How Will Career Counseling Help Me?

Career counseling will help most people gain better insight into what motivates them and where they can gain increased satisfaction in their work-life.

The natural abilities you were born with and innately motivated to use will be considered, and how to use these best used in future roles.

What I found most helpful was the discussion about my motivated abilities and how these had kept repeating themselves in previous jobs. I found this discussion process of impartial career evaluation quite useful and would recommend Simon to anyone looking for careers help.

This self-discovery knowledge is important in relation to securing optimal work.
Perhaps for the first time in your life, you will begin to understand the type of work that will bring you real meaning, fulfillment, and satisfaction.

If you have experienced frustration in your career because of a bad job fit, career counseling can bring clarity to future career decisions.

It can be an enlightening process for people who are not sure what job they would be best at or those who have been working in a job where they have become frustrated and disillusioned.

 

1. What Does a Career Counselor Do?

A career counselor can help if you:

1. Are thinking about changing careers?
2. Aren’t fulfilled or satisfied in your work but are unsure why this is.
3. Have been made redundant and want to consider other employment or self-employment options.
4. Have finished school or university but are unsure what work you would like to do?

2. What Will I Get Out of This?

Career counseling is about discovering what your natural gifts and abilities are, what you are motivated towards in life, and how these fit in with job possibilities.

It’s also about empowering you as a person to make the right choices and encouraging you to take action from the information you gain.
However, what a career counselor doesn’t do [or at least shouldn’t do] is to make decisions for you.

 

3. What Makes Me a Good Career Advice Counselor?

The short answer is that I love what I do and have a deep desire to see the maximum potential extracted from others.

I have worked within the career counseling profession for over ten years in Australia and New Zealand, as self-employed and working for another organization and on government contracts.
I have a Diploma in Career Counseling and a Certificate in Vocational Assessment and many satisfied clients.
For more information about me, see my About Me page.

If you are having trouble completing your Dream Career Finder assessment, and you think you may never get it completed, you can still take advantage of this one on one career discovery session offer by using this 45-minute session to fast-track the assessment process and use other ways of identifying your top skills.

The result is you will still receive your four-plus page personalized Career Options Report that specifies a list of jobs that best fit you based on the information we have gathered together. Here is a sample of the report you will receive.

You will have a 45-minute one-on-one career consulting session with Simon Davies (via Skype, zoom, phone), followed up by a written 4–5-page personalized career options report detailing a list of jobs that best fits your personality and motivational type. This report is created from a combination of your Dream Career Finder assessment results(if completed or if partly completed), plus our 45-minute one-on-one session, plus any other assessment I may offer you to assist with the process (at no charge).

You will also receive completely FREE:

• Information Interviewing PDF – this lays out in a step-by-step manner how to become as certain as possible about which career to choose from your shortlist.
• Accessing the Invisible Job Market PDF – did you know that approximately 80% of all jobs come from the invisible job market (that means they are never advertised). And did you know that the most common way of people searching for work just happens to be statistically the absolute worst way to find a job. This information will give you a considerable head start in the job market and see you land a job much faster.
• Contacts and Networking PDF – One of the most common reasons for failure in job searching is the inefficient use of, or total lack of contacts. This information explains in a very practical manner how to make the most of networking and contacts in your job search.

(see Career Options Report sample)

This next step will provide some real traction toward your new job. Take up this offer of a 45-minute one-on-one career directions session (via phone, Skype or Zoom). Say goodbye to a disillusioned and frustrating work life. I often say to clients about taking action on important issues, “If this is important, when would be a good time to act?”

Procrastination is a killer!

_{(BTW, if you want to read a great book- actually the best book I think I’ve read on the subject of getting moving in any area of your life – see The War of Art, by Steven Pressfield)}

During our 45 minute session, we will assess any part of your Dream Career Finder that you may have finished, then probe other pertinent information like your motivations, personality type, skills or personal values, as well as consider if other assessments may be worth completing (included in the cost).

And finally, as a result of these interventions and one-on-one work, I will produce your fully-personalized Career Options Report.  The Career Options Report will provide a range of personalised job possibilities (typically 10-20) for you to consider based on our session together and any other career tools we may utilise. This report also details recommended action steps for you to implement (with my help if you require it), some related resources and the provision to email me back to ask any questions relating to my report recommendations.

Lets get to work on discovering who you were truly meant to be in the world of work.

You will begin to understand, perhaps for the first time in your life, about the types of work that you are truly passionate about and most motivated to do.

The gifts and abilities that you were born with and naturally motivated to use will be addressed. And a plan implemented to encourage these natural motivations to be used in future jobs.

For many people, this is critical information they learn about themselves in relation to the work they should be doing.
Perhaps for the first time in your life, you will begin to understand the type of work that will bring you real meaning, fulfillment, and satisfaction.

If you have experienced frustration in your career because of a “bad fit” in your job, some face-to-face sessions can be tremendously beneficial in bringing clarity to your career decision

It can be a wonderfully enlightening process for the many people who are not quite sure what job they would be best at or those who have been working in a job for quite some time and feel frustrated and disillusioned about the fulfillment they are receiving from their work.

I provide face-to-face career advice in the Gold Coast area, for local clients and one-on-one sessions via telephone, Skype etc for those living elsewhere.

 

1. What Does a Career Counsellor Do?

A career counselor may work with the following types of people.
Those who:

1. Are thinking about changing careers.
2. I have finished school or University but are unsure of what work they would like to do.
3. I have been made redundant and want to consider other options.
4. They aren’t fulfilled or satisfied in their work but are unsure why this is.

2. What Will I Get Out of This?

The primary goal of career counseling is to help you understand yourself better in relation to the world of work.
And this includes looking at what your primary gifts and abilities are, what things you are most motivated towards in life and how these fit in with job possibilities.

It’s also about empowering you as a person to make the right choices from the information you have.
However, what a career counselor doesn’t do [or at least shouldn’t do] is to make decisions for you.

 

3. What Makes Me a Good Career Advice Counselor?

I guess the easy answer is that I love what I do and have a natural desire to see the maximum potential extracted out of other people.

I have worked within the career advice profession for over ten years, both self-employed and working for another organization.
I have a Diploma in Career Counseling and a Certificate in Vocational Assessment. And I have many satisfied clients.
For more information about me, please visit the About Me page.

 

4. How Many Sessions Will I Need?

This is a difficult question to answer.
There are two parts to what I do with clients.
The first is to help them identify what they are good at, as discussed above.

The second is to work with them as they work through their job search.
If you need help with your job search, the number of sessions required will be considerably more than if you just need help with working out what you are good at.

To book a time please phone 0487 185557 or use the Contact tab

If using the contact form please indicate two appointments times that would be suitable for you. Please also include your daytime phone number on the form.

All face-to-face appointments are conducted at my home office on the Gold Coast.

(Delhi, India)

Hi, my name is Shashank, I’m a web designer but I’m not sure about this as my future career. I want to change my profession from a web designer to a 3D animator.
Please tell me if this is the right career decision.
Thanks and regards

Simon Replies

Hi Shashank,
I’m going to need a bit more information from you before I can help you.

1. Please explain to me why you have doubts about your career as a web designer. Are you bored? Is it a question of money? What, if anything do you enjoy about your job as a web designer? What in particular don’t you like about it?

2. What is it about a 3-D animator career that appeals to you?

3. Do you know anybody that currently works as a 3-D animator? (If so have you spoken with them about this type of work)

4. Are you aware of the market conditions for 3-D animators in your area?
(From now until 2021, it is expected that there will be an approximate 12% increase in the demand for this type of work in the United States according to the Department of Statistics – which is high compared to other job type forecasts)

5. On a pure enjoyment level, how much fulfillment and satisfaction do you think this type of work would bring you?
(How much passion you bring to a job and how much you really enjoy that type of work is one of the best foundations for good career choice).

Please post your answers in the comments column below.
Just doing some deep thinking about the questions above should be helpful in itself.

If you decide to get some training here are some of your best 3D training course options

Regards
Simon
