Hi there,

I would say it's the perfect side-gig if you're not sure yet whether you actually like it or are even good at it.

Once you figure out that this is in fact for you and that you succeed in placing candidates by providing great coaching, take a shot. In my case, I love it and I get a kick out of every “I GOT THE OFFER” message!

However, if your starting point is zero, I would be very cautious - unless you can afford to fail.

Best of luck!

Hey there, 

That's a cool and honest question!

I think you should first ask yourself whether you actually enjoy coaching. I always got a lot of satisfaction from it and received great feedback even when I was in the firm, so I saw it as a natural next step once I was out. You can try it and see how it feels - maybe it will turn out you'll be great at it. 

Best of luck! :) 

There seems to be a very very small handful of coaches who seem to do it full-time and even less when it comes to tier 2.  Based on observation, they seem to invest heavily in creating a distinctive proposition/content that disproportionately attracts candidates.  Having said that, I personally think you just learn by doing and getting traction where I wouldn’t over analyse it.  You understand and develop your value proposition by seeing what candidates value from your coaching.

Great question. I have some downtime at work and I am also looking to make this a part time gig. While some of you are very qualified and fantastic coaches, how do we new coaches get traction and leads? Any insights, tips, tricks will be great. 

Best,

Hi there,

Like most gig-style work it's extremely hard at first. There's a momentum effect that occurs the more you teach and as you build up materials. Be careful making this your primary source of income in the first year or two!

Hello!

I advice you to organize coffee chats with the people you are interested, since those questions are too broad to just discuss over here. 

Cheers,

Hello,

interview prep coaching is a fairly entrepreneurial affair with many degrees of freedom. I'd suggest you don't over-think, and just develop a value proposition, craft a clear profile and start by trial and error. Most of the top coaches here did exactly that and perfected their approach, offering and marketing over time. Just give it a try and see what works and what doesn't.
