If you are in the process of trying to find your first real job, this may feel a bit overwhelming for you. You may not know what to do or what to expect, and this can make the whole process more difficult and scary than it needs to be. Thankfully, there are people out there who can help you with this process. One such person is a career coach. A career coach does just as their name states—help to coach you through the process of getting a job. This article will discuss 2 awesome reasons to work with a career coach. 

They Can Help With Your Resume 

One of the most important things that you will present to potential future employers is your resume. This document is so important because it contains a great deal of information about you, such as your past work experience, schooling, interests, etc. This also gives them something to scan over quickly to find out a great deal about you. Because this document is so important, it is essential that you not only have one, but that you have one that is done correctly. Your career coach can show you the proper outline for a resume, what key points to include, how to word things, what font type and size to use, etc. All of this information will really come in handy for you because it will help you to create a resume that you will be proud of. 

Conduct Mock Interviews

One of the most nerve-wracking parts of applying for a job is the interview itself. Being asked questions right on the spot that you have had no time to prepare answers for can sometimes catch you off guard and cause you to stumble with your answer. However, the more used you are to these kind of questions, the more likely you are to answer the question quickly and professionally. Because practice makes perfect, your career coach will conduct some mock interviews with you that ask you a series of questions that you could be asked in your real interview. Together, you can discuss appropriate answers for all of these questions and how you can word your answers so that you sound confident and qualified. This can go a long way in not only helping you to feel better about yourself on a professional level, but also in reducing your fear of the entire career finding process.
