The Job Search Genie's Wisdom: A Conversation with Linda Gutin
Description
In this Career Coaching Secrets episode, host Rexhen interviews Linda Gutin, known as the "job search genie" and a resume rockstar. With almost three decades of experience, Linda blends humor and expertise to help clients craft compelling career stories.
Linda's path to coaching began with resume writing, evolving through a Master's in Organizational Psychology which taught her to extract "cha-ching" – quantifiable achievements. She finds it most rewarding to teach clients "How to Be a Better Bragger," empowering them to articulate their value.
Her primary clients are women in sales and marketing, though she serves a diverse range. Engagements are typically three months, and she's developing group programs like "How to Be a Better Bragger" for scalability.
Word-of-mouth and LinkedIn are her main client sources. Linda's biggest challenge is the administrative and tech side of business, as she prefers client-facing work. Her advice to other coaches: "Just start" and focus on what you love to do most.
