Four questions to ask at a job interview

 |  1 Comment
 |  careers, finding your brave

The thing about job interviews is – they’re for the candidate too. You’re not there to talk someone into giving you a job. You’re there to decide if the job is right for you. Asking questions is a big way […]

The excellent GHD Online community has just published a nice summary page of advice and approached for finding a global health job. I’d also suggest subscribing to at least one of their communities if you are interested in global health.

 |  careers, finding your brave

Networking isn’t about the people you know well. There just aren’t enough people you know well. It’s about the people you kind of know. The colleague from another department three jobs ago. The intern you supervised in summer 2004. A […]

What Clients Are Saying

“Alanna’s direct yet humane approach comforted me. Her knowledge helped me understand my behavior. Her concrete advice helped me develop actionable steps towards managing my emotions and becoming more assertive.”

“I approached Alanna to help me make a decision at a major professional crossroads. I was ready to leave the organization where I had spent all of my public health career, but I wasn’t completely sure what I wanted to do next, or frankly even how to make that decision…Alanna’s direct yet kind approach helped me discard some of my own deeply entrenched ideas about what the “right” move for me would be, and on a more tactical level helped me quickly eliminate some options that just wouldn’t be a right fit.

My sessions with her helped give me both the clarity to pursue a new professional opportunity, as well as some concrete tools to help me manage the difficulties I faced as I wrapped up my former role.”

Three ways you’re stuck

A feeling of being “stuck” is one of the most common reasons people start working with a coach. Three frequent causes: You’re asking the wrong question I get clients all the time who feel stuck; they desperately want to do […]
