You don't have to go it alone. Career change and job hunting aren't easy! It's common to feel discouraged and confused about where to put your time and energy for the best results. But you CAN gain control of your job search and be back in the driver's seat. Feel confident, motivated, and focused for a successful job search. Career counseling and job search coaching can help you achieve your goals more easily and quickly.

Why use a career coach / career counselor?

Achieve focus and clarity for your future. If you've been unhappy in your career you may know what you don't want, but you aren't sure what you DO want. That lack of focus can result in lost wages while you wait for an advertised job. But without focus -- knowing what kind of career, job, values, and work environment you want and a plan for the search, your chances of stumbling onto "the perfect job" are slim. People often mistakenly think they need to be a chameleon to fit into whatever job presents itself. Would you do that in looking for a life partner? Of course not! You'd want to be true to yourself. Success starts with clarity about what you have to offer, what matters to you, and a focused plan to find a job or career that truly fits. We offer professionally validated interest assessments in addition to career counseling to expand your options.

Take action for your job search! Are you sitting in front of the computer all day or scanning the newspaper, discouraged at the lack of prospects? Learn how to approach employers so that they get to know you and want to hire you. You don't need to wait for the phone to ring.

Realize your career or job possibilities are greater than you think. Everyone has "transferable skills" that enable them to do many jobs. Career counseling and coaching help you rethink the possibilities, giving you new, exciting ideas in areas that you may not have considered.

Relax with the support you need. Friends and spouses (or significant others) are often too close to help. If you would like assistance from someone with more objectivity, talk to a supportive professional.

Use a proven process for job search that reduces stress and maximizes your chance of success. See how you can access the "hidden" job market, instead of applying for the same job as other highly qualified job seekers.

Obtain personal marketing materials that net you interviews and increase your confidence. Beat out the competition with a resume and cover letter that targets the job you want and is well designed and written to impress the reader.

Prepare for interviews and increase your confidence. Don't leave this important step to chance. A career professional can help you anticipate the tough questions, articulate your strengths, and ask the right questions that are certain to instill a positive impression with your next employer. You'll learn and practice effective interviewing skills and know how to deal with those sticky interview questions.
