Career transition engagements are structured for professionals in all phases of the transition process which ranges from planning a transition to negotiating an offer. Many professionals seek transition services to:

1. •Explore career change
   

2. •Change jobs
   

3. •Change career
   

4. •Develop job search collateral
   

5. •Learn or improve key job search skills
   

6. •Gain clarity around what they will and will not negotiate
   

Because each client brings a unique set of skills and wants to their transition process, the transition service is customized to meet the unique needs of each client.  This approach allows each client to make maximum use of his/her coaching time by focusing on their current opportunities and needs.   Generally, clients seek transition services to:

1. •Identify and use the client’s values in career and job change
   

2. •Develop better resumes, cover letters and transition plans
   

3. •Develop and use networking skills
   

4. •Prepare for interviews and negotiations
