Nobody wants to be unemployed, especially for long periods of time. But when people get laid off from their long term jobs, they sometimes have difficulty finding another one. The longer you stay unemployed, the more you have to eat through savings, and the more worry you may have, especially if you have kids or a mortgage. But using Career Transition Coaching and Consulting services can help you break the cycle and find a job.

In today's fast-paced world, the workplace changes frequently, sometimes at the drop of a hat. Expectations and prerequisites are adjusted accordingly, which can make things hard on someone who is trying to reenter the workforce. You may not have kept up with all these changes, especially if you had intended to work longer at your past job, which puts you at a really bad disadvantage compared to others.

You may not realize that there is such a thing as transition coaches, but there are. You can find them listed locally usually, and you want to find one who will stick with you until you find a job. They should also understand the local or regional workforce and what its needs are to give you an even greater advantage.

To start things off, you will make an appointment for an initial consultation. During this time, the coach will ask you about your current and future goals, so you will want to reflect on that before the meeting. They will ask other questions about your work history as well, and combine all these answers to give you an overall assessment. This helps them identify what you need to work on to find a job faster.

You should also have a copy of your resume available for them to peruse. Your resume is the first impression that a human resources worker or recruiter will see, so it needs to be perfect. Sometimes, simply spiffing up your resume is all that is needed to get you back into the workplace. Your coach will help you update it and make it better.

Your coach may ask you to take a class to learn new skills, or even attend a workshop that can enrich the skills you already have. While these are not mandatory for you to do, doing them will look great on your new and improved resume. It also signals to prospective employers that you are willing to learn more than what you already do, which can set you apart from other applicants.

One of the most daunting parts of any job search is the interview. That is why your coach will likely set up a mock interview, where they will ask questions that human resources or recruiters would ask you in a real interview. This gives you a chance to answer the questions and get coached on what not to say. You will also get tips and tricks to leave a good impression, which gives you a leg up on the competition.

The consultant should also help you identify places that have lots of job listings, such as databases or online search sites. This gives you even more opportunity to find that dream job and get you back on your feet.
