Frequently asked questions

Why does finding a Board-Certified Career Professional matter?

With so many self-proclaimed & untrained career “experts” easily found on the internet, seekers need to find competent, trained career practitioners who can support, advise, empathize, and celebrate as people get back to successful work.
A credential represents a formal validation of an individual’s qualifications & professional competencies in a specific industry.
The value is found in the fact that certification ensures proficiency, provides credibility & transparency, and confirms strengths and expertise as a formal validation of core standards of practice.

What is Career Counseling/Coaching?

It is an investment in your future!
Making a career transition or seeking a new job requires lots of time, commitment, & persistence to land the successful position that will meet your career goals.
It is less about your time or bottom line cost, and more about the return on investment for the rest of your working life.
