• 10 years with my company and it looks like i'll be facing some form of redundancy soon. I think there's a thread on redundancy so i'll hit that up for some tips but in the meantime i need to think about next steps. Although i believe i've done some of my best work in the last 3-4 years I've also felt trapped in an industry i'm uncertain about. I'd like to explore what other work options might be viable for me, are careers advisors still a thing or would a life coach be the person to speak with?

  • @LightningPesto mentioned up thread that he's a life coach these days...

  • I guess career advisors are still a thing but I don't really know about them, maybe the post-school equivalent would be someone working in recruitment? A life/career coach comes at solving that challenge from a slightly different angle, working with you to find out what is important to you and what you want to pursue rather than someone telling you all the different jobs/roles that you might be appropriate for.

    My first paying client was from lfgss and he smashed his career transition goals, so give me a shout/reply here if you want to ask any questions about life coaching or career transitions. I always think that the advice other forum-members contribute with here is pretty strong too.

    Thanks @RubberDucky too

  • are careers advisors still a thing

    They are. My wife used one a couple of years ago and said it was helpful. I know others who have more recently.

  • Mrs c00ps is a careers coach. She has spoken with a few people on here. I can ask if she'd have a chat? Drop me a PM, if you're interested.

    Edit: Although just seen LP is on the case also (I missed the last page here).
