Job Search Coach - Part Time - PST

About Respiris

Respiris, founded by Angel Cruzado, is transforming the outplacement assistance industry through a managed marketplace model similar to Uber, Airbnb, Empowerly, or Upwork. Our mission is to provide individuals navigating job loss with personalized career coaching, leveraging deep empathy, community, and artificial intelligence to guide them through their transitions.

The name Respiris reflects our goal to re-inspire job seekers. It’s also a personal connection to Angel’s daughter, Iris, symbolizing the deep care that drives the company’s work. After offering free career coaching to individuals and companies for years, Angel built Respiris to scale this impactful work. With experience spanning both early-stage companies and large publicly traded corporations like Microsoft, Medtronic, Fidelity Investments, and T-Mobile, Angel brings a wealth of knowledge to Respiris as it disrupts the last mile of the employee lifecycle.

Position Overview

As a Job Search Coach at Respiris, you will use your personal and professional experiences to support individuals through one of the most challenging times in their careers: job loss. Your role involves coaching clients through deep empathy, helping them rediscover their purpose, and assisting with resume and LinkedIn preparation. You will also guide them in launching their Career Prayer™, which activates their professional network to create new opportunities, all while leveraging a range of advanced software tools to streamline the process.

This role is ideal for professionals who already have full-time jobs and are looking to earn additional income through a side hustle. You will work with 4-6 clients weekly, providing personalized coaching to help them navigate their transitions. While this position offers supplemental income, it is not a full-time role and is unlikely to become one. The compensation is meant to support personal goals like saving for a college tuition fund, a Bermuda vacation, or even a Tesla.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide one-on-one coaching and support for individuals in their job search.
• Use the Respiris Method, which combines empathy and purpose, to help clients rediscover their professional calling.
• Guide clients through resume development, LinkedIn profile optimization, company insights, and interview preparation.
• Help clients launch their Career Prayer™, activating their network to uncover job opportunities.
• Leverage tools like LinkedIn Recruiter, Pitchbook, Crunchbase, and other software platforms to identify job opportunities for clients.
• Collaborate with the Respiris community to continually improve coaching methods and share insights.
• Foster a positive, supportive environment where clients feel empowered and confident in their job search journey.

• Education: Bachelor’s degree from a top 50 national university (advanced degrees such as MD, PhD, MBA, MS, or Masters are a plus).
• Experience: Demonstrated transferable life and work experiences that equip you to excel as a Job Search Coach, with a strong ability to contribute to a growing startup by helping build its marketplace and enhance its operational processes. Prior experience in private equity and venture capital, from Seed through Series E, is a big plus.
• Availability: Must have daytime availability to work with impacted employees.
• Passion: A demonstrated passion for deep empathy, community, and artificial intelligence.
• Communication Skills: Exceptional oral and written communication skills.
• Planning and Dedication: Ability to plan around deadlines and commit to client service for 3-4 months at a time.
• Functional Experience: Extensive experience working within a function such as marketing, finance, engineering, or operations.
• Coaching Aspirations: Experience in or desire to work to build manager capability within a coaching or mentorship role.
• Collaboration: Strong ability to work across companies, communities, groups, etc. effectively.

Benefits

• Flexible Schedule: Manage your own schedule, with work based on client needs and assignments.
• Side Hustle Income: Supplemental income that can help with personal goals like college tuition, vacation, or a Tesla—but it’s not designed to replace a full-time salary.
• Advanced Technology: Access to state-of-the-art AI-driven platforms and tools, including AI Tools, to enable the job search process.
• Community Engagement: Become part of a network of professionals committed to mutual success and collective growth.
• Career Development: Collaborate with industry leaders and gain valuable experience in career transition services.
