Depending on your goals and where you are in the process, you might work with any of the four critical factors of successful career management
People seek career coaching for two reasons: (1) they have experienced an unwanted job loss or (2) they are questioning whether to stay in their current position. For those who have lost their jobs, the prospect of finding a job can be daunting and paralyzing. But the skills involved and the strategies required can be managed with the help of a savvy career coach. Rita Carey has assisted thousands with finding new jobs.
Because clients are in locations throughout the world, coaching is provided by phone. A schedule of coaching calls, all addressing your agenda, provides an efficient and highly effective process. With materials provided prior to coaching, each session provides a focus on your current interest or concern. Email provides ongoing contact and consultation.
In addition to the regularly scheduled calls, "just-in-time" conversations can be arranged for those times when you have an urgent question or need immediate advice, e.g. just prior to an interview or a question about an employer contact.
Working individually with Rita on career development and job search strategies provides up-to-date information and resources. Building a strong resume, using job banks effectively, networking on the NET, preparing for behavioral interviews, salary negotiation and marketing strategies are a few of the areas typically covered in career coaching sessions.
Often referred to as Second Act Careers, there are great possibilities for workers who have extensive experience. Perhaps you would like to take what you have learned and apply it in a new environment, where your past experience will be valued. Or, perhaps you want to do something different and are wondering what you may be qualified to do. Or perhaps you haven’t a clue what to do next, but you know you want to do something.
Rita's workshop on The 50# Job Search: De-bunking the Myths, sells out whenever presented. You can receive the same information in a few coaching sessions with Rita. Age is a perception and, although you cannot change your age, you can change perceptions. Rita will show you how to do that. You will identify the greatest fears of employers when hiring an "older" worker and ways to address them. The three "M’s" that influence your career search in the second half of life are Market, Methods and Materials. Rita will help you identify the market trends working in your favor, recommend effective methods for competing and assist you in the development of your materials (resume/bio/correspondence).
Coaching with clients who feel "stuck" in their careers has become our specialty. Our clients have been successful in getting past barriers and making great strides in their careers. If you are employed, but sensing a lack of opportunity in your current position, coaching can help you identify those blocks to advancement, assess the potential for change and create a career plan leading to fulfillment.
