Any thoughts?

Thanks

    What do career coaches do exactly? Surely you know yourself better and what you want to do with your life more than a stranger?

    I suppose it all depends on the coach, I booked 4 sessions at a similar fee, and it paid off big time, 21K payrise :D and I am in a role I love and in a sector that is recession proof.

    Don't tell me: you are now a career coach!

    Nice work if you can get it.

    Ha ha, no not a career coach or a consultant, I just needed a fresh perspective and a boost in confidence, and the coach provided that for me. I already knew him which helped.

    Outrageous amount. Have you checked what others are charging. There must be other help you can get locally? :confused: I would be very suspicious of anyone charging that much just for giving advice.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Go and see a careers advisor.
    Take the stamford test on ucas.
    Or think back to when you were a kid, what did you want to be?

    Failing that i can fluff your ego and suggest jobs for the next hour if your willing to pay that much.
