Q - How will I stay informed about my student’s progress?
A - Parent check-ins are available with every coaching package. During your free introductory call, we’ll discuss how you can stay involved while keeping your student in charge of their career search.
Q - Is coaching effective for students who don't know their career path?
A - Absolutely. Our Clarity phase specializes in helping students discover their strengths, interests, and potential career paths, moving them from uncertainty to clear direction and securing internships.
Q - What kind of job search materials does GradLanding help with?
A - We provide comprehensive support for crafting compelling resumes, optimizing LinkedIn profiles, writing effective cover letters, and preparing for networking and interviews, all essential for successful early career job searches.
Q - How is GradLanding different from my student’s college career center?
A - Your student’s college career center is a valuable resource, and we encourage them to use it. GradLanding adds personalized coaching, a structured action plan, and ongoing accountability for students who want more support. Christine brings an employer’s perspective from more than 20 years in recruiting and career development, helping students connect career exploration, applications, networking, and interview preparation.
Q - Does my student need to know what they want to do before starting coaching?
A - No. Students can begin without a clear career direction. They do need to be willing to participate, explore options, and take agreed-upon steps between sessions. GradLanding provides structure, feedback, and accountability while the student takes an active role in their search. If you’re unsure whether your student is ready, we can discuss that during a free introductory call.
Q - When should my college student start career coaching?
A - The starting point depends on your student’s goals and readiness to participate.
First- and second-year students can focus on exploring career interests, building a resume, and preparing to pursue internships.
Juniors can focus on internship searches, networking, and interview preparation.
Seniors and recent graduates can focus on targeting full-time roles, strengthening applications, and practicing interviews.
You don’t need to wait until graduation or until the search feels overwhelming. During a free introductory call, we can discuss your student’s situation and the right next step.
