Career Coaching
Career coaching supports decisions and progress around work itself - whether that's finding a new role, changing direction entirely, or growing within your current career.
What this coaching style can help with
This style commonly helps with clarifying what you actually want from your career, improving CVs, applications and interview performance, navigating a career change, and building confidence around negotiation or promotion conversations.
Who it may suit
This may suit anyone job-searching, considering a career change, feeling stuck or undervalued in a current role, or preparing for a specific step such as a promotion or a return to work.
Common goals
Typical goals include a clearer sense of career direction, a stronger CV and application approach, better interview confidence, and a realistic plan for a career change.
What a session may involve
Sessions often combine reflective conversation (what do you actually want, and why) with practical work such as reviewing a CV, practising interview answers, or planning a job search strategy.
Questions to ask a coach
- Do you specialise in a particular industry, or work across sectors?
- Can you help with practical things like CV review and interview practice, not just direction?
- How do you support someone who isn't sure what they want yet?
- What's your experience with career changes at my career stage?
- How many sessions do people typically need for a job search versus a longer-term change?
Online and in-person options

Frequently asked questions
Is career coaching only useful if I'm job-hunting right now?
No - many people use it while still employed, to plan a change, prepare for promotion, or simply get clarity before deciding whether to move at all.
Can a career coach guarantee I'll get a new job or a pay rise?
No coach can guarantee a specific outcome like this - a good coach will be upfront that outcomes depend on many factors outside their control, including the job market itself.
