Career Counseling
In an era where technology and many other factors – calculated or not – determine the labor market, professionals are called upon to re-evaluate their careers. Moreover, professionals that are unsatisfied with their career choices often search for alternative jobs that will satisfy them more and lead them to a sense of fulfillment.
Career counseling answers your quest to change jobs or even professional identity, which is possible at any age.
We support our adult clients throughout the process, including setting their career goals, providing guidance on education and skills training and supporting in the implementation of their next steps.
1st meeting
The first stage of the process focuses on exploring the current situation and the client's request.
2nd meeting
During the second stage, the goal is co-defined and clearly described.
3rd meeting
The third stage of the counseling process concerns the method for achieving the goal and the necessary steps to implement it.
Specifically, a client preparing to pursue a new job position or even a career change may need to enrich their academic and/or professional profile with new knowledge and skills.
An updated, concise résumé and interview preparation constitute the final stage of the process.

Why is the CV important?
An excellently organized and concise CV, combined with a well-structured cover letter, is important for two reasons: First, they are elements of our self-awareness in relation to our professional identity. They help us realize who we are, what our achievements are, our journey, and what exactly we are aiming for. That is why our active participation in the CV creation process is essential.

In any case, it is important to explore ways to improve ourselves and grow as professionals.
