Introduction: With 20 years of Corporate Recruiting experience coupled with a Career Counseling background and a heart to help others achieve their professional and personal goals I started Coach Your Career. My unique approach to my client challenges offers an insider prospective of how an employer would perceive you. Whether you are changing careers, just graduated and entering the job market, transitioning from active duty or just trying to further your current status within an established organization, my services are designed to help you! The process is very simple. Covered in every consultation, we will uncover what is preventing you from meeting your own goals. I will use a transparent approach to guide us along the way. Using my many years of experience in the industry as a recruiter - seeing resumes, interviewing people from the other side and negotiating their salaries, I know that my passion is to help YOU understand the do's and don'ts. I love working through each individual problem, drive out goal-setting, build effective resume, offer interview techniques, negotiating compensation and job search via social media – you will be prepared for any situation. Enough about me...what about YOU!? My passion revolves around seeing a positive change in peoples lives. It's satisfies me when I can use my experience and talents to better someone's situation. When I have the opportunity to help someone make that transition full of unknowns it brings fulfillment. My ultimate goal is to help my clients self brand themselves in an ever evolving job market.

Thanks to Scott and his skills and expertise in resume building, networking, interviewing and salary negotiation, I start my new, higher paying job less than 2 weeks from now! Previously, I was going about my job search all wrong with an outdated resume and no social media network to speak of so I turned to Scott for answers, and he delivered! From the first time I sat down with him he helped me get on track with the new age job searching techniques. We were able to set goals and I immediately noticed a vast improvement in my results and increased confidence! He walked me through a step-by-step process catering to MY skills and desires with integrity and he made it easy to apply what he'd taught me. Soon after my initial meeting with Scott, the phone started ringing and I found myself trying to figure which offer I liked best! If you are looking for a knowledgeable resource that you can lean on for honesty and accountability then I recommend Scott and Coach Your Career.

If you are looking for a coach to take your career to the next level, look no further. Scott Albert is the real deal! After failing countless interviews, I knew I needed a coach to succeed. I was tired of getting beat out by less talented people simply because I didn't know how to sell myself better. After my first session with Scott, I knew I was dealing with a real pro. Scott and I started working together in the winter of 2015 and by spring 2016, I had 3 offers at almost double my current salary. At first, I didn't change jobs but Scott helped me maximize my current earnings. I was able to negotiate for a 40% salary increase at my job. In Aug of 2016 I decided to move companies and Scott helped me land my dream job with a perfect schedule and $15,000 salary increase. Hiring Scott as a Career Coach was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Thank you Scott! - From me and my family!

It is my pleasure to recommend Coach Your Career to anyone looking to make a career change, graduating college and entering the workforce, or wanting to move forward in their current career. In terms of my personal situation, I moved to Charlotte, NC two years ago from Atlanta, GA and went a different path professionally by starting a transportation and logistics company. In January, 2015 I decided to shut the transportation company down and resume my Management Consulting career here in Charlotte. When I came to Coach your Career I was hoping to get help with my job search and realized much had changed since I last looked for a job, which was in 2007. Not only that, but the job market for me in Charlotte was drastically different from the one I encountered in Atlanta. Scott Albert immediately reviewed my resume and my use of other job search related tools. We immediately focused on getting my social media accounts updated properly and he coached me on the tools available within these mediums and how best to utilize them in my own job search. A lot of time was also spent preparing for interview questions and also educating me on what the real purpose of these questions were. Scott also instructed me on my true market value and that finding the right company that is a good fit for me was of the utmost importance. Once again, I strongly recommend his services for anyone entering the job search. He can instruct any new graduate on the way corporations operate and what you need to do so you stand out to recruiters For a more seasoned person, he will be able to audit your use of modern technologies and methods that have become more relevant. Scott immediately makes you feel like you have someone invested in your situation and an is an active and concerned teammate during the time spent with you. Personally, I feel like my ability to market myself and my abilities increased by leaps and bounds by working with Scott Albert."

I reached out to Scott before making my career move. Without him I would not have been able to maneuver my way through the whole process as successfully as I did. His vast knowledge and expertise played a big role in every aspect of my move, from the search to the interview and all the way through the negotiation process. I won't make another career or job change/move without him :) - THANKS SCOTT!

Scott was an objective, encouraging coach at the exact time that I needed it. He was thorough and his advice regarding networking, resume building and interview techniques are skills I continue to use. Now is the time to make the change you want to see in your life and Scott will help you get there.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Typically offer options of 4, 6, 8 packages. However because this is a customized service, I am flexible. Most clients start off at 4 - one hour individual sessions and my normal price is $100/hr. However, pricing varies upon client needs and can and will be adjusted accordingly.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First, I like to offer each potential client a free consultation. This allows them to learn a little about me as I will be working with them on some personal hurdles. During our complimentary session I would take the time to learn more about their challenges and strategize and put to action a "game plan" for breaking down each obstacle. Once we agree to work together, I would send the new client a career assessment to be done prior to our first session. Finally, during our sessions I would focus on the tactical “how to” so when I phase out my client has the tools to be successful.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I have worked with a very wide variety of clients. However, to sum it up I have worked with the following industries: IT, Financial Services, Healthcare, Education, Non-Profit, Professional Services, Logistics, Manufacturing, Distribution, Life Science, Automotive, Telecommunications and Entertainment. I have successfully worked through the following challenges with clients: Career transition, work/life balance, negotiating raises and new comp, performance anxiety in interviews, resume building, personal branding, short and long term goal setting, in office politicking, leadership anxiety, public speaking, reinventing career, graduating with the wrong degree, not graduating and searching for career growth and much much more!
