Why you may need a career coach - when it’s the wrong job

What do you do when you like your company but it’s not the right job for you?

The reason why it isn’t the right job for you could be many – you may have always been a round peg in a square hole, but you were perhaps temping in finance and got offered a full time job there.

Perhaps you are ready for promotion but you are not being given a chance at an opportunity?

The obvious answer is to look to see what jobs are advertised internally, but that’s not the only way to get a new job or promotion.  You can be a bit more proactive - walk about, talk to people find out what else is being done and try to get some time spent shadowing or at least talking to people, that way you can understand more and identify where you could fit?

In the short term you could volunteer to take on special projects, tasks for your boss or other people thus demonstrating your drive and commitment.

It worked for me, so if you want to talk about how I may be able to help you get in touch.
