Career Coaching

Dr. Marty Nemko is in his 23rd year of career and college advising 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 of my 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!)

Depending on the client, the sessions can focus on becoming more successful in one's current work, choosing a career, landing a job, or starting or building a business. Or the sessions, in part or completely can focus on related issues such as: improving communication skills, conquering anger issues or tendency to procrastinate, developing a more satisfying approach to life, and/or finding or improving a romantic relationship.
