When back to school means back to work: Parents can enter to win a free career coaching session
Back-to-school season is here and for many parents, this is the ideal time to seek out new employment. In fact, a recent survey conducted by The Harris Poll on behalf of CareerBuilder shows that nearly 20% of parents with a child under 18 are actively looking for a job. And while it remains a job seekers’ market with virtually every industry hiring, we understand that you may need an extra assist in landing a role that fits your schedule as a busy parent. To help, CareerBuilder is providing 10 parents with a free coaching session to help them enter – or re-enter – the workforce.
Almost a fifth of respondents in a new CareerBuilder social poll indicated they’d taken time away from work over the summer to care for their children and 33% feel they don’t have a mentor who can help support their job search. If you feel the same, this giveaway is for you!
Each complimentary career coaching session will include a private one-on-one video call given by an expert with years of unique experience in hiring. The online session is an opportunity for job seekers to ask questions including how to best address career gaps during an interview and garner a better understanding of their strengths with actionable feedback and a video recording directly following.
