| Career Search Help This page is intended for individuals who wish to combine short-term career coaching and personal counseling as support during employment or career change. Counseling may seem like an expense a person does not need at this time. At the same time, walking alone in a job search can be overwhelming. Many people are helped and feel more stable when someone else walks with them. Together, they can find new ways because people have skills and abilities that go unrecognized in the larger job market. Working with career counseling tools, strategies and techniques can help:
Individuals who enter career coaching work toward action steps. We work together on what those steps are, based on the used of career assessment tools, talk therapy, and preparation, such as resume preparation, interview practice, and locating more "hidden" job markets and networking. The goal is to help you move forward in your search and to not need job coaching. You are encouraged to call. A ten minute, initial conversation is at no charge. The economy of the United States changed in extremis --- in the extreme --- in 2008. Your personal experience, in addition to headlines in our newspapers and the internet, make this impact clear. Our lives and the lives of our families are not the same. We are at a moment of great consequence. Extreme change means most people experience substantial difficulty in one way or another. Pressure is brought upon everyone in the home. We may feel less tolerant, we may feel differently, we may not like what we feel. Distress and stressors raise our anxiety and worry. Job loss is profound. It hits hard. These difficulties impact how we can live, what we think of ourselves, and what we feel in our emotional health. For those who have lost jobs, it is likely there many things in your heart and mind right now. Perhaps rejection, loss and grief, or confusion have a hand in how you feel. Perhaps you have a loss of energy or spirit. Layoffs, furloughs, shortened work weeks, business unit or company closings --- whatever name these events go by may have delivered shock and change into your life, through no fault of your own. Dealing with these events is difficult. There is no doubt about that. Whether you are younger or older, a man or a woman, married, single or partnered, these events and the impact on your life are problems to be reckoned with. These are problems to solved. It is not a time of "business as usual." Sometimes we need to work with a supportive counselor to help find our way. Contact: 503-287-1526 |
