Not necessarily! Many of our coaches offer sessions via Zoom or Teams, in French or English. For in-person sessions, we have coaches based across Lyon Part-Dieu, Confluence, Villeurbanne, and throughout the wider Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
We – the coach matching experts here at Career Coach Directory – have helped hundreds of people find a career coach and it’s no surprise we get so many requests when you consider how much time people spend at a job they hate – or even worse, don’t have (i.e. they’re unemployed).
So the job (pun intended) of a career coach is to help you find a job – but not just any job – a job you love. A career coach does this by offering a range of services. On one end of the spectrum is the personal development side of career coaching that helps you answer the big questions in life such “what are you passionate about?”, “What do you really want to do?” and “What career legacy do you want to leave behind?”.
On the other end of the career coaching spectrum are the technical job searching services such as CV writing, preparing for interviews, and developing job searching skills.
Career coaching rates in France vary depending on experience, specialisation, and session format. Sessions typically range from €80 to €250+ per session, with package rates available.
