TOP TEN PET PEEVES OF A CAREER COACH

Working in the careers industry I hear many stories of what "turns off" a hiring authority. Here are some of the top pet peeves along with some of my own. A career coach can support you in modifying these behaviors to enhance opportunities for getting and keeping a job. My comments follow each pet peeve:

1. Conducting more than 5% of a job search in front of a computer - time waster!
2. Answering machine with a child's voice giving instructions - not cute!
3. Message left with a garbled / racing / indistinguishable phone number - delete!
4. Business card collector working a room at a networking event - ineffective!
5. Resume or CV with grammatical, formatting, and data errors - toss!
