Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Would you be able to offer a free consultation?
A: Yes. I offer a complimentary inquiry chat, provided you’ve had a chance to review this Q&A and explore my LinkedIn profile (where you’ll find additional information). This chat is to get acquainted, and it’s not a sales pitch. Please email me at alex@landingexpert.com and I will arrange a 30-minute Zoom meeting.

Payment methods:

Q: How many sessions do people usually do?
A: It depends. Some people have time for only one session. Most people opt for the package. Some are coming back for more, depending on when they last interviewed. Others come back for a quick refresher before an interview. A 60-minute refresher session is $240.
Q: When is payment due?
A: Payment is due before the session begins. Once we agree on a time, I’m happy to block time on my calendar, and the session is confirmed once payment is received.
Q: What’s your background?
A: I’ve been coaching for over 19 years and have worked with 1,800+ clients. I encourage you to ask about my experience; knowing who you’re working with is essential.
Q: Is the coaching customized?
A: Yes. We start with some universal best practices, like improving your video presence and body language, but then zero in on your industry, background, and target role. Whether you’re applying to Amazon, the FBI, or for a medical residency, we tailor everything accordingly.
Q: Will I get honest feedback or be treated like a number?
A: You’ll get honesty, respect, and a little humor. I share observations that may be new to you, insights your friends might think but never say out loud.
Q: Are you current with today’s job market trends?
A: I stay sharp. When not coaching, I read, research, write, and speak. I’ve published over 250 articles and blog posts (Business Insider, Entrepreneur, Personal Branding Blog, and more) and delivered over 500 presentations to groups of all sizes.
Q: How is coaching delivered?
A: All sessions are conducted virtually, primarily on Zoom.
Q: Do you offer flexible scheduling?
A: Yes. I regularly work weekdays and weekends to accommodate my clients’ needs.
Q: Is there a contract or long-term commitment?
A: No contract. No pressure. This is built on mutual trust, not legal paperwork.
Q: Do you offer general career coaching, too?
A: While 90% of my work is interview coaching, I also help with salary negotiations, LinkedIn strategy, resume guidance, and longer-term mentorship when requested.
Q: Tell me more about the free inquiry chat.
A: This is a short call of about 30 minutes to learn more about you, your goals, and what you’re looking for. It’s also your chance to ask questions. No pressure. No pitch.
If you’re curious or have additional questions, I welcome the opportunity to connect. I aim to help, not to convince.
Wow! Great website. Very informative.
Good Morning,
I’ve never really known what I want to do regarding a career. I’m currently employed but I need to leave my current employment situation as soon as possible. I’m here because I’m looking for ideas on possible careers based upon my previous experience. I’d love to pick your brain.
Daniel, there is help out there for people like you. Under the umbrella of career coaching my specialty is interview preparation and practice but there are people who specialize in precisely what you need, i.e. helping clients identify future employment options based on past skills, experience and jobs in demand. Daniel, I do not monitor this site so often therefore my suggestion is for you to continue our correspondence via my regular email at alex@landingexpert.com
Happy to help.
Alex
As a Career Counselor, I seek other coaches whose methodologies and focus are progressive and honest. I “met” Alex though a LinkedIn group of which we are both members. His posts were impressive and similar to the things I espouse. To make a potentially long story short, Alex is one of a small handful of career coaches I recommend in my own volunteer workshops. My description of him is, “Alex is probably the best interview coach I know.”
Cost? Consider the cost of being hired one, two, six months earlier than you might be otherwise. The “cost” of a coach like Alex Freund is a small investment into your future.
You cannot go wrong by adding Alex’s arrows to your job search quiver!
