I’ve considered working with a resume writer or career coach after hearing mixed reviews from friends who tried both. How do I find someone who’s actually capable of helping vs someone who randomly decided to become an online “coach” and won’t get me results?

I think a big part of the challenge here is expectation setting. A career coach can help someone become more competitive and strategic in their approach, but they can’t guarantee outcomes in a market like this.

Curious—what kind of support were you hoping to get from them?

What do you recommend?
