Professionals in career transition can easily fall into a trap of limited self confidence, a decreased view of the value they bring as a professional and a start/stop effort to the search which is tiring and unproductive. A coach can provide the focus, structure and accountability that will keep you in action toward your next career.
To succeed you need to
- Understand and be able to articulate your accomplishments, skills and personal traits.
- Have a clear understanding of what value you can bring to a company or a new position.
- Be willing to look at other careers where your skills and personal traits might easily transfer.
- Develop a resume that showcases your accomplishments and invites prospective employers to ask more.
- Understand how to use networking in the most positive way, not just ask for help.
- Leverage research to set you apart from others.
- Stay focused on the search, stay active and stay positive.
- Be prepared to be your best for an interview.
- Know when to negotiate and how to establish a win-win situation.
“You listen well and are very encouraging. After hearing my problems and difficulties you would help me to focus on the true obstacle and brainstorm solutions. You helped me stay on track and kept me moving in the right direction. Thank you for the reassuring words and keeping me focused on my objectives.” Kent Koch, Iowa My personal experience using Career Coach Bev Berner, has been very positive. I've found Bev to be a great listener! And it's not just that she listens. She gleans information and can then ask questions and make inquiries about things that I did not/would not have thought of on my own! This is important as I can be very focused and would have missed something that is very relevant to where I am and where I'm going. During my journey to find "career happiness", I've had the support of family, friends and co-workers. They have all been good listeners and confidantes. But Bev has been able to be very objective, more so than my supporters. I think that is a major advantage - someone who doesn't know you, but who is willing to learn about you so they can help and guide you. D.T., IT Professional, Missouri |
