Stephen Rothberg of CollegeRecruiter.com wrote “Highly respected business business owners agree that career coaching is a wise investment. Scott Testa, CEO of software company Mindbridge, is a fan. Scott says, ‘I think if a candidate believes a job here is important enough that they want to be coached to handle the interview process, they probably take other aspects of their life and career seriously too.’”

Stephen writes that a number of recent graduates and college seniors are turning to Career Coaches. While some argue that these services are unnecessary because they’re typically offered by the student career service offices for free, others share different views. Stephen agrees and so do I that there are student career student offices that give exceptional value while most career service offices are so woefully understaffed that they simply do not have the time to offer services to students who want more than a cursory discussion about their future.

A person typically spends more time involved in their career than in their home life. So, why not invest in a career coach that will help a student find a career and company culture that aligns with strengths, interests, core values, life purpose, identity and personality traits!
