Career Coach Jobs

Career Coach Jobs: I was told (often actually!), that I ‘could never make my living as a coach’, helping people to find jobs. I am happily proving them wrong, albeit in my own unique way. Coaching is often seen as a parachute or second career. It’s the training people do ‘just in case’ their role or sector dissolves.

In these uncertain times I have to say that the possibility of a role or sector dissolving is entirely credible. Changes in Public sector funding, market shifts and recent dramatic political events here in the U.K. are affecting traditional career pathways daily. Uncertainty grows regarding markets and trading agreements wobble as unexpected counties rise up to exceed trading predictions. Regardless of your politics, who can really say where we shall be as a nation in 5 years time?

So what are we really left with that can anchor us as we ride out these dramatic shifts in the tectonic plates in our career landscape?

Well all we have is ourselves and our own truths. When you know who you are, what you bring to your professional world, what values you hold and what you will not tolerate, then you know what you are trading with. This is when you can enter the career market equipped with clarity regarding what you can contribute. This way, if the role you currently hold does disappear, then you can find another ‘good fit’ because you know what constitutes a good fit for you. This way if your sector dissolves, you can locate where the need has moved to. A genuine need will always need meeting, it might just have migrated to another environment.

Career coaching is not simply about helping people to find jobs. Career coaching is a role driven by a passion to empower individuals to take control of managing their own career pathways. It is nourished by enabling individuals to step right into their own potency and strength in order to manage their own portfolio career. It is empowering individual to align themselves their values and go out into the world to make ethical and informed decisions about what they want for their own continuing professional development, knowing what they contribute to the world by doing so. My role is not to help people to find jobs. My Career coaching role is to help people to understand why they seek the jobs they do.
