A coach is needed when you're seeking help with your current career situation. They will be like a partner who will keep things organized, lay some things out for you - simplified and ready to be practiced. A career coach will pretty much serve as your fairy godmother, the one who turns your tattered clothes into an extravagant one just before you hit the ball. Here are five of the things that one can learn from a career coach, according to Jasmine Garnsworthy of Style Caster.
1. If boredom is felt at work, then you probably are just satisfied of how things are and don't have a desire to change them. Garnsworthy booked her career coach named Joy Lin who specializes in working with professional women and had great reviews on her work. Lin explained that one of the most common challenges young professionals experience nowadays is that they don't feel challenged in their job anymore. According to Lin, this happens when they no longer put time and effort in building themselves in their chosen career paths. All you have to do is push yourself out of your comfort zone.
2. The job history section in your resume must have more details. "I encourage everyone to reread their resume and think, 'if I were the recruiter at [insert dream company], would my resume be memorable and deliver all the transferrable accomplishments I've had?'"
3. If you want to earn more money then you should be more valuable. Lin advises her clients to determine how they can give more value to the industry or company that they are working for. If you're uncertain where to begin, Lin said that it would be a good idea to learn from people who make the level of money that you wish to be making, too.
4. Before you start looking for a new job, don't forget to rewrite your LinkedIn summary. Since the summary section of your LinkedIn is probably the best place to showcase yourself, then might as well craft a unique and memorable piece that would attract potential employers.
5. Falling out of love with your job is an issue that can still be fixed. Lin advises that whenever you feel like you've already fallen out of love with your job, engage yourself in industry events, and reach out to people, doing online research on companies and such. "Every step counts and leads to clarity," Lin said.
