After 14 months of looking for work, Mark Dean of Coral Springs, Fla., decided a career coach might be worth the expense.
A marketing executive, Dean has thought he was close to snagging a job three times, but lost out when the jobs were either frozen or filled internally. So he recently joined Miami career coach Jeannette Kraar’s accelerated job search program.
“If something is not working from a messaging standpoint, you have to step back and take a look at it. I needed professional help,” said Dean.
Kraar has helped Dean narrow his job search from 30 states to four, including Florida where he and his wife want to live. She also has helped him better use LinkedIn and other social media to find connections. Now, Dean said, “I have confidence I’m approaching this in the right way.”
