When Do You Need Career Consulting?

Most often, a career consultant is used in a job search. Consulting is also in place when you feel unhappy and poorly motivated at your current position or do not see possibilities to move on in the organization. Three clear signs you need a career consulting:

Poor Motivation

You do not feel appreciated enough at your job – you think you are not paid enough.
You do not align with the corporate vision, values, ethics, or culture.
You disagree with the management on corporate strategy or your KPIs.
The working atmosphere is bad- you have problems with your boss, colleagues, or subordinates.
There is too much stress at work – too much travelling – you are not allowed to work remotely.

Lack of Development

You may not have gotten the promotion you were expecting.
You feel like you are not developing and you do not see possibilities to move on in the organization.
In a job search, you are not invited to interviews – you do not get to the second round of interviews or are always the first runner-up.
The changes in your organization will require personal development.

Life Change

You prefer more remote work. You may have moved to the countryside, even another country, or overseas and feel you don't want to return to a brick-and-mortar office.
You consider a significant life change like a career change, moving to another country or becoming an entrepreneur.
You get fired. This is a sensitive and emotional situation where things may go worse or better depending on what you do.
