If you choose to seek out a job as a Health Coach within a company, you’ll need to go through the traditional job search and interview process. The good news is that advances in technology have made looking for a new job easier than ever before.

Potential employers use a number of different resources to advertise open positions. Each of these sources is a great way to find and apply for a new job, but we recommend utilizing a combination so you can be sure you don’t miss the perfect job for you!

    1. Online job sites. These are websites where businesses can post all of their open positions. Many even let you apply right through their site or they’ll direct you to the application requirements.We’ve listed our favorites below, but there are a lot of job sites out there, so make sure you complete a thorough search.
    2. Local websites and publications. Many newspapers and websites local to your community will have a section for job postings. This is an especially great option if you’d like a position with a company close to home.
    3. Staffing firms. Staffing firms help companies find ideal job candidates. Essentially, you “apply” with the staffing firm and they help match you to a company that’s looking for your specific skills and services. Oftentimes, these firms will also provide interview tips and other helpful support during your job search.
    4. Networking events and professional organizations. Speaking with other people in the industry is a great way to learn about potential job opportunities. Register for business and networking events, conferences, job fairs, online webinars, etc. You can find these events through a simple Google search or sites like Eventbrite and Meetup.When you sign up for professional coaching organizations, you’ll also find opportunities to meet other coaches and hear about job opportunities firsthand.
    5. Social media and LinkedIn. Social media gives you a chance to follow and connect with companies you’re interested in, and see company news and job openings they post online. You can also get a glimpse of the company culture and interact with current employees. LinkedIn is a social platform that’s specifically designed to help professionals get connected.You can build connections with Health Coaches and other healthcare professionals, share your professional experience, search for jobs, and even apply for the jobs that interest you.
    6. Company websites. Many businesses will post open positions on their own websites. Look for a “Careers” or “Job Opportunities” tab and you’ll find a job description, requirements, and instructions for applying.

Health Coaching Jobs From Home: Setting Yourself Up for Success

No matter where you are in your Health Coaching journey or what kind of career you want to build, you’ll want to make sure you’re prepared for the next steps! Here’s a brief rundown of everything you need to make sure you’re ready for anything.

Get prepared to strut your stuff. Make sure you have everything you need to show potential employers and clients that you’re well-trained and experienced. Update your coaching resume with your training, any experience or internships, and all relevant work experience. You should also update your website to reflect the same information and pull together any strong client testimonials you’ve gathered.

Be Technology Proficient. If you want to be an online Health Coach, you’ll need reliable technology! This includes fast internet and a reliable and up-to-date computer set up with the communication tools you need, like Skype, Zoom, and Google Hangouts. You’ll also need a cell phone or landline so clients can reach you for phone sessions.

Consider a Professional Space. A remote Health Coaching career provides you with flexibility like few other jobs, but you’ll still need to ensure you have a great space to work, whether it’s an in-home, rented, or shared office space. And be sure to set boundaries. When working remotely, it can be easy to fall into the trap of working all the time. Set standard work or office hours and stick to them! Also, ask the important people in your life to respect those working hours.
