Before I became a psychotherapist, I worked as a recruiter / HR manager here in Austin’s high
tech industry. Working with hiring managers at such Fortune 500 companies as Dell and IBM gives me a unique perspective on
career counseling. I understand what goes on behind the scenes, and I understand what it takes to get a resume noticed by
a recruiter.
Do you
choose this career or did you stumble into it?
Do you want to find work that's meaningful? Do you know what kind of work that is?
Are you
afraid that it's too late to find work that you're passionate about?
If you’re getting nowhere in your job search, perhaps it’s time that you consulted
a career counselor. My 15 years of recruiting experience can give you an edge in today’s competitive job market. I can
give you a detailed critique of your resume. Many times a professional’s insight can be helpful. I’ve spent
years reviewing thousands resumes – I understand what works and what doesn’t work.
Looking For A New Direction?
If you're unhappy in your work, chances are that you might be burned out - or you might not even be in
the right profession. In my experience, people don't always consciously choose their careers. Instead, they luck into
them through happenstance or personal connections.
Do
you love your work, or are you just earning a living?
Do you feel appreciated for your efforts in the workplace?
Are there conflicts on the job that you can't seem to work through?
Do you find yourself coming
home angry and taking out your frustrations on your mate?
Even if you are happy with
your choice of career, you might be stressed because of a continuing conflict with a difficult coworker. Maybe you are having
problems setting boundaries with your boss and work long hours as a result. Maybe you suffer from low self-esteem and you
feel like you are not earning as much as you are worth. Working with a counselor can give you valuable insight into what
you might do to improve your current job situation.
