Early Days

I've been browsing through graduate career forums and I am struck by the lack of direction and feeling of futility.  Our national talent seems to be stumbling about in the dark, equipped only with Huge Potential, and a clutch of Qualifications.

Yet, careers advisor is now an established career path in itself.  Every school, college and university has a department where you can go for careers advice.  So what's going on?

What can a Career Coaching Programme do for me?

• Speed up your job search by setting priorities and goals, and developing a more strategic career plan
• Translate your life and work experience into realistic and rewarding career opportunities
• Help you to get a better return on your investment of time, effort and money into your qualifications
• Remove any blocks to your career progress
• Improve your interviewing, networking and negotiating styles
• Use selected assessment tools to increase your understanding of your strengths and personal values
• Help you balance your work and life priorities, and manage stress
• Help you to advance in your present career into a leadership role
• Encourage you every step of the way to become “career self-reliant” – and be successful!
