What is Career Coaching?

Career coaching is a one-on-one consultation with a career expert. You can use your career coaching session for any career-related matter. From crafting that perfect resume and cover letter, practicing for an interview, positioning yourself for a promotion, improving your management skills or finding work-life balance, career coaching can help you keep your career moving.

“Working with Catherine has been an incredible boost to my career, and I recommend all of my friends meet with her. My initial meeting was so refreshing as she helped me uncover my strengths and gave me the vocabulary to describe them to potential employers and recruiters. Thanks to my lifetime GAA membership, I’m able to meet with Catherine annually, and I use that opportunity to keep my resume and LinkedIn page up to date, and it has been a practice that was instrumental in getting consistent raises and promotions.” -’09 grad, ’21 MBA candidate
