Frequently Asked
Questions
About Career Coach RD
Do you have a question not addressed
here? Please
contact me.
Why don't you offer other career coaching
services such as job search strategies,
resume writing and interviewing?
Just as dietitians have practice
areas—consider that there are 29 DPGs—successful
career coaches have a specialty based on
interest, skills and experience.
For me,
that specialty is salary negotiation for
dietitians who are interviewing for a
new job. And I've also been helping the
general public (mostly working mothers)
successfully negotiate flexible work
arrangements for many years through
WorkOptions.com.
I don't have much privacy at work. Do
you offer coaching appointments in the
evening so I can call you from my home?
Yes, early evening appointments by
telephone are available. In fact, being
coached during your own time and at your own
place is the preferred arrangement.
Why don't you conduct any of your
services in the mornings?
It's a time-zone issue. Living in the
50th state, my clock is several hours behind
the US Mainland. So when it's 10 AM Eastern
time, it's 5 AM here, and yes, I'm
still sleeping! So afternoons and early
evenings (your time) are when I'm available.
Am I obligated to engage you for
long-term coaching as
other coaches do?
No. The nature and topic of Career
Coach RD coaching is situation-specific and
relatively short-term. Figure on one to
three sessions.
