How Would Taking an Assessment and Engaging the Services of a Coach Help you?

If you have had ANY one of the following thoughts – or any like them – in the past 30 days, you just might benefit from having a coach and getting some feedback from a validated assessment… Check it out below

• So what if I’m a college graduate – I still can’t find a job!

• I’ve applied for 8 positions in the last six months and haven’t been called back for one of them – could something be wrong with my resume or is it just me?

• Wow – I am really fed up and dissatisfied with my job; but what can I DO about it?

• I think I’d be good at some things, but what if I hate doing them? How can I find out BEFORE I take the job?

•  I never seem to get the promotions I know I deserve – and I haven’t a clue why!

• You know, I have been in “final” rounds of interviews 3 times in the past 5 months, but I’m still without a job – what’s with that?

•  Over 40 years old with 15 years at the same job – and I am the one they lay off! Now what? I have no idea what else I could do… or even if I can get hired.

•  Linked in – Face Book? What’s that? I’ve heard about it but wouldn’t know where to begin.

• How far back should my resume go and how many pages are the “right” length?

• What kind of salary “offer” should I expect to take or should I just be grateful to have a job?

Nine times out of ten, there actually ARE things you can do or ways you do things that you can change – and that could make THE difference in your experience of your current career or job situation. There really are things – perspectives – that may be missing or that are hidden from your view (blind spots) that, if you could see them, would accelerate the velocity of your career search or help you get that job you know would be the perfect one for you.

Sometimes just assessing your current or past behaviors and exploring your motivating factors can make a big difference in understanding your own preferences for work environment. In working with someone else who can take an objective view of how you handle circumstances, business decisions and personal interactions can give you the feedback you need to make the right changes in your behavior; changes that can change your career trajectory and alter your currently unsatisfactory career.

If you are on the cusp of a career change and either want to take a different route – or have been laid off and are looking for what’s next, it may be worth your while to get some support from a mentor, a coach or a consultant who is familiar with career change and behavior management.

Knowing what you want in a career or job is only one part of the equation. Understanding what you are good at, what motivates your behaviors and how you react – whether consciously or unconsciously – to your surroundings, can make a huge difference in your future.

Take some time to take our behavioral and motivational assessment; In it, you will define your strengths, uncover your weaknesses and finally get the job that is the perfect fit.
