#PayItForward Programme - Your chance to apply for Free** Career Coaching

Covid-19 has impacted jobs at an unprecedented level

As Covid-19 unfolded and spread rapidly in Q2 of this year, the news of not only small but also many big companies laying off thousands of people was becoming an everyday sight. I started receiving an overwhelming number of messages from people who were made redundant or feared losing their livelihood. Some were recent graduates, many were mid-career professionals and few even in senior leadership who have hired people but not applied for a job externally in last many years.

Some people feel lost, many are simply overwhelmed

Reading their messages, I could sense their fear and insecurity. In my two decades as a recruiter and a career coach, I have come across many candidates who were in a similar situation, but it isn’t often that you see so many people suddenly finding themselves in this difficult situation at the same time. Through 1:1 discussions and online polls, I learnt that many felt lost. They were not only overwhelmed by the situation, but many were completely out of touch with the current hiring market practices. 

Career Coaching helps provide direction (and a listening ear)

So, in late May, I designed and started offering a comprehensive 7-stage career coaching programme at a 50% discount to help people in their job search – starting from writing an impeccable CV and going all the way to offer negotiation (and sometimes be a listening ear and a friend to them). The response was beyond my expectations and the feedbacks were simply amazing. The impact I was able to make in people’s lives was extremely fulfilling – this is why I became a recruiter and a career coach in the first place.

At the same time, I noticed that not everyone who deserved my help could afford to pay for my career coaching services, despite the 50% discount (which was my way of contributing). This motivated me to come up with #PayItForward Programme – an opportunity for one deserving candidate to get my comprehensive 7-stage career coaching programme – absolutely FREE!
