Sometimes we need to talk to someone about finding a job or what type of job might suit best, or when considering a change in career or when needing to figure out how to stop feeling stagnant and how to re-vitalize ourselves so that we feel good again about our work. Making a living, doing well at work, and feeling satisfied and fulfilled in what we do is important not just in wanting to move ahead and earn to our potential but also in developing and maintaining a positive self-image. Exploring your goals, career planning and setting a direction that makes sense for you, properly focusing your training and education so that it will get you to where you need to be, properly focusing your work search so that you can be better at knowing how and where to look, and identifying and discussing your options, can all be important. They can help clarify what you want in life, what your work world should look like and how to get there, as well as how to deal with change and restructuring and developing a new role for ourselves as needed to take advantage of new developments.

Whether we work for others or are self-employed our working life can go on for decades. It can mean so much in how we see ourselves and whether we feel accomplished or not. Vocational/career counselling helps get us on track.
