Frequently Asked Questions

A career coach is a professional who helps individuals navigate their career paths by providing personalized guidance on job searching, career growth, and professional transitions. They assist clients in gaining clarity on their strengths, interests, and goals, while also offering practical strategies for resume and LinkedIn optimization, job applications, and networking. Career coaches also provide interview preparation, salary negotiation tips, and support for those looking to switch careers or advance in their current roles. By acting as a mentor, strategist, and motivator, a career coach empowers individuals to make informed decisions and achieve their professional aspirations with confidence.

A good career coach possesses a combination of expertise, empathy, and strategic thinking to guide clients toward achieving their professional goals. They have strong communication skills, actively listening to clients’ needs while providing clear, actionable advice. A deep understanding of the job market, industry trends, and hiring practices allows them to offer relevant insights and strategies. They are skilled in resume optimization, LinkedIn branding, interview coaching, and job search techniques, ensuring clients stand out in competitive markets. Beyond technical expertise, a great career coach fosters confidence and motivation, helping clients overcome self-doubt and career obstacles. They personalize their approach, recognizing that every client has unique aspirations, challenges, and strengths. Above all, they are genuinely invested in their clients’ success, offering ongoing support and accountability to ensure long-term career growth.

The cost of career coaching varies based on several factors, including the coach’s experience, expertise, specialization, and results-driven approach. More expensive career coaches often have extensive industry experience, advanced certifications, or backgrounds in executive coaching, HR, or recruitment. They may also offer highly personalized, one-on-one coaching tailored to specific industries or senior-level professionals, which requires more in-depth strategy and time investment.

Additionally, career coaches who have a proven track record of success—helping clients secure high-paying jobs, land executive roles, or transition seamlessly into new careers—tend to charge more for their expertise. Those offering comprehensive services like resume writing, LinkedIn branding, networking strategies, salary negotiation, and ongoing career mentorship also justify higher pricing.

Lower-cost coaches might be newer to the field, offer group coaching instead of one-on-one sessions, or provide more generalized career advice rather than specialized, results-oriented coaching. Ultimately, the price reflects the coach’s value, demand, and the level of transformation they can deliver to their clients.

Clients should choose @ASCEND for career coaching because we offer a unique blend of proven expertise, personalized strategies, and cutting-edge tools tailored to their success. With coaches like Paul, boasting 25+ years in tech leadership, and Kevin, with 30+ years in capital markets, @ASCEND delivers industry-specific guidance for professionals in tech and finance, addressing challenges like regulatory shifts or digital transformations to fast-track their rise to senior roles. Unlike generic services, @ASCEND crafts custom action plans that yield measurable results—while integrating innovative solutions like Job Search and Resume Builder. This tech-forward approach, combined with expedited job searches, sets @ASCEND apart, offering holistic support from resume optimization to LinkedIn profiles and ongoing insights via the Career Architect biweekly newsletter (coming soon). @ASCEND equips junior and middle managers with the clarity and confidence to build not just a job, but a thriving career.

After you book your FREE 30-minute consultation via our automated schedule planner, you can meet with your coach as soon as your calendar permits – usually within 2 business days. 

This is entirely based on what your objectives are.  During your FREE 30-minute consultation, you and your coach will discuss a stratergy that meets your ultimate objectives.  This will then form a package of services for you to agree and will be billed monthly.  No long-term commitment.
