Copeland Coaching offering web-based job hunting services
Entrepreneur Angela Copeland has launched Copeland Coaching, a career
counseling and training firm that offers services including
interviewing, negotiating and networking.
Copeland, who participated in the inaugural cohort of the Seed
Hatchery startup accelerator in 2011, has been involved in the career
coaching industry for nearly a decade. She specializes in personal
branding and maximizing Web-based platforms during job searches.
“I started coaching while attending graduate school at Pepperdine
University and my professors noticed that I looked for jobs differently
than the other students,” Copeland said. “They began referring students
and professionals to me for career coaching and I’ve continued to coach
informally since then, recently turning it into a business.”
In addition to opening her firm, Copeland has released an e-book
titled “Breaking the Rules and Getting the Job” that offers practical
advice for job seekers.

Mon Update: Copeland Coaching Launches
by Paul Ryburn
My good friend Angela Copeland is launching her new business, Copeland Coaching.
Angela has been mentoring job candidates for 9 years, and has shown job
seekers how to get to the head of the pack. Her e-book Breaking the Rules and Getting the Job
explains what to do. Angela is available for one-on-one mentoring,
interview preparation, and resume tune-up. Angela was one of the
organizers of the Memphis to Moore fundraiser that raised over $25,000
for the Moore Public Schools that were devastated by tornadoes. I have
known Angela for over 10 years and have worked with her on many projects
for MPACT Memphis, and I recommend her highly.

After career coaching informally for 9 years, I’m launching my own practice: Copeland Coaching. I provide assistance at all stages of the job-search process — including networking, interviewing and negotiation — and am available for those seeking a career change at all levels. I specialize in personal branding online, leveraging the Internet in your search, and creative job searching in a down economy.
I started coaching while attending graduate school at Pepperdine University. My professors noticed that I looked for jobs differently than the other students. They began referring students and professionals to me for career coaching, and would also ask me to give presentations on job-seeking skills. I’ve continued to coach informally since then, and recently felt called to turn it into a business.

Even more exciting, I’m launching a new e-book that I’ve written, Breaking The Rules & Getting The Job. The book provides practical, useful advice for those looking to improve their job-seeking outcomes. It is officially being released today and can be purchased on CopelandCoaching.com here.
For more information or to sign up with Copeland Coaching, contact me here.
Thank you to all of my wonderful friends who have supported me in my launch!
Happy hunting,
Angela
