“Whatever the case may be, the benefits far outweigh any hesitation about getting one.”
, tells Bustle. "If you're thinking about a career change and you're unsure of what it would really be like to do something else, try it out first. Look for a short-term volunteer, freelance, or internship opportunity in the evenings or on weekends to see if this is something you are really going to pursue. Schedule informational interviews with people in the same position you see yourself in so that you can ask questions and get more familiar with your potential new career.
"Once you've decided on making your career shift, it's time to figure out your next steps," Lane says. "If you need to acquire a certification or take classes, this is the time to create an action plan with deadlines to keep yourself on track while you're still at your current job. Clear deadlines are the lifelines to your next career. It's also time to network to new work. Think about your current relationships and perhaps making new ones.
Wood agrees. "If you are already in the throes of the job search process, but you are struggling to get interviews, a career coach can help you refresh your resume and enhance your personal brand, especially online. Having a strong LinkedIn profile and online presence are becoming increasingly important, and a career coach can help you tailor these to your job search goals.
"Sometimes you have all the right tools to land interviews but you struggle to get a call back or a job offer," says Wood. "A career coach can not only help you build your confidence so that you can walk into the next interview looking and sounding like a pro, but they will also coach you on the tactical components of interviewing, like what to wear, how to prepare, body language, how to structure your answers to questions, and follow-up best practices.
Or, you may have gotten promoted at your current company, but could a boost of help from an outside source. "Perhaps you just received a promotion and you are managing people for the first time, or maybe you are now working in a remote capacity, which is new for you," says Wood. "A career coach can help guide you through this transition and help you build the necessary skills to be successful in this new position.
