8. Assess their availability: Consider the coach's availability and scheduling flexibility, as well as their willingness to provide ongoing support as needed.
    

9. Determine their fees: Career coaching fees can vary widely, so make sure to discuss fees and payment arrangements upfront. Look for coaches who are transparent about their fees and who offer affordable rates.
    

10. Trust your instincts: Finally, trust your instincts when choosing a career coach. Look for someone whom you feel comfortable working with, and who you believe can help you achieve your goals.
