Steps to take to start your career as a Job Developer and other jobs like it
- There are many career and life related aspects to approach to coaching. Make sure to choose one you have experience and interest in. You need to have a deep basis of knowledge to pull from to coach others through the same path.
- It’s not required but it does help you stand out from other providers and shows potential clients that you meet a minimum bar of training and understanding.
- Set up time to get coached by someone else. In order to know how to set up the right environment, mental approach and coaching plan, it’s invaluable to have gone through this process yourself.
- Being a career coach often means also running your own business. Set-up includes needed certifications, software, a place to do your work, how to charge customers and many other things that come with running a business. Give yourself time to work through this.
- This is where all the prep work pays off because if no one knows you exist then they can’t be your customer so marketing, even informally, is key.
What I do:
I am currently a career coach. I offer private one-on-one coaching for individuals. I do small group coaching and I'm also a consultant.
Career Requirements:
While it's not technically required, having a certification is just kind of a bit of social proof for people that says, "Hey, this person knows what they're doing," and they've had some practice and learning education around this topic.
Career Skills:
Honestly, it's very interpersonal types of things like empathy, listening, being able to see patterns. So it really comes down to understanding people and their behavior and being able to help them discover things that are already inside them.
Tips to Become a Coach:
I would absolutely say if you are even thinking about being a coach, any kind, career coach, life coach, soccer coach, I honestly would say get coached first. To understand the process, to feel what it is like, to understand what it entails.
Career Motivation:
I had been a college professor, had moved away from that, moved into staffing and recruiting, working with people every day, helping them get jobs that they loved, and I wanted to continue that in a deeper way and I found my coaching was a great way to do that.
Career Challenges:
I work for myself as a career coach. I own my own business, so the burnout is real. I make all of the decisions, which is a privilege, but it honestly is a very big challenge as well.
