Career Coaching

Unlock your true professional potential with our Career Coaching services! At Facilitate Discovery, we specialize in guiding you through personalized career strategies, skill enhancement, and goal-setting to help you achieve your career aspirations. Whether you’re looking to advance in your current role, transition to a new career, or find greater fulfillment in your professional life, our expert coaches are here to support you every step of the way. Understanding the distinct pathways in government and private sector job applications is crucial for your success. Government job applications often have structured processes, stringent requirements, and comprehensive selection criteria focusing on public service values. In contrast, private sector applications typically emphasize skills, experience, and cultural fit within a more dynamic and competitive environment. Our tailored coaching will equip you with the insights and strategies needed to confidently navigate these unique landscapes.

Application Writing Process with Your Coach

Although our approach is customized to each individual, here is the general process we use to write a cover letter and resume that showcases your top skills and to help you to succeed in your next interview:
1) Assessment and Introductory Meeting
  • You complete assessment questionnaires.
  • Your coach schedules one-hour meeting to discuss your goals, challenges and detailed career history.
2) Base Resume and Cover Letter
  • Your coach develops a draft resume/cover letter and, with your feedback, finalizes the base application, which can be used for non-solicited job applications.
3) Target Search for Suitable Jobs
  • You and your coach develop a list of suitable job opportunities and you both source several potential job ads.
4) Customized Cover Letter for a Specific Job
  • Your coach develops a cover letter customized to meet the qualifications of a specific job, which you can update for other applications.
  • Your coach can develop customized versions of the cover letter for different fields, or for public or private sector.
