My job as a career coach includes believing in my clients even when they are discouraged. It is my job to help my clients see their possibilities in new ways.
For example, we discuss how to read job market statistics in a way that is both encouraging and accurate.
Let’s say you have read that job seekers in your age group have a 30 percent chance of finding a position within a year. You may hear that news as discouraging. And certainly it would be preferable to hear that job seekers of your age have a 70 percent chance.
However, you have two perfectly accurate ways to think of the initial statement. You can think of yourself as in the 70 percent who won’t find the job in a year. Or you can remember that 30 out of every 100 are finding the job. That becomes 300 people of every thousand who are finding the jobs.
And why shouldn’t you be one of that thirty or three hundred people? This is an example of how my clients learn to read statistics in a way that works for them.
Yes, it takes a dedicated and creative search to be in the thirty percent. If you want to talk that over, just contact me to schedule your complimentary appointment. You will leave our meeting with information you need to decide whether my services would be useful to you. I hope to hear from you today!
