Questions Before You Start
What if I have an interview or application deadline coming up?
Tell me the deadline when you book your introductory call. We’ll discuss your immediate priority, my availability, and which level of support fits before you enroll.
How much does coaching cost?
We’ll discuss package pricing and applicable payment arrangements during the introductory call. Before you decide, you’ll receive the scope, total fee, and program terms.
What happens if I’m still searching when the program ends?
Each package has a defined number of meetings and support period. Before it ends, we’ll review your progress and next steps. Continued coaching would require a separate agreement. Individual outcomes vary, and coaching does not guarantee an internship or job offer.
