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.
Even more important is the role of the CV as a tool for claiming the desired job position. An up-to-date CV, written in line with modern labor market trends, is the 'passport' that will lead us to the interview.
What is the duration of the career counseling process?
In general, the duration of the career counseling process depends on what we want to achieve. If we wish to transition to a similar job in a different organization, we will need to update our CV and prepare for the interview with potential employers.
If we want to change our field of work, more exploration is needed to analyze the reasons behind this decision and to plan the most suitable solutions for us.
In any case, it is important to explore ways to improve ourselves and grow as professionals.

What is the appropriate age to start the academic counseling process?
Teenagers in the final year of middle school and the first year of high school are usually ready to begin this process, as they start to think seriously about their future.
However, academic counseling is also useful and necessary even in the final year of high school.
What is the methodology of academic counseling?
Every teenager has different needs. Some have never been exposed to a similar process and are literally adrift in a sea of options. Others have already decided on their path and just need confirmation to move forward.
The approach for each child is different. In the first session, we carefully listen to what the issue is, make it clear to everyone involved — children, parents — and suggest how we will proceed each time.
Given that the teenager needs help with choosing their studies and understanding their career prospects, they are asked to complete a questionnaire concerning their personality, unique abilities, and interests.
Therefore, during the second session, a full presentation is made of the teenager’s personality and the recommended academic and career directions that suit them.
Between the second and third sessions, the teenager is invited to actively participate in a dynamic process of exploring alternative options through recommended informational sources. In this way, they gain a much clearer picture both of the subject of study and the career prospects associated with it.
In the third session, the teenager is guided toward making a decision. Academic and career counseling does not stop at this point. The teenager is encouraged to contact us at any time they feel the need.
What is the usual duration of the academic counseling process?
The first two sessions can take place over approximately two weeks. The third session, if deemed necessary, is scheduled once the teenager has completed the exploration of the alternative options discussed with us.
Is there value in conducting the academic counseling process with university students and adults?
At every stage of adult life, this process is important as it provides useful information for highlighting aspects of our personality that guide us in shaping our professional path. When we work in an environment compatible with our personality, we feel a sense of joy and fulfillment.
Is the validity of this counseling process proven over time?
Teenagers who have discovered the goal that motivates them, parents who see their children satisfied, and adults who have redefined their careers are the answer when it comes to the benefits our approach offers in this very important pillar of life — education and career.
Additionally, during our professional lives — more likely than ever in today’s world — external conditions may lead us to change our field of work. However, the personality types revealed through the counseling process will serve as a compass for every new professional step.
