CAREER VENTURES

Career Counseling

Clients reassess and redefine what is most important to them. Through one-on-one meetings, we work together to explore and assess strengths, aptitudes, interests, abilities, personality, and life experiences—guiding and focusing forward—ideally translating into a positive career direction.

 

Testing and Assessment

Testing helps provide valuable information and helps to measure various interests, personality, and career/life priorities. The tests we may utilize for assessment include:

• Strong Interest Inventory

• MBTI – Myers-Briggs Introduction to Type

• Skills Assessment

• Career Orientations Values Inventory

These tests are user-friendly, have excellent test/re-test reliability, and remain the cornerstone in the career development field.

 

Job Support Coaching

Workplace issues associated with stress, anxiety, introversion, and self-esteem are common. We coach and demonstrate how to maintain the proper perspective—helping to discover and develop the tools needed to gain (or regain) enjoyment and confidence.

 

Job Search Strategies

We teach and provide various search strategies that will help find that fulfilling job in the digital age.

 

Interview Preparation

Interviews may be a source of anxiety. We provide guidance to alleviate that anxiety through coaching and preparation—through understanding the various types of interviews, potential questions, and strategies to respond in these situations—ultimately leading to that desired job.

 

Outplacement Consulting

In cases of unemployment, dismissal or early retirement, we provide support, encouragement, and guidance through the many phases of job hunting—understanding the marketplace, honing skills, developing a professional resume, then ultimately finding and pursuing job leads and negotiating salary.

 

Resume Development

The resume is an essential part of the job search. We collaborate to develop a unique, professional, and effective resume.
