By March 31, 2021April 8th, 2021

Everyone has had a coach in their past. It may have been a parent at home, a sports coach in school, a manager at work who pushed them a bit, or a mentor who took them under their wing. These were all coaches in our lives.

Coaching is a huge part of NextJob’s success in both its outplacement and career development work.

NextJob career coaches support individuals who want to improve their performance and career satisfaction at their current employer by helping them identify and develop career plans and goals and then support and guide them as they work towards achieving their goals.

“I was in a pool of over 300 applicants and was able to make it through all the interviews and finally got the job. I believe my job coach was hugely responsible for that.” ~ Everett, NextJob Job Seeker
