Our Comprehensive Job Coaching Approach

Professional job coaching that builds confidence, clarity, and employability. Coach 1st makes bespoke, expert, and success-focused coaching accessible to all, empowering individuals to navigate redundancy, unemployment, or career change with wisdom and purpose.

Empowering You to Move Forward

At Coach 1st, we believe finding work is more than a job search , it’s a journey of rediscovery, confidence, and purpose.

Too many people experiencing redundancy or unemployment are disadvantaged by the high costs of traditional outplacement services. We believe price should never determine the quality or quantity of support available to those who need it most.

Our coaching combines real-world market expertise with empathy and structure, helping clients rebuild belief, apply proven strategies, and move forward positively.

Our Five-Stage Job Coaching Framework

Each stage of our process blends practical tools with reflective coaching to create measurable, lasting results.

Stage 1 — Clarity and Direction

We start by helping you define who you are, what you offer, and where you want to go.
Focus: self-awareness, transferable skills, motivation, and purpose.

Stage 2 — CV and Personal Branding

Your story is your strength. We help you build a CV, LinkedIn profile, and personal narrative that highlight your authentic value focused on you and your achievements.
Focus: CV optimisation, digital presence, and personal impact.

Stage 3 — Applications and Job Search Strategy, Accessing the Hidden Job Market

Learn how to job search efficiently and strategically using modern tools, recruiter insights, and market knowledge. Most importantly access the 80% of jobs not advertised.
Focus: search structure, opportunity targeting, and accountability.

Stage 4 — Interview Confidence and Communication

Through preparation and coaching, we help you develop the confidence and clarity to present yourself effectively at every stage of selection.
Focus: storytelling, interview technique, mindset, and resilience.

Stage 5 — Transition and Sustainability

Our support continues after you’ve secured a role. We help you settle, reflect, and build the confidence to sustain long-term success.
Focus: onboarding, growth planning, and self-leadership.
