CAREER CHANGE STARTS HERE – Career Coaching Workshop

“There’s no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love. There is only a scarcity of resolve to make it happen.” – Wayne Dyer

Many employees drift through their career working in jobs lacking fulfilment or any real satisfaction. Others believe that work is not for enjoyment therefore taking little action to find that dream job. As a result it is estimated that as many as 80% of employees are unhappy at work and on the wrong career road.

• Do you want to be inspired to take up the challenge of career change?
• Do you want your career to add to your life as opposed to take from it?
• Do you want to push yourself out of your comfort zone and adopt the strategy of measured risk?

 “Career Change Starts Here” workshop is your opportunity to learn essential career direction skills and to de-clutter your mind and focus.  It will help with career planning and motivate you to take action with insightful information on key career tools, job search strategies and winning CV writing.

I am a career doctor with The Sunday Tribune – Here is a recent Q&A.I am planning to go into 3rd level education to help my career prospects. I have been told that without a 3rd level qualification you have less chance of getting a decent job?A 3rd level qualification is a prerequisite for many jobs advertised in the national papers or on the internet job boards. There is a perception that a 3rd level qualification is the key to career success but I have a somewhat different view on this.Through my experience in recruitment and career coaching I have seen many individuals with excellent qualifications who struggle with their career, often working in jobs below their potential. Equally, I have seen many individuals with little or no qualifications who scale the heights of different careers with relative ease. These observations would indicate that a qualification does not equate to career success but also that a lack of qualifications does not equate to career failure.A 3rd level qualification will open more doors for you and it will increase your chances of securing job interviews as outlined it can often be a prerequisite for selection to interview. A qualification will help you market yourself better while job hunting as many hiring managers put a weight on qualifications. Having said all this you still have to impress at interview and impress on the job when you have secured it.

I am a Career Doctor with The Sunday Tribune. Here is a Q&A postI am considering doing a Degree in Business Studies and I want to know what options are available to me as a career should I choose this qualification?

A Degree in Business Studies is an excellent qualification in that it covers all the business functions providing students with a broad knowledge and understanding of commerce. Many business qualifications give the option for students to specialise in a particular business function such as marketing or purchasing in the latter years.

With the broad nature of this course there are a large number of possible career options available for individuals and this is one of the reasons why many students choose a Business qualification. These options can include, but are not limited to, finance, marketing, sales, purchasing, materials and human resources. The choice available to students is great but this can cause confusion. Therefore it is essential that you use your time studying to investigate which direction or roles suit you best.

One final point I will make is that you should decide what you want to do with your career and not let your qualification dictate your career path. Too many graduates feel tied to pursuing a career related to their qualification when they have graduated. This does not have to be the case.
