Working with a Career Coach

Career Coaching can address a wide range of professional situations, from immediate job search needs to longer-term career planning and decision-making.

👉 Preparing for an Important Interview

Interview preparation focuses on communicating clearly, confidently, and strategically during high-stakes conversations. This may include preparation for first interviews, final rounds, panel interviews, executive interviews, or internal promotion discussions, along with support for refining responses, improving delivery, preparing for difficult questions, and strengthening overall presentation.

👉 Navigating a Layoff, Furlough, or Career Disruption

Career disruption counseling focuses on helping professionals regain structure, clarify next steps, and reposition themselves following an unexpected employment change. 

👉 Exploring a Career Change

Career Change is for professionals who are actively considering a new professional direction because their current role, field, or industry no longer aligns with their interests, goals, or long-term aspirations.

👉 Compensation and Offer Negotiation

Compensation counseling focuses on strategic preparation for salary negotiations, offer evaluation, counteroffers, promotion-related compensation discussions, severance review, title alignment, and more.

👉 Flexible Career Coaching for a Wide Range of Professional Needs

Career Coaching may also address promotion preparation, workplace communication challenges, leadership development, professional confidence, performance discussions, burnout, work-life balance concerns, stalled advancement, workplace transitions, or broader uncertainty around career direction.

Visiting 10 S. Riverside Plaza

The lobby at 10 S. Riverside Plaza offers a professional and welcoming setting for private in-person Career Coaching appointments in downtown Chicago.

Upon arrival, clients check in with reception on the 8th floor and may spend a few moments in the lobby until their assigned JobStars Career Coach arrives to greet them. From there, the session moves into a private meeting room for dedicated one-on-one coaching.

Travel and Logistics

For professionals commuting into the city, the office is conveniently located near both Ogilvie Transportation Center and Union Station.

Paid parking is also readily available nearby, with many garages offering reservable spaces through parking apps (approx $25).

A la carte in-person coaching sessions are 50 minutes in length.

Sessions are conducted by scheduled appointment only with a Chicago-based member of the JobStars Career Coaching team and are not intended for walk-in availability.

Between sessions, clients may continue communicating directly with their assigned Career Coach through written messaging in the dedicated JobStars customer portal, allowing conversations, follow-up questions, and coaching continuity to extend beyond the in-person meeting itself.

Why In-Person Matters (Now More Than Ever)

Many of the most important moments in professional life happen face to face. Interviews, networking conversations, promotion discussions, compensation negotiations, and leadership interactions all ultimately come down to how we communicate, connect, and present ourselves in front of other people.

That is what makes in-person Career Coaching so practical.

There is a difference between talking through a situation remotely and sitting across from another person in a professional environment where conversation feels more natural, feedback is immediate, and the experience more closely reflects how important workplace interactions actually unfold.

In Conclusion

In conclusion, I am pleased to be introducing in-person Career Coaching for professionals in Chicago.

When important things happen in your career, there’s tremendous value in sitting down with a knowledgeable, practical, and supportive Career Coach in a private, confidential environment. That’s why I’m excited about making this option available for Chicago professionals.
