PSA: That LinkedIn career coach I paid $200 actually gave me useful advice
I was sure it was a scam after my first call, but she pointed out my resume had too much jargon and got me a second interview. Has anyone else had a good experience with a paid career coach after being skeptical?

...and honestly the jargon thing is such a trap because you think it makes you sound smart but hiring managers just get annoyed trying to read it. I went through the same skepticism a few years back, paid someone $150 to basically tell me my resume looked like a robot wrote it. The real trick is finding a coach who actually interviews you instead of just selling a template, because the good ones will ask the annoying questions that make you rethink how you talk about your own experience. If they push back on your answers during the mock interview, that's actually a green flag, means they're not just collecting your money.

Exactly, when a coach pushes back like that it means they actually see you as a real person not just a paycheck.
