Outplacement Coaching

“I chose this course out of two options for career coaching offered to me after I wasn’t hired back, and I’m so glad I made the right choice! Paulette has a unique approach to coaching and offers wonderful online materials…Furthermore, since they were online, I could go back and review them at any time I wanted. I ended up getting my first job as a lawyer one month after my call to the bar. Lawyer Coach Paulette really knows how to work with young lawyers and I would highly recommend her!”
