Should Job Seekers Pay for These Services?
There are tons of great free resources available today for job seekers. Hesitation to pay for services while lacking an ongoing income is certainly understandable.
Job search coaching pricing is similar to paying for premium services on Linkedin or job boards for two months or less. It is a service with a potential for a significant return on investment.
An individual job seeker and their family must decide if they are confident in their ability to manage the job search process on their own or if outside help is necessary.

Decision to Make
Job seekers should always seek out as many resources as possible. With the variety available today, professional coaching may not be necessary. Personal reflection is essential in making this determination.
Those unemployed for extended periods of time should consider seeking outside help as not to prolong the search longer than necessary. Having another set of eyes on your job search can only help.
