What is job coaching and how can I benefit from it?

Are you ready to find your first job or make a career change? Are you looking for social or task support in your current position?

Whether you’re ready to begin your first career or are years into your profession, job coaching can benefit you. Together, we’ll focus on a strengths based approach.

If you’re seeking a new position, we’ll determine a career that might suit you best, and then work together to fine-tune your resume, apply for jobs, and review interview skills in a neuro-affirming way.

Job coaching can also occur within your current career. Maybe you’ve been wanting to start advocating for more accommodations to make your workday more comfortable, or maybe you’d like regular on-going coaching to assist with weekly task management and productivity.

Here’s a quick list of goals we might work on…

• Advocating for accommodations in the workplace

• Choosing a career that highlights your strengths

• Writing a cover letter and updating your resume

• Interview skills

• Building social communication with co-workers and administrators

• Task management and time management

• On-going daily or weekly support to maintain workplace productivity

• Providing a training to your employer and co-workers on creating neuro-affirming workplaces

• Parents: Accompanying your adult or young adult to their new job or current job, provide real-time social and task support. Overall, acting as a transition coordinator to ensure continued future success.
