WHY CHOOSE TO WORK WITH US
As of July 2019 the average length of time to find a new job in Canada is 4 to 9 months and 5 months in the USA. This is impacted by a number of variables (age, location, re-employability, skills, personality, industry, position target, and how motivated and proactive the individual is). In comparison the majority of Virtual Job Search Coach clients are re-employed within 6 to 12 weeks on average.
Our results are individuals who:
• feel supported, positive, and confident in moving forward
• become job seekers empowered and prepared to seek new employment
• know their potential career options and determine which ones to pursue
• have identified employment targets and how to approach them
