Good Perspectives for Tough Times –
Benefits of Using a Career Coach in a Bad Economy
By Ford R. Myers
President of Career Potential, LLC
These are tough times to be sure. Aside from the tragic health crisis, the Coronavirus has sent global financial markets into a tailspin. In addition, the negative impact on employment has already been profound.
Previous economic downturns affected specific industries, such as technology, manufacturing or construction. But according to Business Week, “With lending trimmed, and companies and consumers tightening their belts, jobs will be cut across broad swaths of the economy, from the tech sector to investment banking, and from manufacturing to soft drinks.” In addition to all the layoffs we’re seeing, almost all hiring has been frozen.
The simple fact is that no one knows what’s going to happen to their jobs and careers. Everyone is concerned – even those who still have jobs. Some are terrified – especially those who were already out of work before the Coronoviris hit.

Career-Coach-on-CallSM
“Urgent Care” For Your Career
Do you have the occasional need for career guidance, but not enough to justify engaging in a complete career coaching program? Would you like quick access to a leading career expert, and only pay for as much coaching as you need?
Then we have the perfect solution for you. Career-Coach-on-Call is a new service offering from Career Potential, LLC.
Until now, Career Potential, LLC only accepted “full program clients” and offered no “coaching by the hour.” Career-Coach-on-Call makes professional career coaching more flexible and accessible on a short-term basis, without the big commitment.
Career Coaching via Video Conference
Our coaching model allows us to work remotely and still provide exceptional levels of connection, quality and impact.
Here are just some of the benefits of doing career coaching via video chat:
Time – clients save time by not having to travel to our offices for coaching sessions
Comfort – clients are often more comfortable working from their own homes or offices
Flexibility – clients experience fewer planning conflicts and more flexibility with scheduling
Convenience – clients who travel for work are still able to attend their coaching appointments by using mobile devices from anywhere
Career coaching via video conference is easy and effective.
