Career Coaches use assessments and other methodologies to help you gain insights regarding your career to include what is working well and where you
may be getting stuck. They help you confirm or discover your unique talents, strengths, and passions. Career Coaches focus on an individual’s current
circumstances and help to create career goals, objectives, and action plans to advance your career. They concentrate on where you want to go and serve as a
guide to help you get from here to there. Career Coaches use a solution-oriented approach to provide career advice. Frequently they use Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Skype, or telephone calls to engage in interactive discussions with individual clients.
