Career Counselling Advice

The fact that you've found this page probably means that you are seeking advice on what career to persue or, if you are seeking a career change, what direction to take.

The type of coaching you will need will very much depend on your previous experience. Someone starting out has quite different needs to someone with several years of work experience. The first will be concerned about what career to persue, whilst the latter may be wanting advice on how to take forward an existing career. Those with decades of experience may be facing a career crossroads where a complete change of career may be the goal.

Whichever category you fall into, it is important to find a career counsellor who will take time to get to know you so that the most relevant program can be formulated. Ask for a detailed breakdown of the work you will be doing together. Also ask to see testimonials from satisfied clients.

It is your money you are investing in yourself so it behoves you to take all necessary steps to assure yourself that you are choosing a career counsellor who is able to clearly demonstrate their credentials and is someone with whom you will be happy working with. Be on your guard for counselling organisations that employ sales staff. You may feel comfortable with the sales person only to discover that the actual counselling is with someone you haven't met before. This might turn out well but equally it could be disastrous and end with you wasting your money.
