    A: A career coach helps you build the skills and capabilities to improve your job-searching skills. They can help you write a cover letter, review your resume, and practice interview skills.

    A: Valuable industry experience: When you find the right career coach, your investment of a few hundred dollars will more than pay off in the long run. Good career coaches have worked within an industry for quite some time or have years of experience in job recruitment, which gives them unique insight.

    A: By exploring your skills, strengths, and interests, career counselors are able to offer the most personalized advice to identify the best fitting career paths for you, and ultimately, which careers are the least likely to bring you joy. For students, career counseling offers a host of other benefits often not realized.

    A: Career coaches focus on the current situation and often create action goals to move forward. On the other hand, career counselors may look for past experiences or barriers that may be causing the challenges.

    A: Life coaches can help you

    overcome the Monday morning blues
    build confidence
    find a career that you love
    get clear on your goals
    stay accountable to your goals
    do more of the activities that engage you
    form better relationships
    have more meaning in your life


    A: Career coaching typically consists of a series of one-on-one sessions between you and your coach, usually lasting 45 to 60 minutes each. Most clients meet with their career coach once a week, although some clients meet every two weeks or even just once a month.

    A: A mentor is someone who shares their knowledge, skills and/or experience, to help another to develop and grow. A coach is someone who provides guidance to a client on their goals and helps them reach their full potential.

    A: The right time for students to seek the guidance of a Career Counsellor is during the ages of 13-17 years (8th standard to 12th standard). This is the age of transition where they need maximum guidance.

    A: If you are considering a career change, either due to dissatisfaction with your current job or seeking new challenges, career counselling can help you evaluate your skills, interests, and potential career paths, develop a plan for transitioning to a new career, and identify resources to support your career change.

    A: While a career coach will help you achieve job-related goals, a life coach will focus on your personal goals. Life coaches help their clients determine which changes they want to make in their lives, and then help formulate the steps clients need to take to reach these personal goals.
