[quote=Anonymous]In my experience (as a lawyer), career coaches and recruiters are distinct. A coach works for you in helping identify your career goals, and strategize to reach those goals, which may include resume rewriting, "mock" interviewing, and recommendations on networking. A great coach will be familiar with the market where you are located. In contrast, a recruiter is paid by a company if it hires you. If you're not sure what work you want to do, then working with a recruiter isn't necessarily going to help you. I used a recruiter when I moved to CA from MA and knew that I wanted to work in a specific practice area in a law firm. I worked with a coach in 2011 when I wanted to transition from big law to a something else, and then again when I moved from CA to DC when I was tailoring my resume and job search.[/quote]
