained professional who helps you explore your values, strengths, and ambitions to create a personalized career path that aligns with your life. Unlike a recruiter or job placement service, a coach focuses on you—your mindset, your confidence, and your long-term satisfaction.

Common areas career coaches support include:

  • Career change or transition

  • Discovering your ideal career fit

  • Interview preparation & resume review

  • Building confidence in your skills

  • Setting and achieving career goals

  • Overcoming imposter syndrome or burnout

Whether you're early in your career or reinventing yourself in your 40s or 50s, career coaching can be the roadmap you’ve been looking for.


Signs You Might Need a Career Coach

You might benefit from career coaching if:

  • You feel stuck or unfulfilled at work

  • You dread Monday mornings

  • You’re unsure what job or industry suits you

  • You’ve been job-hopping without clarity

  • You’re returning to the workforce after a break

  • You’re ready to grow, but unsure how to level up

The truth is: you don’t have to figure it out alone. A career coach helps you take the guesswork out of the process and gives you the tools and support to move with confidence.

Benefits of Working With a Career Coach
