Career Coaching

Why hire a professional career coach?

As golf phenomenon Tiger Woods has said, "Professionals hire a coach to increase their chances of winning; amateurs don't".

We all seek the professional assistance for legal and financial issues everyday when we call our attorney, accountant, or financial planner. Even with home improvement projects that reach beyond our abilities you may need to call in a professional. Why? Because they are experts in their fields and can help you achieve the results you want more efficiently.

Job search and career transition consulting services are no different. Recent Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics reports the average length of unemployment is about 1 month for every $10,000 in annual income. If you have an annual income $80,000 that’s 8 months. Hiring a career coach can help you to shorten that time and save you loss income, time and frustration.

People often ask "Can I do this myself? You could, the concerns you should have are if you have the time and expertise to maximize your efforts in the job search. Can you effectively do this with the objective, critical eye you need to get the job done? Or would you rather possess the knowledge, skills, and professional marketing materials to get the job that is really the right one for you?

A challenging and exciting career choice influences your quality of life and even your identity. As is the case with other important decisions, professionals seek professional assistance, and your career is one area that will benefit from the direction of a career management firm.
