Hi deago, 

Congratulations on your recent graduation!

Searching for a job fresh out of college can be a confusing and
sometimes worrisome task.  Many "career counseling" services take
advantage of this, and charge often outrageous sums for help that you
can obtain elswhere for free.  They'll help you create your resume,
learn interviewing skills, and polish your strengths [
http://www.careercc.org/doforme.html ], but you can expect to pay
upwards of $15 an hour for their services [
http://www.careercc.org/faq.html ].

Not the specific answer I had asked for. I could have went on the net
and found out the same info.

Hello deago,

I have personal experience with one career coach that is top notch in
my book.  Her name is Janice Worthington and has many years of
experience in the career industry, both as a corporate recruiter and
as a career consultant.  She is a Certified Professional Resume Writer
and has many accolades to her credit.

More to the point is what she did for me personally.  After searching
for a new job for about nine months I decided that I wasn't getting
responses for a reason that had nothing to do with my ability.  I did
some web searches and found a few consultants that I wanted to check
out.  Some of them did not return my calls or emails for weeks.  This
was on a Saturday afternoon.  On Sunday I received a phone call from
Janice.  I knew that I had found a dedicated professional, but more
importantly a sincere person who truly likes to help people.  I
received a questionnaire related to my industry and experience level. 
Not long after returning it to Janice I received a polished resume and
cover letter.

The test was a company that I had been eyeing and had already applied
to with my own resume.  I submitted my ASCII resume online to this
company on a Friday afternoon around 4:30.  By 6:00pm I received an
email from the company for an interview.  Amazing.

Janice also provided interview training where we had a small workshop
with three or four people.  We talked about how to handle different
questions and what answers employers would be expecting.  Before I
went to any interview I already knew most of the questions that could
conceivably be asked...and more importantly I had already decided what
my answers would be.

I got other interveiw requests and finally accepted a director level
position.
This is my personal testimony to her wonderful personality and
service.

Please visit her website and email her directly.

I hope that this helps.
