Career Coaching

Are you a candidate looking for a job at a nonprofit or mission-based organization? Let our decades of experience running searches and interviewing candidates and working with nonprofits across the country benefit your search!

We know searching for the right job isn’t easy and we believe our advice, support, and ideas can help give your search a boost.

Rooted Edge Consulting is offering a free 20 minute career coaching calls with our Founder, Sarah Bennett, to hear more about what you are looking for and use that time for whatever is most helpful for you. After that, if we decide to work together we offer coaching calls and support with Sarah at a sliding scale of $50 to $125/ hour (you tell us what you can afford) and this work together can cover the following -- and more depending on your needs:

  • Feedback on your resume - how to shorten it, what’s most important to include, what recruiters are most likely looking for

  • Feedback on a cover letter/ application questions

  • Strategizing around your search, which could include: types of organizations to look at, ideas for contacts to talk to, where to focus your time, how tap into your networks, making introductions where possible to help expand your network.

  • Tips, advice, and practice (if helpful) interviewing, informational interviews, navigating the interview process

  • Helping you take a step back and figure out what type of work you want to do, what your best strengths are, and help you hone in on the type of positions to pursue.

  • Acting as a listening ear and supporter!

Most of our career coaching clients work with us for a handful of calls – or even just the first 20 minute free option. Others may want to work with us over their whole search. It's really up to you! Our services are aimed at giving your search a boost and thoughtful direction. Please note: We bill for hours spent prep/ research/ edits to materials -- which helps make our coaching as impactful as possible -- in addition to time on coaching calls.

Going forward, your name will be added to our network of candidates and we will keep you in mind for positions our clients are filling and roles we hear about from the nonprofits we are connected with. We hope we can work with you if you could use this type of support!

I’m so glad I reached out to Sarah for her candidate coaching support during a recent job search process. Sarah helped me clarify what I was looking for in a new role, did background research with her personal connections about my prospects, prepared me for two final-round interviews, and acted as a supportive sounding board as I negotiated an offer of employment. I’m very excited about the role I was able to secure with her support, and highly recommend Sarah as a coach to candidates at any stage in their career!
