Career Counseling Where Are You In Your Career? Unsure of career direction?

I want to make a Career

Transition and

my Challenges are:

 

 

 

I don’t know what I want to do?

  • I need an assessment of my strengths, skills and marketability.
  • I need to understand the growth trends in my industry and the marketplace.
  • Just graduated, now how do I get started?
  • What’s the purpose of the transition? Marketability, $$, challenge, ROI, quality of life?
  • How do I know I will even like a transition? How long will a transition take.

 

I don’t know what my best options are?

  • I have a passion but I’m not sure it’s a career, a hobby or a part time job?
  • I know what I want, but I don’t have the background.
  • Houston, we have a problem: I’m in a dead end / declining industry/career.
  • I don’t have the skills or a degree that can cross industries.
  • I’m an experienced Senior and I still want to work. Who will hire me?
  • What are the financial consequences and trade-offs of a transition?

 

I don’t know how to get there?

  • I hate my job but I can’t take a pay cut to get out.
  • My industry is declining, how do I get out?
  • I just graduated with a new degree, now where do I use it?
  • I’m trying to reenter the workforce from a stay-at-home parent.
  • How do I communicate my transition from my military experience into a civilian skill-set?
  • How do I craft clear messages that will sell this transition?
  • I want to leave the corporate world and be my own boss.
  • I’m tired of large companies and want to work in a small company.
  • Does my resume to help me in this transition?
  • How do I identify and approach those who can help me transition?
  • How do I interview strong enough to sell a transition?

 

The biggest mistakes people make here are:

Clarity - Why do I really want to transition and will it be worth it?

  • They don't get the help they need up front to define their options clearly.
  • They fail to prioritize their goals relative to a five-year plan.
  • They have not identified their transferable skills.
  • They fail to target the right companies in the right industry.
  • They are not prepared to sell themselves on the phone or in the interview.
  • They are not confident to create an opportunity for themselves.
  • They fail to develop a task-based forward-looking, resume that will open the doors they need.

Realism -get professional help to understand your options thoroughly.

  • They fail to assess the probabilities and the negative trade-offs that can occur.
  • They don't step back and assess their marketability and the best career options.
  • Before they write a resume, they may need to explore some options with informational interviews.
  • They fail to target the right companies in the right industry.
  • They fail to assess the realistic factors and alternatives of the marketplace, including product life cycle.
  • They do not create a plan B or a two-step approach.

Timing or Timeframe; How long do we explore Plan A before we go to Plan B?

  • They fail to set reasonable time-frames and goals so they can make decisions.
  • They waste time answering the ads when they don’t have the obvious background.
  • They underestimate the lead time required to establish the right connections and relationships.
  • They waste time on the wrong activities and therefore extend their job search.
  • They don’t have the right contacts where the best opportunities are - small, medium or sized companies.
