IT Career Coaching
Why You Need an IT Career Coach
Whether you’re not happy where you’re currently working, are looking to make a career change, or are just looking to stay ahead of the curve, working with my coaching program can help you learn the skills necessary to stand apart from the other IT job seekers out there.
Whether you’re trying to switch to another position, trying to get hired or just thinking about long-term improvement, I can help you find out what you’re good at and where you need to improve, as well as help you formulate a plan for future success.
What It Takes to Be Successful in IT
There is a common misconception out there that to get into IT or move up in your IT career that all you need to do is get Certifications (CCNA, MCSE, Security +, etc) and you will be set. Unfortunately that just isn’t the case.
To be successful in today’s world, we need to be business-oriented, effective communicators and strategic in nature. IT professionals can no longer hide behind the mystery of technology and certifications.
That’s a lot to accomplish, but you don’t have to go it alone. If you dream of making it to the upper echelons of IT, the reality is that building a plan for your career and professional development, understanding the tricks-of-the-trade is critical for long-term success and relevance. And that’s where my career coaching program comes in.
What Can Coaching Do For You?
My coaching program is not necessarily to help you find a new job, but rather focus on your professional growth and development. It enables you to improve your awareness of your goals, objectives, strengths, weaknesses, desires, aspirations, barriers, etc. It may include finding a different job in or outside your company. It may include improving your performance in your current role. It may also focus on reframing how you view your situation to enhance your satisfaction or reduce your stress.
Very few of us actually know our careers or really have a sense of what we’ve done that’s most critical and most valuable to an employer. Even if you don’t work in IT now, you may think you have nothing you can put on a resume that an employer would want to see. I help you identify those accomplishments, and gain real confidence to get you in the door for the interview, and kill it when you get there.
