The word coaching is synonymous with sports teams. A coach can help athletes to develop the mindset to achieve, to set and achieve goals that to many people seem insurmountable, but with focus and clarity, can be met or exceeded. They can help a sportsperson to reach their full potential by planning structured training programmes, providing feedback on performance, and helping them to become more effective.

However, coaching has become more prevalent in other areas. Life coaching has developed significantly over the last few years, with many coaches specialising in niche areas such as health, financial and career coaching to name a few.   

To concentrate on the rising demand for employing a career coach, why should you choose a coach to help you to progress in your career?  

A career coach will help you in many ways. Like in the description of a sports coach above, they will help you to develop and reach your potential, be successful and achieve results. A career coach will normally work with you on a one-to-one basis and will often offer group workshops, teleseminars and e-books to support you to progress in your career.   

A career coach can help you in the following areas:  

Career exploration and discovery  

You may be unhappy or dissatisfied in your job and feel that there is something else out there, but are not sure what it is. A career coach can help you to discover what is important to you in your job and make sure that it uses your talents, skills, and strengths, and provides you with the reward you deserve.  

Understand your strengths and weaknesses  

A career coach will help you to develop an insight into your strengths and weaknesses. This will allow you to understand yourself better and support any decisions you make in your career. It will highlight areas you may not have considered before and you can address any weaknesses that may be holding you back or use them to your advantage.  

Develop your career vision and design your career  

A career coach can help you to structure a plan to progress your career. By helping you to understand your skills and abilities, they can help you to plan your ideal job and how you are going to get there.  

Develop confidence in your own ability  

You may have a plan for your future, but you may be consciously or subconsciously holding yourself back. A career coach can help you to develop greater confidence in your ability as well as providing you with the support and motivation to help you to achieve your goal.  

Provide job search support  

A career coach can help you during all stages of your job search. From helping you to develop your CV, to finding the ideal job and then succeeding at the interview, a career coach will support you every step of the way.  

Help you to get ready for promotion  

You don’t need to want to change your career to benefit from employing a career coach. They can help you to get ready for promotion, plan for the next step in your career, and support you to develop your talents.   

Support you in the workplace  

If you are unhappy at work, there may be many reasons why this may be so. A career coach can also help you to deal with difficult situations or people and become more assertive. You can increase your profile at work, build better relationships and improve your own personal effectiveness.   

Make sure that your goals are congruent with other parts of your life  

A career does not exist on its own and is part of your overall life. It is important that a career coach makes sure that your career goals fit in well with other parts of your life. For example, if work/life balance is essential for you, they will ensure that you consider this when planning or progressing your career.  

Provide you with greater self awareness  

Some career coaches will use psychometric tests or other techniques that will help you to develop a greater self awareness of yourself. A greater self awareness will help you to understand yourself better, build stronger relationships, and communicate more effectively.  

Support you every step of the way  

Like other coaches, career coaches will support you every step of the way. 

Their role is to:   

- Challenge you and ensure that you commit to making the changes you desire.

- Hold you accountable to the actions you want to take.  You will need to report on your results, which means that as well as being accountable to yourself, you need to demonstrate what you have achieved to your coach.

- Question you and challenge your ideas and thoughts.

- Listen to you without any agenda for themselves, which gives you a chance to come up with your own solutions which are right for you.

- Celebrate your successes and recognise when you have overcome difficulties or challenges.

- Keep you motivated even when the going gets tough!

The most important step in finding a right job is to look for one that is most suitable to your requirements and most compatible with your personality. This may sound easy, but often we don’t have a clue about what each job provider has to offer and what would work best for us. Resources for career counseling can be a great help in this process of identifying the next career move.

Web Resources

The Internet is an exhaustive information source that allows us to select from a large list of options. Most organized online resources help job seekers find a viable job based on their personal preference and skill. An interested candidate needs to key in some specifications to narrow down the search that is applied to a massive job database. It is very important to know what to key in when checking online resources for career counseling as selecting the right keyword will get you the desired information.

Identifying What Is “Really” Important To You

There are many factors that may affect the kind of resource you can find on the web. Geographic preference can narrow down the response. Personal preferences such as amount of travel involved can further focus the results. Its important to note that if a user puts in too many preferences the result may be zero help, so its important to keep key factors in mind. This kind of “what if” analysis is possible when using automated resources and is generally not available when using counselors.

Too Much Information Can Confuse You

Web can be a boon or a curse to a person seeking career counseling. The curse of the information explosion can confuse rather than help. Therefore, for some, the old fashioned personal approach is more suitable.

Benefits

A beneficial aspect of career counseling resources is that they help job seekers understand their shortcomings and prepare accordingly. Most jobs that are posted online usually mention what an applicant’s ideal profile should be. This enables job seekers to see for themselves if they fit in or not. It can also spur self-development efforts such as enrolling for additional training, education, and certification or licensing.

Aside from this, resources for career counseling offer useful advice on career related issues. There are forums and message boards on most sites where one can post a query. A counselor answers these questions to help you choose accordingly. Some of the specialized career counseling companies evaluate your current earnings and analyze your potential to help you land a better job.

What Information To Look For

You could make a job choice based upon recommendations, reviews, write-ups, word of mouth or rankings, but the most important is personal need. The American School Counselor Association plays an important role in ranking or recommending job sites. Many graduate schools refer to these online career-counseling sites to build their own database.

Tools That Can Help You

Self-assessment and interests, values inventories, self-assessment tools, personality and IQ tests, and aptitude quizzes help analyze your true potential.
The Keirsey Temperament Sorter test helps gauge your personality profile. The Career Planning Process, Career Change, and Hoover’s Online are a few popular career- counseling resources. The Riley Guide, Resume Writing, Career Services and America’s Job Bank are helpful as well. A job seeker may also refer to Yahoo! Classifieds-Employment, Contract Employment Weekly, Jobs Online, UST Career Development Center, Monster.com, Job Web, and Career Mosaic.

If all this confuses you don’t hesitate to go to your local community college or university. They have career counseling centers that can provide a large amount of information and staff that is eager to help.

Many have this concerted admiration for the police and make it their singular obsession to become a law enforcement officer. However these days the police tests are becoming difficult so much so that only the fittest manage to survive. Their dream of joining the police force will suffer a jolt if they have not worked hard at facing the many tests that they are required to pass.

Much planning has to go into the preparation, replete with knowledge of what you have to study and how and where to source this information. It is said that visiting sites like “police path” and Sgt. Goday’s impartation of how to acquire oral skills have greatly aided many aspirants.

The first step in police tests is called “Application process” which many of us also know of as the entrance exam. All your efforts should be harnessed at garnering sufficient information and knowledge to face your first hurdle with ease. Crossing this process is paramount because you can go no further in your career ambition without passing these tests. Many, who attend these tests and fail, face so much of disappointment that they shy away from making another attempt. Shakespeare had written that ‘Ambition should be of sterner stuff” and this should be the mantra of every police job enthusiast.

Intelligence and common sense are two God given gifts to humans and play an extremely important role in the next police test process which is known as “Assessment Test”. Before you attend this process, make sure to get hold of previous years’ question papers on this subject and familiarize yourself to the various kinds of questions that can be posed to you and also read and answers to these questions several times so that they may be imprinted in your mind, enabling you to write the tests calmly, peacefully, and successfully and go to the next step in your career graph.

The system of police tests in the UK has introduced what is called numerical testing where you have to answer 25 questions by picking the correct answers from a list of five alternatives per question given to you. The total time given is only 12 minutes and this is supposed to assess your familiarity and capability with numbers.

Your skills in communication and response to situations, which are very vital in a police man’s career, are tested by oral tests which more or less give an assessment of the candidate, especially his personality.

The importance of physical condition of the aspirant in police tests can never be denied and the physical tests play a major role in assessing whether he would be healthy and fit enough to take on the difficult and demanding job of a police officer.

I graduated high school in 1980. I am an empty nester now and feel it is time for me to work towards a career I have aways wanted. I have a problem with “tests” I need a help in locating the proper training tools to prepare. Also, does anyone know if there are government grants for the old folks like myself? THANKS

I took the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test and scored ISFJ. How can I use these results to help me in college and in choosing a career?
