DOT.COM FALLOUT CREATES DEMAND FOR ONLINE CAREER COACHING SERVICES
DENVER, CO -- February 22, 2001 -- John McLaughlin, a nationally known Career Coach for over twenty years, today announced the formal launch of his website, www.CareerCoach.net, to provide online coaching services to a rapidly growing number of unemployed American workers. Many so-called "Dot.Commers" who needed a financial coach during the unprecedented economic expansion of the last decade are now hitching their star to the services of a career coach, says McLaughlin. "As an organizational consultant, I have recently been inside three dot.com era companies that have either closed, merged or had what seemed like unlimited venture money suddenly shut off, resulting in over 1,000 employees losing their jobs -- and that's just in Denver." This trend is being repeated nationally as daily announcements of downsizing and "rightsizing," affecting tens of thousands of employees, fill the business news.
John McLaughlin, who has been acknowledged as a job-search and career management expert, notes that many job searchers today have never written a resume, and didn't need to in an economy where Headhunters would call incessantly with the offer of the week. "That bubble has burst and now it is critical that they have a resume product that will get them in the door and presentation skills that will win out over the competition," said McLaughlin. His website, CareerCoach.net, offers a variety of resume, job search and career coaching packages that give job-seekers the competitive edge.
McLaughlin is known for his ability to provide fast, effective results working with individuals to help them achieve their career or self-employment goals. This includes moving back into a corporate position, starting or buying a business, or starting a consulting practice. He has prepared hundreds of Job Search Plans in almost every field and helps prepare a "Career Management Plan" after the outplaced employee lands in their new job. A key is helping people really figure out "what they want to be when they grow up."
As a founding partner in his own nationally recognized management consulting firm, John has extensive experience working with major national and regional organizations. With a dynamic consulting team, he and his partner successfully built and then sold the company to a national firm. Concluding that assignment John established a private consulting practice, McLaughlin Executive Network, focusing on executive outplacement, career and executive coaching and organizational consulting. "CareerCoach.net is a new and exciting addition to my current consulting offerings," added McLaughlin.
In conclusion, McLaughlin added, "It's been a good run; built and sold a consulting practice, provided consulting services to hundreds of companies and thousands of individuals, co-authored a couple of job-search books for Prentice Hall in the eighties, had a radio talk show (Career Talk), produced a TV show (Career Challenge) and had the satisfaction of helping a lot of people through a difficult time in their lives. I now want to use the power of the Internet to expand my ability to partner with people all across America who could use a little help with their job-search and career/life planning."
