I like this short list of job hunting tips from The Guardian: “In the digital age, it can sometimes seem a little old fashioned to approach a recruiter by telephone, but it’s still an effective method. If you’ve made an application online and haven’t had a reply in a few days, don’t be afraid to […]
As i am sure you are aware, there are plenty of job hunting sites. I for one can stare at Glass Door, whilst it promises to find me: “the job that fits your life” for hours on end. The longer I stare and search, the more distracted and drained I can become. This is not […]
Do we go about job hunting all the wrong way around? Do we literally treat it like “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt“? Does following the mantra “we can’t go over it and we can’t go under it, we’d better go through it” consistently really work for us? Or would it be wise to take […]
Why would you seek career transition coaching? Two reasons shout loudest to me. Firstly your role has changed beyond recognition. Secondly because you have outgrown your role.

Before you take out any kind of Career Development Loan, it is wise to know exactly what that commitment will do for you. The financial crash of 2008 and the subsequent problems within the financial sector within the UK have clearly shown us that living on credit alone is not sustainable. When you take out […]
Career Development Coach: “I don’t know how you do this.. it’s like witchcraft!”, voiced a client who had just outlined her life purpose to me (& indeed to herself!), for the first time. And it Is a shock, every time we reach the heart-centre of this journey, with each individual. It does take time to get […]
Here’s a link to a Career Development Plan Template. This template appears to be logical and thus ‘should’ be easy to complete. Well for me, this kind of logic has never yet given me the answers. All I end up feeling when faced with these questions is inadequate because what appears to be logical, leaves […]
Has your career development plan gone as you had envisaged? No? Nor mine! It is 2 the two year anniversary of the Daemon Career Coach business entity, and, never could I have imagined such fun! With this in mind I wish to share a quote with you that I stumbled accross that made me grin: […]
