It’s Not About The Job; It’s About Your Life!
By Ford R. Myers
President of Career Potential, LLC
When it comes to job search and career development, I think 99% of the population has it wrong and “does it backwards.” This realization comes from my more than 25 years of experience as a Career Coach, and after working with literally thousands of clients.
Looking back, I believe that this opinion has been developing in my mind for many years. But it was only recently that my thoughts crystallized into a form that I could express in a succinct message.
New clients often feel anxious about their career situations, and express a great sense of urgency or even panic about finding a new job quickly. Their focus is almost always on the JOB – “I need a new job; I have to get a job fast; Please help me land a better job now,” etc. While I understand this experience, I always try to shift the focus of the conversation to other, more important questions. You might ask, “For a person in career transition or out of work, what could be more important than quickly finding a new job?”

A carpenter would never show-up at a construction site with only a hammer. A graphic artist would never interview for a design position without showing a complete portfolio. So why is it that most job seekers use only their resume as the cornerstone of their search?
Job seekers over-emphasize the resume because their other “tools” are weak or nonexistent. But the resume should actually be one of your least used job-seeking tools! Unfortunately, most people don’t know what these other tools are or how to use them effectively.
By integrating these other elements into your job search – and not relying solely on the resume – you can add power, professionalism and flexibility to your efforts. Finding the right job and building a satisfying career is much easier when you have the right tools!
Career-Coach-on-CallSM
“Urgent Care” For Your Career
Do you have the occasional need for career guidance, but not enough to justify engaging in a complete career coaching program? Would you like quick access to a leading career expert, and only pay for as much coaching as you need?
Then we have the perfect solution for you. Career-Coach-on-Call is a new service offering from Career Potential, LLC.
Until now, Career Potential, LLC only accepted “full program clients” and offered no “coaching by the hour.” Career-Coach-on-Call makes professional career coaching more flexible and accessible on a short-term basis, without the big commitment.
Career Coaching via Video Conference
Our coaching model allows us to work remotely and still provide exceptional levels of connection, quality and impact.
Here are just some of the benefits of doing career coaching via video chat:
Safety – clients enjoy productive, one-on-one coaching sessions without worrying about possible exposure to Coronavirus
Time – clients save time by not having to travel to our offices for coaching sessions
Comfort – clients are often more comfortable working from their own homes or offices
Flexibility – clients experience fewer planning conflicts and more options with scheduling
Convenience – clients who travel for work are still able to attend their coaching appointments by using mobile devices from anywhere
Career coaching via video conference is easy and effective.
