Is getting a career coach worth it?

JobsDB.com Singapore attempts to answer a question as common as 'How can I perfect my resume?'.

Definitely, yes. Getting career advice from a coach may be costly, but worth it. Whether you are just getting started in your career or have been working for years, you will benefit from the services of a career coach. A career coach can not only give you effective tips on career advancement and development, but also stand as your emotional support during times of uneasiness. Having a career coach is like having a friend that understands your work aspirations and frustrations.


In specific terms, a career coach can:

...teach you tips and tricks to advance your career.
...point you the parts of your career that need to be worked on.
...help you accomplish goals.
...help you to stay focused.
...let you know WHEN to ask for a raise.
...help you get ready for a promotion.
...keep your career path aligned with your lifestyle.
...lead you to the right seminars and training programs for faster career advancement.
...boost your confidence levels.
...instill important career qualities in you like in time management, leadership, office etiquette, among others.
...let you know WHEN to opt for a career change or not.
...provide you adequate support, both emotional and professional, in case you choose to pursue a career change.

And of course, there's more. Just think along those lines.

Are there alternatives for career coaching? Yes. Attending career seminars and workshops can be as beneficial in your career as getting a career coach, provided you know which to attend and which to pass up. Attending every seminar that comes your way can be a big waste of time, and so, be specially careful in choosing which ones to attend. Nevertheless, let's get you started.
