I'm Jermaine Wellington. I spent 5 years as a Director of Recruitment and Onboarding, so I know what a panel listens for, the follow-up questions it asks, and why good people still get passed over. One-to-one coaching on evenings and weekends.
Pricing is tailored to your needs and shared when we talk. Free if you are in Canada on a study or work permit. I reply on weekday evenings after 7pm and on weekends, and there is no obligation.

Late career · 20 years or more
Look current, not overqualified.
After 20 years of good work, the questions are rarely the hard part. The hard part is a panel, sometimes younger than you, quietly wondering whether you will adapt, whether you will stay, and whether you cost too much. We work on that directly: a resume that shows the last 10 to 15 years first, how you talk about new tools and AI, how to answer “aren't you overqualified?”, and how to turn a long career into a few stories a panel can follow.

Questions people ask
How much does interview coaching cost?
Pricing is tailored to what you need, because every search is different: how many sessions, which package, and how soon your interview is. It is shared during your consultation. Send a short message or book a free 20-minute call, and I will go through the options and the price with you. Coaching is free for people in Canada on a study or work permit.
Is coaching really free for study and work permit holders?
Yes. If you are in Canada on a study permit or a work permit, coaching is free. Tick the box on the contact form or say so in your message.
Do sessions happen in person?
Sessions run by video, so you can work with me from anywhere in Canada. They take place on weekday evenings and on weekends.
Do I need an interview booked to start?
No. Many people start while they are still applying. If you do have an interview coming up, say so in your message and we will work on that role first.
Will coaching get me a job with one of your clients?
Coaching is separate from recruiting. Coaching is never a fee for placement: employers pay placement fees, candidates never do, and buying coaching does not decide whether you are put forward for a role.
Who will I be working with?
Me, Jermaine Wellington. I spent 5 years as a Director of Recruitment and Onboarding, hold a BHRM and an Ontario recruiter licence, and run Wells Talent & Co in Barrie.
