Managing the 8 Mental Challenges of Job Search

When you meet with your Job Coach regularly you’ll find that you’re better able to sustain your motivation & less apt to get discouraged. Your Job Search Coach can also help you with the mental challenges of job search:

Letting go of the shock & hurt of being laid off or fired
Grieving what you’ve left behind
Overcoming the embarrassment of letting people know you’re in a Job Search
Building your confidence
Overcoming your fears (e.g., trying something new, networking, selling yourself, applying, interviewing)
Getting geared up for interviews
Dealing with rejection
Asking for what you’re worth

We’re experts in helping people overcome the mental barriers they encounter in attaining their goals. We can even help you make your Job Search fun!

We Help You Leverage Social Media & Technology for Your Job Search

You may be wondering: How do I use LinkedIn for my job search? Should I use Facebook or Twitter? What about Instagram? Do I need my own website?

You may not be up on the latest Social Media tips & tricks, but we can help!

Even if you know what an ATS is, you may not know how to format your resume to successfully pass through the current ATS settings.

And, now Zoom video interviews are prevalent. We can help you “ace” them by practicing with us& learning to present yourself well for videoconferencing.

Your Donna Schilder Job Coach™ will help you leverage the technology of job search to your advantage.

Job Search Coaching Outcomes

“Donna has helped me in many ways, including preparing me for an important job interview to support my job search. As a result of her coaching I was more confident during the interview, gave powerful & specific answers to the questions, and felt a sense of ease. Without her coaching I know that the interview would not have gone as well as it did, nor would I have felt as sure of myself. I am tremendously grateful for the coaching I received from Donna.” — H.B., Ph.D. Ed.D., Human Resources Manager, Aerospace Industry
