Job loss & redundancy
Redundancy took the plan. Build the next one this week.
Losing a job hits your income, your routine and your sense of who you are, usually all in the same week. A Fresh Chapter coach helps you triage the money, build a search plan you can actually follow, and keep your head straight while you do it.
Every coach is identity-checked and credential-screened before they take a client.
What people bring to these sessions
- Working out how many months of runway you really have
- A weekly search rhythm instead of doomscrolling job boards
- Rewriting your story so the gap is not the headline
- Interview nerves, salary conversations and lowball offers
- Telling family and friends without dreading every question
- Deciding whether to change direction rather than repeat the last role
Coaching is practical and forward-looking — it is not therapy and it is not medical, legal or financial advice. Life and expat coaching is not regulated the same way. Coaches can work with you across borders by video call because they focus on goals, transitions and daily adjustments — never on diagnosing or treating a mental health condition.
What the first month looks like
- Step 1
Week 1 — money triage and a realistic runway number
- Step 2
Week 2 — a target list of roles and the people who can open doors
- Step 3
Week 3 — applications going out on a fixed schedule, with prep notes
- Step 4
Week 4 — interview practice and a decision rule for offers

Common questions
- Is a job loss coach the same as a career coach?
- There is overlap, but the focus is different. Career coaching plans the next ten years. Job loss coaching deals with the next ten weeks: cash flow, a search routine, and staying steady while the rejections come in.
- How quickly can I speak to someone?
- Matching takes about thirty seconds and is free. Most people book an intro session within a day or two of being matched, and intro sessions are priced at $49.
- I cannot afford this right now. What are my options?
- The free plan includes coach matching, community access and the tools, at no cost and with no card. Paid coaching is entirely optional and you see every rate before you book.
