Personalized Career Coaching

Are you considering a career move because of COVID-19 and feeling stuck? Do you know what you want but could use some help coming up with new strategies? Are you discouraged and need a job search partner? Our career coach, Claire, will provide guidance and resources accordingly.

Claire Marchiano is a NBCC Certified Career Counselor and former Career Center Coordinator at EASTBAY Works Concord, and brings a wide range of experiences working with clients of diverse backgrounds, education, fields and levels of experience.

She offers small group workshops every Thursday at the YWCA and personal, one-on-one career coaching sessions over the phone. Phone sessions are available Monday and Wednesday mornings, and other times available by arrangement. This session will be personalized to your needs!
