Hi, I’m Leslie Ayres, The REAL Job Search Guru, and I’ve been getting so many requests for individual coaching and advice lately, I’ve changed my schedule to carve out time to do personal one-on-one career and job-search coaching again. I feel great about it, too, because coaching people in the ins and outs of job searches, and helping get them back on track to what they really want out of their life, lights me up. It’s what I love best, and it’s how I get to help make the world a happier place, one person at a time. I’ve missed it over the last few years when I’ve been concentrating on executive search and finishing my book. I love personal coaching. One on one. Just you and me, talking about your most pressing concerns as you move forward in your job search. My twenty-one years experience as an executive recruiter, job-search and career coach, have taught me what it takes to get jobs, whether you’re talking about the corporate world or the counterculture, looking at the top of the ladder or the bottom, and in boom times and bust. I know how jobs are filled and what jobseekers need to do to stand out. On top of that is my no-bull, honest and human approach, and my driving passion that we all deserve to live lives that we love. I want you to have work that makes you feel great about your life, and want to share my expertise in order to help you get it. It is from this place of realism combined with inspiration that my coaching comes. My goal is always to give you meaningful real-world input and positive uplifting advice to guide you in moving forward toward the job and life you truly want.
Whatever your situation, you just can’t underestimate the value of a little quality time with an expert to get yourself on track with your job search or career change. So if you’re feeling stuck or confused in your job search, desperate for a career change but don’t know how to get from where you are to where you want to be, want to know how your resume stacks up against the competition and how you can make it more powerful, or are ready to create a strategy for getting the job of your dreams, this is your chance. What would you like to get an expert’s advice about? Some coaching sessions focus almost entirely on creating a resume that shows your personality, and some are much more about how to get motivated and get a fresh attitude in a souring job search. Each session is unique, because every person is different, and where they are in their search is different.
30 minute personal phone session: $75
60 minute personal phone session: $150
First, you get a copy of my downloadable book Be Yourself & Get the Job (and Life) of Your Dreams! (a $29 value), so you can begin to work on your own with the questions and exercises in my coaching program. Your answers to some simple questions and easy daydreaming and reminiscing will give you the foundation for finding the job, and creating the life, you really want to have. Then you get a private one-hour personal phone session to help you incorporate what you’ve learned about yourself into your job-search strategy, so you have a valuable checklist of what you need to be looking for in your next job. After that, you have three additional 30-minute personal phone sessions to use as you ramp up your job search…. we can talk about cover letters, customizing your resume, interview planning, networking strategies… whatever you most need. I recommend beginning by doing the workbook on your own over the course of a week, and then spreading your coaching calls a week apart, though we’ll make the schedule work for you. This package saves you $55 over separate individual session pricing, and gives you a major one-month jump-start that will empower you in your job change beyond your expectations. For real. Be Yourself Book Bonus Book Bonus: Add Be Yourself & Get the Job (and Life) of Your Dreams! The heart of my approach to finding the job that gives you the life you want is captured in my workbook Be Yourself & Get the Job (and Life) of Your Dreams! This book guides you through a series of questions and exercises that reveal the secrets to what will make you happy in your job and career, which is a big part of what will make you happy in life. You will define your vision of what you want to be doing and how you want your life to unfold. I’m a big fan of the power of what you’ll learn about yourself through these exercises and I strongly suggest investing a little time and money to do this step before anything else. What you learn about yourself and what you really want will give you a new focus and grounding for what to look for in your next job. The workbook has been designed as a do-it-yourself exploration, and for many people, it’s all you need. You can learn more about it here. Payment and Small Print Time slots for personal coaching are limited, of course, and are in the late weekday afternoons or early evening, Pacific time. To schedule time with me, or to ask any questions you might have about working together, use the form below to send me an email. Tell me what you'd like to talk about, and whether you want to book 30 minutes, an hour or a package. I'll get back to you by email within 48 business hours (probably much sooner, but I don't work weekends or holidays) with some possible times, and with some additional questions for you to prepare for our conversation, so we can make the most out of our time together. Payment must be made through Paypal at the time of booking in order to secure your appointment time. When we confirm the time, I'll send you an easy link to process the payment. Then, you'll call me at your appointment time, and you will have my undivided attention, years of expertise, honest opinions and advice focused on you, talking about whatever your most urgent need is to move you forward in your job-search, career or life.

Want to talk to an expert? Personal advice from The REAL Job Search Guru is now just a phone call away.
Whatever your most pressing question is, we can talk about that. I like to do things the simplest way possible, so my consulting and coaching services are done by phone, by appointment. We’ll focus on whatever is most important to you in our call… it’s your time and you will have my undivided attention. Before we talk, I’ll ask you to provide some background information about your current situation, what you are hoping to do, and where you’re feeling stuck. Then we’ll be on the same page and be able to hone in on you as efficiently as possible.
A 30-minute session is enough to address your single most pressing question, which might be how to tailor your resume for a specific job or market, how to incorporate what you learned doing the exercises my book, how to craft a cover letter that will get your resume read, or hashing out a few get-started strategies for making a career change. It can be as general as “how does my resume stack up?” or as specific as “how can I get an interview on this specific job?” and we can cover it in 30 minutes. 
An hour allows a broader look, and is perfect for really getting your resume refined and on track, for getting a much more in-depth picture of what direction you want to take next and creating a plan for how to get there. An hour is the ideal amount of time for launching (or re-launching) your job search, or for turning around and breathing new air into a search that’s lost its focus.
