Hi, does anyone have a career coach you love working with and recommend? I’m need to improve my executive presence and confidence. Just blew through a few opportunities and think it may have been due to my interviewing. Thank you.

I don’t have one, but I do media training skills. I’d be happy to help you pro bono.

I don’t have a career coach either, but I met a mentor online, a woman in communications, who just wanted to give back. She helped me prep for interviews, and I felt a big shift in my confidence. Who in your circle might be open to helping, even informally?

Are you using the STAR method to answer interview questions! Incredibly helpful if not.

Can anyone provide any advice, or has anyone successfully moved away from sales?
