I have been Career Coaching full-time for 25 years now, but it all started long ago when my Dad lost his job. I was just 10 years old, and frightened that our family of eight would end up on the street! I was too young to know about unemployment benefits, but I watched my Dad apply for job after job and get only a handful of interviews. Even then, I sincerely felt I could help. I just couldn't understand why any company wouldn't jump at the chance to have my Dad. He was such a hard worker, so detail oriented, yet really creative and solution-oriented. I listened to Dad's stories of job-seeking and interviewing. The process was scary and fascinating to me. At the same time, I wanted to learn how I could make him feel more confident.
