Professional career coaches are trained to accomplish 3 things.
1.Listen, observe and ask questions to help you figure out exactly what you want out of your next career.
2.Strategize with you on how to get what you really want in a new job.
3.Help you with the tactical steps to get there. This includes help with:
b.Interviewing
c.Networking
d.Professional presentation skills
e.Negotiating salary and benefits
Here are a couple of questions that may help you get the ball rolling.
Are you doing what you really want to be doing for a living?
What are you putting up with?
Are you bored?
Do you want more?
What do you want in the next 5 years?
What have you done in the last week to achieve it?
Often, people settle for what they have instead of what they want. Your challenge is to figure out what you want and fearlessly achieve it! A professional career coach can help in this process.
Make a connection or don't hire them. One of the most important things to look for when trying to choose a career coach is a personal connection and feeling of comfortable and open communication. The best career coaches are also the best listeners, and if you don't feel that you can effectively communicate with your career coach - for whatever reason - then keep looking until you find someone that is a more natural match for you. Career coaching is all about understanding a person's talents, needs, and goals. And much of the career coaching process is spent talking about choices, options, and strategies for landing the appropriate job for a satisfactory salary.
When you work with a trained and experienced career coach you should have those moments when a light goes off in your brain and you think to yourself "Wow. I never looked at it that way before", or "Gee. I never thought about that." The process should make you think outside the box about career potential. Those are the kinds of coaches who make the difference in helping you find the job of your dreams.
