Career coaching helps individuals who want to find a fulfilling career that utilizes their strengths and complements their values and interests. Recent graduates, adults considering a career change, or those re-entering the workforce can benefit from working with a career coach, who will help them establish professional goals, create a plan, and overcome obstacles that may be in the way. A career coach may offer a range of services.
On one end of the spectrum is the personal development side of career coaching that helps you answer the big questions in life such as, "What are you passionate about? On the other end of the career coaching spectrum are the technical job searching services such as resume writing, preparing for interviews, and developing job searching skills. Support - A coach is there for you.
They will create a safe environment where you are comfortable and can talk without judgment. Structure and accountability - A coach will set up regular coaching meetings with you by phone or in person and assist in developing a plan to achieve your career goals.
They will provide the necessary accountability for you to achieve and exceed your goals, far faster than you would on your own. Focus - A career coach will help you focus on what you really want to do and where you want to do it by identifying your values, interests, talents and passion. Confidence and your personal brand - Career coaching can give you better awareness of your strengths, accomplishments, unique value proposition and your own personal brand.
A career coach can help new grads, mid-life career changers, or those re-entering the workforce after several years find a job.
