Claire French
Principal Career Coach
I began my career facing many rejections and a challenging job market. This experience taught me the importance of resilience, focusing on my strengths and learning new skills along the way. As a working mum, I left a 12-year career I had built from the ground up, and when it was time to return to the workforce, I faced the decision to either go back to what I knew or reinvent myself.
A few years later, I moved to a new country with no local experience, which was one of the hardest but best decisions I’ve made. It ultimately led me to Careerfit46, where I now focus on helping others navigate their career journeys.
With experience in recruitment, leadership, and coaching across two recessions, the GFC, and a global pandemic, I’ve supported individuals in aligning their skills and aspirations with their careers. I’m a Certified Coach with the ICF and hold a diploma in life coaching, achieving excellence with the New Zealand Institute of Business Studies. To date, I’ve helped over 500 clients, delivering personalized coaching and group programs focused on career development and resilience.
Joseph Zapata
Career Coach
Like many, my career has navigated through challenging job markets, which has given me valuable insights into the complexities of career development and recruitment in today’s world. Having a background in Psychology and experience in Recruitment, Talent Acquisition and Career Advising, with my background, I bring a human-centred approach to everything I do. I love to work with people and learn from them.
My focus is on helping people grow, stand out, and succeed in the workforce. I believe in creating a safe, supportive environment where individuals can explore their strengths, clarify their career goals, and make decisions that align with both their personal and professional aspirations. Whether I’m advising job seekers or supporting organisations, I’m passionate about helping people thrive in their careers, focusing on both their skills and personal growth.
Claudia Chafloc
Career Coach
Starting in a new place, it’s common to feel like everything works differently, and I’ve certainly experienced that myself. One of the aspects I enjoy most is helping clients navigate this transition, understanding what’s expected of them and how to highlight the best of their skills and experiences. My approach is all about providing genuine, tailored support because I know how essential it is to feel supported during a period of change.
With a background in Psychology and experience in Recruitment, Talent Acquisition, and Career Coaching, my main focus has always been to help people feel more confident and supported. I specialise in guiding individuals through their job search, helping them take their first or next career step with confidence, and believing that with the right guidance and support, everyone can unlock their full potential and achieve their career aspirations.
