In this article: Sharon Armstrong: I often encourage them to find a career coach with whom they have some chemistry. A good coach can help the individual cope with the stress of change and focus their search efforts on self-assessment and marketplace realities. They provide a structure and a method for the process. They support, challenge and hold the job seeker accountable. A coach will help the client define their career goal, develop a marketing plan, write an effective resume that markets their unique selling proposition, polish their interviewing skills and think about networking in new ways.
