To help us tailor the session to your needs and give you the most effective feedback, it’s important to come prepared. Here’s how you can get the best results:
- Share your goals: Let the coach know what you’re aiming for. Are you targeting your first human rights role, looking to transition into a new area, or trying to move to a more senior position? Your goals help shape the advice we give.
- Be Specific About the Role(s) You’re Targeting: If there’s a specific job you’re applying for – or a few types of roles you’re exploring – please share the job description(s) or a summary of the kind of positions you’re seeking. The more we know about the role, the better we can tailor your CV and cover letter to highlight relevant experience and language.
- Provide Context on Your Experience: Tell us a bit about your background. Have you worked in human rights before, or are you pivoting from another sector? What kind of work have you done that you want to highlight?
