Frequently Asked Questions

How can CoreTactic help me build a resume that passes Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS)?

We guide you to create resumes that are both human-friendly and ATS-compliant. That means optimizing with relevant keywords, using clean formatting, structuring sections for easy parsing, and tailoring each resume version for the job you’re applying to. Clients often see better recruiter response rates within weeks.

What is life coaching, and how is it different from career or business coaching?

Life coaching focuses on your overall well-being, values, and fulfillment—not just work or income. Career coaching zeroes in on your job path and professional identity, while business coaching concentrates on growth and strategy. Life coaching integrates mindset, relationships, and purpose with your career and business path for lasting success.

If I already have a business idea, how does CoreTactic help me validate it before launching?

We reduce risk by guiding you through market research, hypothesis testing, minimum viable product (MVP) design, financial modeling, and customer feedback loops. This process prevents wasted effort and ensures your business launches with data-driven confidence.

What kinds of results can I expect from career coaching with CoreTactic, and in what timeframe?

Results often include clearer direction, improved resumes and LinkedIn profiles, more interviews, stronger offers, and faster transitions. Many clients see tangible progress in 4–8 weeks, with momentum building significantly over 3–6 months.

How does business coaching with CoreTactic differ for a startup vs. an established company?

For startups, we focus on idea validation, lean marketing, and MVP development. For established companies, we emphasize scaling, leadership, team building, and process optimization. Every coaching plan is tailored to your stage and challenges.

What if I’m uncertain about what career or business I want to pursue? Can you help me find clarity?

Yes. We use assessments, reflection exercises, and structured exploration to uncover strengths, patterns, and passions. From there, we identify practical, viable directions that align with your goals and lifestyle. You don’t need to have the answers when you start—just openness to explore.

How much time should I expect to invest per week while working with a coach?

Typically 1 coaching session per week (60–90 minutes) and 2–4 hours of focused work or reflection. This structure ensures steady progress without overwhelming your schedule, and we adapt to your availability and goals.

How do you measure the success of a coaching engagement?

We establish key performance indicators (KPIs) such as job interviews, salary improvements, revenue growth, or milestone achievements. We also track qualitative shifts like confidence and clarity. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans adjusted to ensure measurable impact.

Can I combine business coaching and career coaching services?

Yes. Many clients pursue both career and business goals simultaneously. For example, an executive might launch a side business while advancing in their corporate role. We adapt coaching focus as your priorities evolve.

What type of clients do you typically work with, and who is best suited for CoreTactic coaching?

We partner with mid-career professionals, entrepreneurs, executives, and individuals seeking holistic success. If you’re ready to invest time, take consistent action, and want measurable results, you’ll find CoreTactic a strong fit. Transformation requires commitment, and we walk with you every step.
