Guide for career coaches

Career coach? Want more clients without showing your face?

You help people find work they don't dread on Monday. Here is how to help them find you: short videos with one career tip each, posted on YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Reels. No camera, no editor, no editing skills. This page gives you the prompt, 30 video ideas and a ready first script.

5 watermark-free videos a day, freeNo card74 languages

We get it

You're a career coach, not a video editor. You don't need to become one.

You can hear a bad answer to "tell me about yourself" from the first sentence, and you've rewritten more CVs than you can count. But video probably felt like a different job: cameras, lights, timelines, cutting, captions, music. So it stayed on the "someday" list.

With jajavideo you write (or let AI write) what you want to say. That's it. The built-in director splits it into scenes, picks a visual for every sentence, adds a natural voice-over, music and animated captions. You don't need to be a good speaker or writer either. The prompt on this page writes the scripts from your coaching expertise. You just check that the advice is right.

Why video works for career coaches

People hire a career coach they've already heard. Video lets them hear you first.

Job seekers and career changers are nervous before they ever book a call. A short, useful tip shows them what working with you feels like, and how you explain things.

Trust before the discovery call

Someone who watched ten of your tips already knows how you think about interviews and job search. The call becomes a conversation instead of a pitch.

You stand out in a crowded field

Plenty of coaches post motivational quotes. Very few explain the actual mechanics of a good answer, a strong CV or a salary conversation. Specific tips, posted steadily, put you ahead.

Show how you coach

Your voice, your examples, your calm way of breaking a problem down. A short video is a sample session for someone deciding whether to reach out.

Reach people outside your network

Most of your clients come from referrals and LinkedIn. Shorts put you in front of people searching for interview help, career change or salary advice who have never heard of you.

Title: Career tip: the "biggest weakness" answer that loses the offer
When an interviewer asks your biggest weakness, most people say they work too hard or care too much. Interviewers hear that answer every week and it tells them nothing. Here is what works instead. Pick a real, small weakness that isn't central to the job, then say what you changed because of it. For example: "I used to over-prepare every meeting. I now send a short agenda the day before, so the meeting is shorter and everyone comes ready." That answer shows self-awareness and follow-through, which is what they're really testing.

Copy, paste, done

The career coach prompt: 10 expert scripts in one go

Fill in your details. The prompt updates as you type. Copy it into any AI chat and paste the answer straight into jajavideo.

Prompt for Claude · ChatGPT · Gemini
You are an expert short-form video scriptwriter and an experienced career coach. Write 10 scripts for faceless YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Reels for a career coach.

About me:
- Name or practice: [YOUR NAME OR PRACTICE]
- City or market: online, no specific location
- My ideal clients: job seekers and recent graduates
- My focus: interviews and job search
- Language of the scripts: English

Rules for every script:
1. Teach ONE specific, practical career tip that my clients can understand and act on today. No generic motivation like "Believe in yourself and you'll get hired".
2. The first sentence is the hook: a common job-search mistake, a myth, or a real question my clients ask. It must keep the viewer watching past the first 3 seconds.
3. 90 to 130 words of flowing spoken narration (about 30 to 50 seconds). Plain language, short sentences. No jargon without a one-line explanation. No scene directions, emojis, lists or headings.
4. Include one concrete detail: a number, an example sentence, a field name, a real situation.
5. Only advice that is accurate and safe today. No promises of jobs, interviews, salaries or results. Never guarantee an outcome.
6. End with this sentence: "Want help with your next step? Search [YOUR NAME OR PRACTICE] on Google.". Write any website as words, for example "example dot com".
7. Each script covers a different topic. Mix mistakes, myths, client questions, quick how-tos, interviews, CVs, career change and salary talks.

Format (follow exactly):
- Start each script with one line: Title: [topic]: [hook]. The title is not read aloud.
- Then the narration as one paragraph.
- After each script, a line that contains only AAA.

Output only the 10 scripts in this format, nothing before or after. I will paste them straight into jajavideo.

Title: Career tip: the "biggest weakness" answer that loses the offerWhen an interviewer asks your biggest weakness, most people say they work too hard or care too much. Interviewers hear that answer every week and it tells them nothing. Here is what works instead. Pick a real, small weakness that isn't central to the job, then say what you changed because of it.

Video 2 · Why your CV gets ignored in seven seconds

Read the script

Title: Career tip: why your CV gets ignored in seven secondsA recruiter spends about seven seconds on the first pass of your CV. Not seven minutes, seven seconds. In that time they look at one thing: does the top of this page match the job? If your first section is an objective like "seeking a challenging role", they learn nothing and move on. Replace it with two lines that say what you do and one result. For example: "Customer support team lead, cut average response time from two days to four hours." Put that under your name, before your address and your old jobs. One edit, and the recruiter knows in three seconds why they should keep reading. Want a free CV check?

Video 3 · Stuck in your job? Do this before you quit

Read the script

Title: Career change: what to do before you hand in your noticeBefore you quit a job you've outgrown, do one thing first: test the new direction with real people. Most career changers jump straight to courses and certificates, then find out months later that the work isn't what they imagined. Instead, find three people who already do the job you're considering and ask each for fifteen minutes. Ask what a normal Tuesday looks like, what they wish they'd known, and what they'd tell someone starting now. Those three conversations cost you an hour and can save you a year. Write down what surprised you, and notice what you keep hearing. That's your real data. Want help making the change? Search ClearPath Career Coaching on Google.

  9. Ask your network for introductions without feeling awkward
  10. Make a 90-day plan for a new role

Your coaching instinct applies here too

What makes a career Short get watched

Think of it like a first session. The first sentence is your opening question, and it decides whether the client stays in the room.

The first 3 seconds are your opening question

Start with the mistake, the myth or the client question. If the first sentence doesn't make someone think "that's me", nothing after it is seen.

Title as Topic: hook

"Career tip: why your CV gets ignored in seven seconds" tells the viewer and the platform exactly who it's for.

One tip per video

Same rule as one goal per session. Three tips in 40 seconds means none of them sticks.

Help first, credit last

No "Book a free call to find your dream job!" openers. The tip earns attention. Your name in the last line earns the follow-up search.

Use real client moments, anonymised

The question a client asked last week is usually the question a thousand viewers are too shy to ask. Change the details and make it a video.

Make a batch, post at your pace

You tell clients a job search takes weeks, not one evening. An audience works the same way. You don't have to post daily: make a set in one sitting and schedule them so one goes live each week.

Think bigger

More than marketing: new ways to earn with video

When a finished video costs you a couple of minutes, video stops being a cost and becomes something you can sell.

Add "a video every week" to your coaching packages

Your clients need to be visible while they job search, and most of them dread posting. Offer weekly Shorts as an add-on: you write the tips with the prompt, jajavideo makes the videos, and you deliver them under the client's name. Commercial use is included on every plan, and on Unlimited you can put your own logo on the videos.

Example: 5 clients × 8 videos a month = 40 videos
Your cost on Unlimited: $27 a month in total
Your price: whatever 8 videos a month is worth to your clients

Video for outplacement and HR clients

Companies going through restructuring need to help people move on. Offer a set of short job-search videos under the company's brand.

Turn one workshop into a month of Shorts

Record your interview workshop notes, then paste the key points into the prompt. One session becomes ten scripts, each one a small lesson.

Coach clients in their own language

Clients moving to a new country, or applying to international companies? Make their practice tips in Spanish, Japanese or Arabic. jajavideo speaks 74 languages, so you can offer what most coaches can't.

A free video as your discovery call follow-up

After a first chat, send a short video answering the exact question the person asked. It's more memorable than a PDF and it shows your work in seconds.

Never made a video before? Start here

Every question a first-timer asks, answered

You've never edited a video and never used a system like this. That's fine. Most people who use jajavideo hadn't either. Pick any question below. Can't find yours? Ask Jaja, our agent.

Getting started

I have never edited a video in my life. Can I really do this?

Yes. You never open an editing program, never cut anything and never touch a timeline. You paste text into a box, pick a voice, and press Generate. jajavideo does every video step for you: it splits your text into scenes, picks a picture or clip for every sentence, records the voice-over, adds music and puts animated captions on screen. If you can copy and paste, you can make a video.

What exactly do I need before I start?

Three things: an email or Google account to sign up, a few sentences about a career topic (or the prompt on this page to write them), and a few minutes. No camera, microphone, software, design skills or credit card.

How do I sign up?

Go to jajavideo.com and press "Continue with Google". It takes about 10 seconds. You can also sign up with an email address. No card is asked for.

What's the very first thing I should do after I sign up?

Make one test video before anything else. Open the dashboard, stay on the Single tab, and paste this:

Title: Interview prep: the one question to ask at the end
Most candidates end the interview with no questions, and that's a missed chance. Ask this instead: what would success look like in this role in the first ninety days? It shows you're already thinking like the person in the job, and the answer tells you whether the manager has a clear plan. Write it down before you walk in so you don't freeze. Want help getting ready for your next interview? Search ClearPath Career Coaching on Google.

Choose English and any voice, press Generate, and in a couple of minutes you'll see your first finished video. After that, everything else on this page will make sense.

How long until I have my first video?

Usually a couple of minutes per video. If many people are making videos at the same moment it can take a bit longer. You can close the tab: you'll get an email the moment it's ready.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Everything runs in your browser, on a computer or a phone.

Scripts: what the video says

What is a "script"?

Just the words the voice will say in the video. Nothing technical. For a 30–50 second video that's about 90–130 words, roughly one short paragraph.

I'm not a writer or a speaker. Who writes the scripts?

You don't have to. You have three easy options. One: copy the career coaching prompt on this page into Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini, and it writes 10 scripts for you. Two: inside jajavideo, type one line like "a tip for someone stuck in a job search for months" and press ✨ Write script. Three: ask Jaja, the script assistant, for ideas in plain words. Your only job is to read the result and make sure the career advice is sound.

What's the "Title:" line for?

It names your video so you can find it later. It is never read aloud and never shown in the video. Use the pattern Topic: hook, for example Title: CV tip: why "hardworking" tells a recruiter nothing.

Do I write anything about the pictures or scenes?

No. Write only what should be said. jajavideo's built-in director reads your sentences and chooses a matching visual for each one by itself.

How do I make people contact me at the end?

Make the last sentence your credit, for example "Search ClearPath Career Coaching on Google." The voice reads it out. If you mention a website, write it as words, "clearpath dot com", so the voice says it correctly. Jaja can also add the ending for you if you tell it your website or phone number.

Can I fix a word or a sentence the AI wrote?

Of course. It's just text. Change anything before you paste it into jajavideo. If you notice a problem after the video is made, edit the text and make it again.

What if I run out of ideas?

Use the 30 ideas on this page, write down the questions your clients ask you in sessions, or reply to the AI in the same chat: "Write 10 more, completely different career tips." You can also paste one of your own blog posts or newsletters and ask for five scripts based on it.

Bulk: many videos in one paste

What is Bulk, in simple words?

Bulk lets you paste several scripts at once and get a separate video for each one. Instead of making ten videos one by one, you paste ten scripts in one go and come back to ten finished videos.

How does jajavideo know where one video ends and the next starts?

Put a line with only AAA between scripts. Each script starts with its own Title: line. Here is the smallest possible example, 3 scripts that become 3 videos:

Title: CV tip: lead with results, not duties
Most CVs list what the person was responsible for. Recruiters want to know what changed because you were there. Instead of "managed social media", write "grew the newsletter from 400 to 2,000 subscribers in a year". Numbers make your work visible, and they give the interviewer something to ask about. Search ClearPath Career Coaching on Google.
AAA
Title: Career change: you don't start from zero
People changing careers often think their old experience doesn't count. It does. A teacher who moves into training already knows how to explain hard things to a room of people. Before you apply anywhere, list the skills that carry over and find the words your new industry uses for them. Search ClearPath Career Coaching on Google.
AAA
Title: Salary talk: never name the first number
When a recruiter asks what salary you're looking for, answering with a number too early can cost you. Ask instead what range is budgeted for the role, then say you'd want to see the full package before deciding. It keeps the conversation open and shows you take the process seriously. Search ClearPath Career Coaching on Google.

Real scripts should be longer (90–130 words), but that's the whole idea: Title, text, AAA, repeat.

Where do I paste them?

In the dashboard, click the Bulk tab (next to Single), paste everything into the big box, choose the language and voice, and press Generate. All videos use the same voice and caption style.

Do I have to write "AAA" myself?

No, if you use the prompt on this page. It already tells the AI to put AAA between scripts, so you copy the AI's answer and paste it as it is.

I forgot the AAA lines. What happens?

If each script starts with its own "Title:" line, jajavideo still splits them correctly. AAA is simply the safest way to be sure.

Can I mix languages in one Bulk paste?

It's best to paste one language at a time, so every video gets a voice that matches. Make the English batch, then the Spanish batch.

Where do I find all the videos afterwards?

On your Videos page. Each one appears as soon as it's ready, and you get an email when they're done. Download them any time within 30 days.

The video itself

Will my face or voice be in the video?

No. The videos are faceless: real images and short clips, a natural AI voice-over, music and captions. Nobody appears on camera, and you never record your voice.

Can I choose the voice and the captions?

Yes. Choose from 300+ natural voices in 74 languages, and from 5 caption styles: Classic, Karaoke, Word Pop, Box Highlight or Two-line.

What if I don't like how a video came out?

Press "Make it again — free". It's made again from the same script with fresh visuals, and it never counts against your free videos.

How long can a video be?

Shorts can run up to about 3 minutes of narration, but 30–60 seconds usually works best. The Unlimited + Long plan adds landscape YouTube videos up to 4 minutes.

What format is the video?

A vertical 1080×1920 MP4, the standard size for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels and Facebook. Make it once, post it everywhere.

Will faceless videos make me look less professional?

Not when each video answers a real question a job seeker or a career changer actually has. People judge a short by whether it was worth their time. A clear answer to "should I take a counteroffer?" with your name at the end reads as expertise.

Posting & scheduling

Do I have to post a video every day?

No. Post at the pace that suits you. The simple rule is: the more useful videos you put out, the more potential clients learn your name. Two or three a week is a fine start. Steady beats occasional bursts.

I don't have time to upload every day. What can I do?

Schedule them. Make a batch of videos in one sitting with Bulk, then use the scheduling tools that the platforms already give you for free, so one video goes live each day (or every other day) while you work.

  • YouTube: upload in YouTube Studio and choose "Schedule" instead of "Public", then pick the date and time.
  • Instagram and Facebook: Meta Business Suite lets you schedule Reels ahead of time.
  • TikTok: on the TikTok website you can set a future posting time when you upload.

One hour on Sunday can fill the whole week. Platform menus change from time to time, so look for the "Schedule" option when you upload.

Where should I post first?

Start with one platform you already use or where your clients are, often YouTube Shorts or Instagram. Once that's a habit, post the same videos on the others. They're already the right size.

What should I write in the description?

One or two sentences about the tip, your business name, and how to contact you. On YouTube, add a link to your website if your channel allows links.

Does jajavideo upload the videos for me?

No. You download each video and post it yourself, so you stay in control of your accounts.

Results

How soon will I get clients from this?

Nobody can promise that, and we won't. Like any steady content, video builds up over time. Give it a few months, look at which questions get watched, and make more like those.

How do I know what's working?

Each platform shows you views and how long people watched. Look for videos that keep people watching past the first few seconds, and repeat their topic and opening style.

My first videos got few views. Did I do something wrong?

Probably not. New accounts often start slowly while the platform learns who your videos are for. Keep posting at your own pace, make your first sentence stronger, and keep each video to one clear piece of advice.

Do these videos help people find my coaching practice?

They add visibility on YouTube, social platforms and your Google Business Profile, and can keep visitors engaged on pages where they're embedded. No video guarantees new clients or bookings, so don't promise that to anyone.

Clients & business

Can I make videos for my clients and charge for them?

Yes. Commercial use is included on every plan, so you can publish videos on your clients' accounts and sell video as part of your career coaching packages, for example as interview-prep content for the people you work with.

Can I put my own logo on the videos?

Yes, on the Unlimited plans. Every video is watermark-free, or carries your own logo if you want it.

Can I make videos in my clients' languages?

Yes, in 74 languages including right-to-left ones like Arabic, Persian and Urdu. Ask the prompt to write in that language, then pick a voice in the same language.

Free plan & price

Is it really free?

Yes. Every day you get 5 completely watermark-free videos, about 150 a month, with no card. After those 5, you can keep making videos with a small "Made with jajavideo" credit.

When do my 5 free videos reset?

Every day at 00:00 UTC.

Do failed videos or redos count?

No. Only finished videos count, and "Make it again" is always free.

What do the paid plans add?

Unlimited ($27/month): unlimited watermark-free videos, your own logo, priority in the queue. Unlimited + Long ($47/month): everything in Unlimited plus landscape videos up to 4 minutes. Both are monthly PayPal subscriptions you can cancel any time.
