By Leanne Goff


Given the challenging job market these days, desperation and trepidation are pretty apparent among job hunters. Yes, there is a big world out there with bottomless career opportunities. However, it is particularly necessary to take loads of effort to survive amid the throng of other applicants with similar background, level of expertise and qualification. Seekers need someone who can help them overthrow their fear in job hunting and finally gain courage to face every tricky stage in the process of recruitment. For several individuals, interview is the most difficult part. And if you think you have the mastery in this field, consider becoming a professional job interview coach. Your expertise can surely be of significant help.

Becoming a coach is truly rewarding. However, it necessitates enormous knowledge and comprehensive training before you become one. While there are do-it-yourself coaching packages, learning the whole process alone can be taxing. Plus, you need to find tough tricks and tips to be able to help your clients to become top candidates.

The tough economy makes employment search even harder. Expertise and skill are two essential aspects interviewers look in applicants but as a whole, it all boils down to how well are these applicants during their interviews. And that is your biggest task as a coach.

Through constant practice and experience, you can be a great one. You can look for an accredited organization that offers training and sign up. Most interview coaches are previous CEOs and university professors. Learning their craft will never be long considering your own mastery in the process. Materials will be available in every session. Just be sure you are really interested in taking this path.

Career coaching is an awesome line of business. Do not feel sorry for being a retired professional or someone who is quite desperate to start up your own venture. Your coaching service is not just going to help other people achieve their dreams but also gives you a great entrepreneurial spirit at the end of the day.

As you move along with the process, keep in mind that such undertaking is better done with a team of other professionals. Try to get in touch with some previous colleagues. They could be interested too. Set up an office together for better earnings.

You and your partners can share experience and learn from each other. Be equipped with necessary materials and right information associated with each angle in the employment process before you start the ball rolling. And since sensitivity to the clients' needs is very important, make sure each one of you can capably handle all clients professionally.

Register to a prominent professional association so your service will be recognized to the public. And though your main task is to help clients in the interview process, it is likewise necessary that you are a good resume writer. You will be teaching your clients on how to create compelling resumes as well.

It is really fulfilling to become a job interview coach. Careers might be flooding, but qualifying takes more than just a degree and talent. Helping aspiring applicants ace their interviews is like helping a baby take his first step.
