Career Coaching

Tips & Advice to help you make your decision on Career Coaching

Career coaching can help you figure out what kind of work you really want to do, and then it can help you find a way to get started in your new career. Career coaches may use personality and aptitude testing, and they may ask probing questions to help you discover where your true interests really lie.

Career coaches often work for themselves rather than for a company. In the past, you would have had to pick a career coach who lived nearby, but these days, you also have the option to work with one on the Internet via Skype Videophone.

Some career coaches, such as Marty Nemko and Barbara Sher, are relatively well-known because they write newspaper columns and popular books, have radio talk shows, and appear on television. Others are less well-known but have good reputations locally. Asking people for recommendations may be the best way to find a career coach. If you don't know anyone who has used a career coach, the book What Color Is Your Parachute? has a list of career counselors that you can use to start your search.

When selecting career coaches, check their experience and credentials, and ask for testimonials from former clients. For more information about career coaching, check out the links on this Business.com page.
