Why Use a Career Coach?

Jan. 2, 2011 - PRLog -- An awful lot of people will wait until their career crashes and burns before they seek the guidance of a career counselor or coach, and even then they want to make sure that they cannot fix it themselves first. Career counselors and coaches can put together a plan to help you to develop job search strategies. However, not all career counselors are equally effective. You need to find a career counselor or coach that you can work well with.


A good career coach starts their career planning process with a comprehensive interview allowing them to examine your personal and professional needs. Whether you are a recent graduate, currently unemployed, or career changer, a career coach can help you. Career coaches give advice on career strategies to help in choosing the right career. They can also help you create a career strategy that will provide direction and assistance through the interview to get you that dream job. Their career strategy will direct you on what you need to know about the position and the market. Following the recommended strategy of a career coach teaches you the importance of including an "approach" letter for the back-door job-search process, and development of an appropriate action plan.


Beginning the search for a new career can be overwhelming and a bit frightening, to say the least. Professional career coaching will help you know your own personal vision and gain clarity and direction. Perception is critical you must be able to confidently discuss your skills using a convincing approach. Choosing the right career is one of the most important decisions you can make, so don’t take it lightly. You have to find what you love and know that you can make a career out of it. Preparation is the key! Failure to prepare is preparing to fail. Pinpoint your weaknesses and work diligently to improve your technique. Solicit the help from a professional career coach who can help make your transition into a new career a lot less stressful.
