Career Coaching

Areas of FoCUS

Whether you are a business professional in need of a career change, recent MBA graduate who landed in a job which doesn't fit your personal or professional objectives wants to make a change, or an MBA alum who is ready for a new role and needs advice on how to get there, Elissa’s career coaching can help you.

By establishing a supportive and collaborative partnership, you and Elissa can work together in these crucial areas:

  • Conduct self-assessment and gain clarity on your career goals

  • Devise a job search plan including specific milestones

  • Craft your pitch and personal brand

  • Create compelling resume/cover letters and LinkedIn profiles

  • Develop and execute a networking action plan

  • Prepare for and practice interviewing

  • Address any concerns or obstacles you are facing in your job search / career transition

Individualized Approach

During each one-on-one session, Elissa will customize the agenda to your goals. Listening thoughtfully to your questions, concerns and needs, she may share best practices, brainstorm job search approaches, review your job search materials, conduct mock interviews, present actionable advice and feedback and/or discuss your progress.

After each session, you and Elissa will agree on homework and next steps, so you stay focused and make progress towards achieving your goals.  In addition, between sessions, Elissa is available via email to ask quick questions or to hear job search updates. 

Working with Elissa, you will find her approach, expertise and investment in your process will increase your self-awareness, job search knowledge and confidence in your ability to achieve your goals.

Coaching takes place over the phone or via Zoom and is convenient and easy to schedule.

“After 3 months of working with Elissa, I landed my dream job.  

Elissa helped me through the logistics of a job search, but was also there every step along the way whether it was preparing me for a big interview or helping me respond to an email.  She was very vested in my job search.  I was empowered to not settle and focus on finding the perfect job.”
