My sweet spot when it comes to coaching is where hard decisions intersect big emotions.

If you want basic tactical advice and support on looking for a job, I can do that. But I often find that the difficulties people face when looking for a job often involve hopes, fears, insecurities, etc. and that someone's mindset is often at least as important as their tactics when it comes to finding a job.  

I bring the perspective of someone who's been on the employer side of the table doing the hiring and someone who's coached a lot of folks who are looking for work. I am also a very kind and empathetic listener, and I ask good questions. I also bring an intersectional analysis and an understanding of power dynamics to what I do. I think because of my approach, I've had a lot of good experiences supporting folks across a wide variety of social identities and other kinds of personal difference.

I think it's best to have sessions either once a week or once every other week initially, and that me and my clients really start hitting our stride in the 4-6 session range (and I have had clients who've worked with me for much longer than that). I can certainly get something done in fewer sessions, but it'd have to be relatively discrete and relatively focused (e.g. coaching about salary negotiations can be a 1-2 session thing). But there is no minimum number of sessions and you'd be in the driver's seat when it came to scheduling sessions.
