Career advice helps people to understand which direction they would like to take their career towards. This can be different for everyone; whether you are unhappy in your current role and would like to progress; or you want to change your career entirely, but are not sure what you could do next. Our Career Coaches can help you develop a plan (an action plan) that includes information to help you take your next steps forward.

The action plan details the steps you are going to take towards the goals and objectives you and your coach will have agreed. The steps will be different for everyone, but examples can include writing a CV, enrolling on a course, where to look for work, etc. The plan can then be reviewed and changing as you move forward.

There are many ways career coaching could benefit you, what you take away from it really is down to you and the reasons why you are seeking help. What you cover during sessions will depend on you and the coach, though common topics include:

• Improving your career progression within your current organisation
• Understanding your ‘perfect career’ and exploring your options
• Identifying and overcoming potential obstacles
• Learning to utilise your skills and experiences, and how to improve
• Interview coaching to help you stand out from the crowd
• CV writing to help you get noticed
• Support in changing career paths
• Overcoming the feeling of being ‘stuck’ career-wise
• Positioning yourself for future opportunities
• Formulating a set of attainable goals and a plan of action
• Rebalancing your work and home life and manage personal priorities
• Returning to work after long-term leave or sickness

You do not need to be in a full-time role to benefit from career coaching. You may be a school or college leaver who feels a little lost after spending so long in education, not knowing where to turn next. You may be a university graduate; you may have spent years studying a particular subject but realise it’s a career you no longer want to pursue.

Career Coaches help develop a career development plan; it is best described as your personal plan for your future. It tends to include your goals, ideas and aspirations for your ideal work life and lifestyle. Taking the time to create a personal career development plan enables you to fully appreciate your existing career strengths, weaknesses, talents, skills, and interests. It also allows you to see how big the gap is between where you are in terms of your career at the moment and where you want to be in the next 5, 10 or 15 years. By defining your career goals in detail, you are able to see clearly what resources and benefits you have to offer an employer and what you need to attain in order to close the career gap.
