Fulfillment In Your Career: Career Transition Services in NYC

As just about anyone searching for a job in the past decade will tell you, finding a new job or changing a career is one of the toughest transitions you can make in your professional life. Entering or re-entering the workforce can be very tricky, as the business world is becoming more competitive than ever, and that competition is even more intense in New York City. Many of the largest and most powerful companies are located in New York City, and its reputation as a market of opportunity brings an influx of qualified workers every year to compete over what amounts to a small handful of jobs. A new wave of college graduates moves to New York City every year, competing for the same jobs with a high level of education, while asking for significantly lower salaries, which makes retaining a position a competition in itself. So what should you do if you’re entering the work force now, re-entering it after years away, transitioning careers or need and deserve a promotion, and don’t know where to start?

What Can a Career Coach Do For Me?

A career coach can help with all aspects of searching for a new career, including:

Identifying Your Strengths – How will anyone appreciate your unique skills and talents if you don’t? A career coach can help you realize your true potential by identifying your strengths and talents that are most attractive to employers. By helping you further hone these abilities, a coach can help you find a new and more fulfilling career path and compete in the demanding New York City job market.

Improving Communication Skills – Communication is the cornerstone of good business. Job candidates often have problems with communication that they don’t even realize are preventing them from getting jobs. A career coach can help pinpoint any issues you may have with communication and strengthen your professional social skills. Strong communication skills will help not only in the interview process, but once you are placed in a new position as well.

Enhance Job Hunting Skills – The main reason most people seek a career coach is for help getting a job. Strengthening your resume and interviewing skills will help you get your foot in the door of a new company or career path.

Positioning For Promotion – What if you are happy with your career path, but feel like you could do better within it? A career coach can help you with positioning yourself for promotion as well. Helping you to realize your full potential and skills and eliminating negative behaviors will make you a better employee, and your boss will surely notice. When you are working at your full skill level and happy in your position, it won’t be long before you are promoted.

Reinforcing Positive Thinking Patterns – Positive thinking patterns would include believing that your job performance leads to regular raises, promotions, or other similar perks. When you raise to a level that requires greater skill, positive thinking patterns can help you reach your full potential and rise to new levels once you master this one. Negative thinking patterns, to use the same example, would be expecting a raise and promotion even if you have been miserable and going through the motions at your current level. A career coach can help identify and reinforce positive thinking patterns while helping to eliminate negative patterns so that you will rise to the level you belong.

A career coach can help you with all of these career transition services and much more. Call us today to see how a career coach can help you find the career you’ve always wanted.
