Over the past several years, I have had the pleasure to be introduced to a number of very good professional
coaches here in Columbus who can be of great help to you in your job search. Each coach has his or her own expertise
or method of career coaching.
I recommend that you contact a career or job transition coach as part of your job search strategy.
Initial consultations usually have no fee attached.
I strongly recommend that you have your resume prepared by a professional. The cost of a professionally
prepared resume is insignificant to the potential cost savings if the resume just cuts a week off your job search.
Here are a some of the professionals that I recommend that you contact. Like doctors, dentists or lawyers,
you should be comfortable with their individual approach before you hire one.
