Career Coaching

Dr. Marty Nemko is in his 23rd year of career counseling/coaching in his Oakland, CA office and by phone or Skype. He has worked with 3,000 clients and enjoys a 96% client satisfaction rate. The San Francisco Bay Guardian, on its cover, called him "The Bay Area's Best Career Coach." US News & World Report described him as "career coach extraordinaire."

While every client is different, the most typical scenario is that the client completes, at home, a probing new-client questionnaire, which serves as the springboard for the first session, which is about two hours long and costs $450. At the end of that session, the client leaves with a very specific action plan and homework. Perhaps 1/3 of clients require only that one session. Most other clients have two or three more sessions ($175 an hour) before they're off-and-running on their own. Some clients elect to return for a "career checkup" every six months or year, kind of like we do with the dentist, although usually much more pleasant.

Most often, our work focuses on choosing a career, landing a job, or starting or building a business. But I've had excellent success in helping people have greater success and happiness in their current job. Sometimes, sessions address career-related issues such as: improving communication skills, conquering anger issues or tendency to procrastinate, developing a more satisfying approach to life, or even finding or improving a romantic relationship.
