Date: April 7th, 2015 10:13 AM Author: translucent nofapping set background story I've known several people who have become "career coaches" and they're all bullshitters who have flamed out of their real jobs. That said, there's no harm in going to a couple sessions - just don't pay them more than you want to part with, and don't get roped into months and months of their shit. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2849221&forum_id=2#27638851) |
 |
Date: April 7th, 2015 10:48 AM Author: bateful jet piazza Cr. All "coaches" go to great lengths to disavow responsibility for any lack of results their advice delivers. Basically they blame you if your situation doesn't improve and take credit if it does. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2849221&forum_id=2#27639105) |
|
Date: April 7th, 2015 10:52 AM Author: learning disabled harsh range organic girlfriend true...but at this point i'll take anything i can get...just wanna choose wisely...
guess q is, should i go to someone like this who is specifically geared to big lolyers, or go to someone more general? |
|
Date: April 7th, 2015 10:58 AM Author: Multi-colored startling rehab well if you're still interested in law obvi the former, if you're looking to get out of law period maybe more general. also depends on what you're looking for here, professional resume critique, cover letter, interview critique vs. helping you choose directions (IDK that anyone can do that). (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2849221&forum_id=2#27639162) |
|
Date: April 7th, 2015 10:59 AM Author: learning disabled harsh range organic girlfriend yea see link above...she 'specializes' in helping people get out of law (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2849221&forum_id=2#27639165) |
|
Date: April 7th, 2015 11:01 AM Author: Multi-colored startling rehab looks like a fucking scam that's more geared towards how to quit law vs. how to get into and pick the new thing.
it's really easy to quit. just send a resignation letter. |
|
Date: April 7th, 2015 11:05 AM Author: learning disabled harsh range organic girlfriend yea but would be helpful to have professional support while transitioning rather than just casting myself into the abyss of couch sitting, video game playing, job board lurking, potato chip eating unemployment
u have any other suggestions? |
|
Date: April 7th, 2015 11:06 AM Author: Multi-colored startling rehab your issue is you need someone to yell at you daily to get off your ass?
|
|
Date: April 7th, 2015 11:09 AM Author: learning disabled harsh range organic girlfriend no def not...i have that internally
i need real, practical, constructive advice about what i'm doing right and what i'm doing wrong. |

|
Date: April 7th, 2015 11:14 AM Author: learning disabled harsh range organic girlfriend yup i do all the time...guess its just a tough slog...
u think its credited to ask a HR manager who dings you if she can provide any feedback or is that stalker? |
|
Date: April 7th, 2015 11:25 AM Author: Multi-colored startling rehab people at large companies who interview you and reject you are not going to give you honest negative feedback on why. they're generally not supposed to. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2849221&forum_id=2#27639442) |
|
Date: April 7th, 2015 11:31 AM Author: learning disabled harsh range organic girlfriend yea i guess theyre afraid they may say x and ill construe it as because ur y.
anyways im having trouble even getting interviews...usually i just dont hear anything back or get the form 'while you have amazing credentials' email |
|
Date: April 7th, 2015 10:57 AM Author: fuchsia stage clown Industry suffers from a 90/10 problem. Most "career coaches" are bullshit artists. In any given market, there will be a few legitimate ones, typically down to an industry level of specificity (e.g., gurus for residency placement; gurus for legal placement). They are freaks--they've leveraged some combination of a network or teachable charisma or an uncanny intuition or superb writing skills to actually be good at what they do. If you're going into it blind, you're obviously unlikely to identify these people, unless you rely on some sort of proxy indicator like "booked for the next six months" or "able to sustain rates of $x00 per hour and has been established in the market for a decade." Even those are imperfect signs. Same spiel could be given for "recruiters." (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2849221&forum_id=2#27639153) |

Date: April 7th, 2015 10:58 AM Author: learning disabled harsh range organic girlfriend yea i mean, i dont necessarily need the michael jordan of career coaches...just someone to read my resume and provide some insight into why i cant snag any interviews etc (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2849221&forum_id=2#27639163) |
|
Date: April 7th, 2015 11:01 AM Author: fuchsia stage clown IMO, these industries tend to settle into bimodal distribs. You're either with a Michael Jordan or you're with a ... Bill Wennington (#godblessbillwennington). Try for a combination of: (1) reliable word of mouth; (2) evidence of actual results (e.g., testimonials with actual names); (3) a proposed plan of attack involving actual work (e.g., the coach says 'we're going to do the following five tasks in the next two weeks' rather than saying 'we're going to talk about your spirit') (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2849221&forum_id=2#27639180) |

|
Date: April 7th, 2015 11:06 AM Author: fuchsia stage clown Yes. I use a council of twelve coaches at any given time. When one reaches the "age of ascension," his or her first born child will usually step into the role, thus continuing the tradition of discernment and considered guidance enabling us to operate the greatenterprise.

Date: April 7th, 2015 11:09 AM Author: Dull Lodge Mood ask for references of clients they've helped,
at least check out the reference on linkin, see if they've gone from point A (somewhere roughly equivelant to where you are now) to point B (where you're hoping to go)
if you're feeling slightly less lazy, shoot them an email, ask if they felt career coach was worth their time and money |
|
Date: April 7th, 2015 11:11 AM Author: Beady-eyed ultramarine coldplay fan corner What the career coach site you shared offers is approximately what a good bro with a solid head on his shoulders could offer over beer. The best medicine is talking to people who love what they do or at least like it most of the time and are doing well in other aspects of life (fitness, relationships, etc.)
All this really offers is perspective and assuredness that there are others out there finding pleasure in their work. |

Date: April 7th, 2015 11:14 AM Author: learning disabled harsh range organic girlfriend tru that...wanna grab a beer sometime? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2849221&forum_id=2#27639328) |

When are you thinking of leaving the law? |

|
Date: April 7th, 2015 11:29 AM Author: learning disabled harsh range organic girlfriend hanoi
but also my current city is fairly low COL...if i say no to a couple upcoming bachelor parties and only eat out when my parents are paying and cancel comcast, i could generally maintain my standard of living for about 25-30k a year, 35k max |

Date: April 7th, 2015 11:36 AM Author: Beady-eyed ultramarine coldplay fan corner Were there any other second choice careers you considered before pursuing law? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2849221&forum_id=2#27639557) |

thought law school would be a scholarly way of opening doors
i absolutely 100% was determined in no uncertain terms not to end up being a shill corporate bigloyler

Date: April 7th, 2015 11:43 AM Author: learning disabled harsh range organic girlfriend a little bit, like independent school sites...i dunno...guess i still wanna take a stab at doing my own thing before getting into the teacher groove...maybe in 5 years tho (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2849221&forum_id=2#27639616) |
|
Date: April 7th, 2015 11:46 AM Author: Beady-eyed ultramarine coldplay fan corner I get the sense that people who pay to have someone else guide them aren't really paying for expertise as much as accountability/structure.
Maybe write out a 6 month, 1 yr, 3 yr, 5 yr plan for yourself -- what you visualize, and the steps you need to take to make it all happen. Honestly, if you want to roll on your own, and if you have decent writing skills, freelance work (that may not be particularly riveting, but can be decent-paying per project - not per word) could keep your finances coming in while getting you out of the toxicity of lawl. |
|
Date: April 7th, 2015 11:48 AM Author: learning disabled harsh range organic girlfriend yup...good points...and even maybe doing like 2-3 month doc review gigs...just make enough to not have to dip into savings, focus on moving things forward with my gf, getting into better shape, and working on side projects...
would be cr...just makes me cringe at the thought of going into my bosses office and telling him im done here...dont even know what to say |
|
Date: April 7th, 2015 11:50 AM Author: Beady-eyed ultramarine coldplay fan corner The better coach would be a "quitting your job with confidence and dignity" coach.
I worked somewhere for seven years and when I finally quit, I nearly vomited. |
