Parents: here’s how you can give your student a head start in their school and career planning!

Students:  if you’re feeling lost trying to plan your career, or you don’t want to make a decision you’ll regret, read on! (And if you got here first, share this with your parents!)

 Let’s be honest…

Most teens and young adults don’t have a clue what they want to do with the rest of their lives, but they’re expected to make decisions that will impact career and life choices early.  Keep doors open to you! Don’t choose an occupation right now, because chances are your choices will change. Answer these questions:

            • Do you find that thinking “lifetime” is a bit overwhelming?

            • Do you want to make your own decisions 

            • Do you feel your parents are “pushing” you into something you haven’t  chosen for yourself?

             •Are you having trouble understanding how to choose a career and need help with career planning?

If you honestly answered, “yes,” then career coaching can help you!

As a career coach with specialized experience working with students, I can help take away the stress in career planning and student job search.  This is one of the most important decisions of your life, and I offer you support and expert advice that will help you:

              • Make the most important decisions of your life

             • Use my 6-step “Recipe” program that breaks the decision making process  down into small, manageable steps

             • Identify your personal interests strengths, skills and personality to find career options that work 

             • Use your volunteer and life experiences to build a resume that will get you hired

             • Prepare for answering interview questions to help you stand out from  other candidates

Why use a student/career coach?

 One of the biggest reasons is to save money!

The average college student changes majors at least once – with many changing majors up to 3 times… And 1 in 6 post secondary students will never complete their program!

 By learning what career options to pursue BEFORE you enroll or choose a major, you can save a significant amount of money. I can help you make the right choices!
