Career Growth & Transition Coaching
“Lewis Coughlin helped me prepare for the job market and ultimately helped me get my current job at the Department of Justice. He began by polishing my resume and cover letters, as well as my LinkedIn profile. He ensured I focused on illustrating the skills and competencies I had developed through law school and previous jobs in my resume. The cover letter and LinkedIn profiles must tell a story and that’s what he helped me convey to the job market. Government job applications are different. This is where Lewis has over three decades of experience, having competed for various roles throughout the public service, primarily in international relations and security departments. We practiced by doing mock interviews. He prepared me for how to respond effectively to competency-based questions that are often part of the government selection process using the STAR method. This practice did not make me a perfect interviewer, but I was eons ahead of where I was before and I successfully entered the selection pool and landed my first professional job shortly thereafter. I would highly recommend Lewis to anyone looking for a job, whether senior or a recent grad. Lewis has experience in public service, international organizations, government relations, security / defence, and start-ups. He is kind, honest, dedicated and has a wealth of experience that he genuinely enjoys sharing.”
