Use Career Counseling To Get New Career Direction

After 10 successful but unsatisfying years on the job, how do you pick up, find direction and move on to a more satisfying career?

Sunday night had arrived. Dave felt sick to his stomach. He'd soon be crawling out of bed and into the office. For yet another miserable work day.

It wasn't always this way. In fact, he used to enjoy the work. And he was good at what he did.

Over his 10 years on the job Dave quickly moved up the ranks from an entry level position to co-manager of a multi-million dollar business.

The work wasn't exactly what he wanted to be doing. But he was successful. And he made it work.

Until things started to change

When the general manager left the company unexpectedly, the owners turned to Dave to keep the business running. This caused stress he had never felt on the job before.

Stress Dave began to carry home. Stress that put a strain on his family life. And for what? A job he wasn't even passionate about. How did 10 years slip by so quickly? It was time to move on.

It was time to make some career decisions

But where do you begin after 10 years on the job? You know you don't want to do the same type of work. But what should you do? It's one thing to get another 'job.' But how do you find your true career direction? So you don't end up in another miserable situation.

This is why we've developed the 1-Hour Career Jump Start Phone Session

If you know it's time for a career change, but you're unsure where to begin the 1-Hour Career Jump Start Phone Session is for you. This one-on-one phone session guides you to make a change that fits your true career direction.

Once you know your true career direction, you’ll understand the work you really love to do. You’ll be able to confirm that you're about to head down the right path. You’ll also get the right advice on dealing with your current career situation.

Now you can speak to someone with the ability to "see" what's wrong with your current career and who will clearly articulate a plan for fixing it.

You'll receive expert guidance directly from me, Michael T. Robinson, President of CareerPlanner.com.

My expertise is helping people like you discover what it is you really want to do for a living. In fact that is my passion. It's why I created CareerPlanner.com.

We've developed special tools and techniques to help you discover your optimum career direction. You won't find these tools and this approach to Career Counseling any where else on the web, except maybe from those who have tried to copy us.

My approach to Career Counseling is different than most.

I'm not a recruiter, HR manager or new age life coach. Instead I come from a background of building and creating successful, international, high tech businesses. My perspective is that of the hiring manager.

As a successful Vice President and CEO for over 25 years I've hired, trained, and coached people for my own organizations in the US, Europe, Taiwan, China, and Korea.

If I hired the right people and put them in the right jobs, we were successful. If I hired the wrong people or put people in the wrong jobs, we failed. It's as simple as that. That's when I discovered I had a special talent for helping people with their career direction.

William W, 28 year old (ISFJ) client from Connecticut says:

Contacting Michael at careerplanner.com was the best thing I have done in a long time. I have been in the same dead end job for 10 years and needed a change. At first I was skeptical to contact Michael simply because I was uncertain how helpful an "online counselor" could be, but I figured trying something was better then doing nothing and for $325.00 its worth a shot.

Not only was it well worth every penny, but now knowing how helpful it is, is a small price to pay. Michael has gone above and beyond since the very first contact we had which was simply, "what is your business about". The tests you take are nothing compared to the compassionate help you get when you speak to him on the phone.

Thanks again Michael, Keep up the good work!!

Why do I do this?

It's immensely satisfying to help a person who is confused and discouraged about their career.

Together, we will discover the work you truly want to do.

We will lay out the next few steps for you to get there. I'll ask you the right questions and I will listen to you very carefully. I'll provide strategic insight from your Career Interest Test and your Personality (Psychological) Type Test. I will drive the discussion towards the point when the light bulb flashes on and we both know what it is you truly want to do.

All without spending thousands of dollars. I don't think there are many others who can do all this within 1 hour.

Michael,

"Just wanted to thank you again for the time you spent with me on Monday, and the sound advice on business and career.

In fact, I had a conference call with my boss today, using the approach and phrasing you recommended in our call.

Things went better than I could have imagined!

It appears I will have the freedom to turn over my current position and design a new one much more suited to my personality.

I doubt I would have had the confidence, and certainly not the positive approach to this, had I not met with you first."

From D.F., a 51 year old Chief Scientist / Executive in Austin, Texas.

Can you really get value from a 1-hour phone session?"

"Before the one hour was over we had come up with a new career path for me."

"For the last 15 years I have built a successful career as a sales executive, working for the same company. But during the last few years I found myself hating my job."

"You helped me understand what it was about the job that was killing me. Your questions and career tests reminded me of what I really wanted to do with my career."

"Before the one hour was over we had come up with a new career path for me. One where I don't have to throw away my years of experience."

"Thank you..." John (ESTJ), a 35 year old 1-Hour Career Jump Start Phone Session client from Los Angeles

Here's what happens during the 1-Hour Career Jump Start Phone Session

Every session is unique depending on your needs, but most go as follows: First, I listen very carefully to your story. After you tell me about your background, I'll ask you specific questions to uncover the problem you're having now.

Together we'll go through the results of your Personality and Career Interest tests. You’ll take these tests before the call. This way we'll both be on the same page as we interpret your results.

Your story, answers to specific questions and the results of your tests allow us to complete your career puzzle. Then we'll begin to brainstorm and explore your options for the future.

The "Ah-ha!" moment

As we dig deeper into what's happening with your career, we'll eventually reach the "Ah-ha!" moment. This moment unlocks the door to what it is you should be doing. Once we get to this point we'll be able to map out the exact steps you'll need to take to move in a new career direction.

The 1-Hour Career Jump Start Phone Session is not like other services

This service doesn't’t ask you to make a large up front payment. Nor does it try to lock you into some long-term contract. I'll never make any promises related to getting you job or a certain salary.

But I will happily provide you with specific answers about how to achieve your goals along with constructive criticism of what's been happening to date with your career. And yes, you'll even end the call with homework to get you moving in the right direction.

The bottom line is that it's your career

Testimonials*

Susan (ESFP), a 36 year old, One Hour Career Jump Start customer from Florida.

"I come from an entrepreneurial family and grew up working in the family business. "

"But with the recession, the two industries I worked in, retail and real estate,are dead."

"I found myself needing to make a career change, because those markets would not be coming back any time soon, especially in Florida."

"The light bulb went on for me during our one hour session, when you showed me that the work I had been doing was really marketing and that I could apply my skill set to other industries that weren't so hard hit."

"I especially liked the step by step advice you gave me to market myself and find a job in another industry."

"Thank you. With this new direction, I'm confident I can now go out and restart my career."

Richard (INTJ), a 45 year old IT professional from Pittsburgh, PA.

"I had been with the same company for ten years, but two years ago I started to get bored and lose motivation."

"The job was grinding me down. It was a struggle to drag myself into the office on Monday mornings."

"I also noticed that I wasn't being given new opportunities and new challenges, even though my projects were all considered successful and my reviews were pretty good."

"Your diagnosis of the problem was spot on. My responsibilities changed a few years ago, and it was just enough of a change that I was no longer well suited to the work."

"Using the personality test, you showed me the exact type of work I love and the types of work that turn me off. I can't believe I didn't already know this about myself."

"Thanks for shining a light on my career."

Helen (ESFP), a 28 year old One Hour Career Jump Start customer from New York had this to say about her Career Counseling Session:

"After getting my Bachelor's degree and working for a few years I became very discouraged because I felt like I wasn't achieving anything meaningful."

"I was working on Wall Street and I think they kept me around because I was the token pretty skirt. But I didn't go through 5 years of college for that."

"You reminded me of why I really went to college and what my dreams were. Then you helped build a vision of my future."

"I really appreciate how you laid out the exact steps I should take to find my next job. What types of companies to look for and what type of work I should do. Thank you very much."

Linda (INTP), a 52 year old One Hour Career Jump Start client from New York said:

"I had left a very successful career to take care of aging parents, but now it was time to go back to work. Only problem was that I didn't want to do the same thing. I wanted a career change. But I didn't know what to change."

"Plus I had lost some of my self confidence with the tough job market, my age and the time I took off."

"The One Hour Jump Start Career Counseling Session gave me the push I needed. You helped me figure out a different career path where I could still use the skills listed in my resume."

"Finally, I got a real confidence boost during our discussion because your questions reminded me of all the things I had accomplished."

"Thank you very much. I'm going to recommend you to my nephew who is struggling with his career direction.

William (ENFP) a 28 year old entrepreneur working in his family's business in California:

"I called you on a Sunday, because I was about to go in on Monday and tell the boss (my Uncle) that he was destroying the company with his approach and I was going to quit."

"I couldn't take it anymore. Even though I was destined to take over the business, it wasn't going to be worth it."

"What I liked was that you were able to explain to me why my boss and I had constant friction. By seeing the differences in our personality types, I was able to understand him better."

"I used the techniques you showed me for working with his personality type. I tried them on Monday and we had the most productive meeting in years."

Parents and son career counseling clients

George, Mary and their 14 year old son Robert, from Canada had this to say about the One Hour Jump Start Career Coaching Session they did while Robert was still in high school.

"We wanted to plan for our son's high school and college education, but we couldn't figure out what suited him. Even though we lived with him everyday, Robert, like most teenagers was still a bit of a mystery to us."

"The light bulb went on for us when you interpreted the results of his Personality Test. That's when we began to see what motivated Robert and what he was passionate about."

"Between the test results and your career counseling questions it became clear what our son's true passions were. "

"When you showed us the careers that match him the best, a vision of his future became clear to all of us."

"Thank you. Robert might have stumbled around for years trying to find the right career. With you it only took an hour."
