NEW RISK-FREE CAREER COACHING OPPORTUNITY!
One of the number one reason that people don’t seek out career coaching is they’re worried if it’s going to be worth the amount of money they’re paying and if they’ll actually get results.
I know that and I want to help some of you who may be skeptical by assuming all of risk.
What do I mean?
Well, you will pay $0 for career coaching until you land your job!
BUT… there’s 2 things you have to do
You need to be engaged and active in the process. If you’re not, I reserve the right to drop you as a client at any moment. This is a partnership, we ride together we di… lose together.
You will need to either write or record a review about your experiences. Whatever you’re more comfortable with.
That’s it besides that. You’ll get full access to me in helping with your career transition/ job search and the cost will be 20-30% of the sign-on bonus from your future job offer.
That’s it! So what are you waiting for? Reply to this email to let me know you’re interested or email [email protected]!
