CAREER TRANSITION

​A Career Transition can be a challenging time in your life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty.

It may be the result of a job loss or perhaps the decision was made to make a change because you are just not happy in your current circumstances.

You may be returning to work after being out of the workplace for a while, or you may be seeking to start a career in an entirely new field.

You may just simply want to find more fulfilling work. Whatever the case, it is not an easy time and there are so many things to consider and decisions to be made.

Career Counseling is an invaluable resource for individuals who are struggling with a career transition. If you are at a time in your life where you are making a career change, we can help make the transition less difficult by offering aptitude testing and a variety of career assessments that will help you learn more about yourself and what your natural abilities are. Self awareness is extremely important in making significant career decisions.

We use a whole-person approach in counseling, taking into consideration your natural abilities, occupational interests, passions, career values and motivators, as well as previous work experience and skills that you’ve developed.

“Most people think they know what they‘re good at. They are usually wrong. More often, people know
what they’re not good at – and even then, more people are wrong than right.” ~Peter F. Drucker

Through Aptitude Testing and Career Assessments, we can help you identify your own unique pattern of natural abilities and special gifts.  We will help you to clarify your occupational interests and values and find out what motivates you.  We begin our counseling with a narrative interview  and then offer a number of assessments to help uncover your strengths and define your passions and career values, motivators, and interests.

Recent College Graduates
(Career Launchers)

Are you a recent college graduate with no idea what you want to do?
