Part of what makes these services powerful and unique is that they&#8217;re all grounded in my education and 20+ years of experience in Industrial \/ Organizational (I\/O) psychology. Some of this expertise is summarized in my book <a href=\"https:\/\/theresilientcareer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>How to Be Resilient in Your Career: Facing up to Barriers at Work<\/em><\/a>, published by Routledge in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, these counselling services are provided via Phone and video (e.g., Zoom, Google Meet, or sometimes FaceTime). They are one-on-one, customizable, and linked directly to your needs and priorities. Clients are <em>not<\/em> expected to rely\u00a0on self-serve online materials.<\/p>\n<p><b>The Basic Counselling \/ Coaching Package Includes Four Hours\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The four hours can be used to provide the services that are most relevant and important (e.g., support geared directly toward applying for and interviewing for a specific position), but a common sequencing of services includes:<\/p>\n<p><b>Part 1:<\/b> An initial assessment using an interview to understand you, your educational and work history, interests, any unique challenges you may be dealing with, etc.<a class=\"popmake-video2\" href=\"#\"><br \/><\/a><br \/><b>Part 2:<\/b> The information collected during the assessment is analyzed, and some research is done to offer concrete, action-oriented feedback. Typically, this includes presenting potentially viable career options that match your &#8216;profile.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><b>Part 3:<\/b> I will offer you specific feedback based on the assessment, this could include ideas you can incorporate into your resume and LinkedIn profile. I will share career-related ideas and, when possible, leads.<\/p>\n<p><b>Part 4:<\/b>\u00a0Follow-up session to help create a strategic plan including some clear guidance to help you get your career back on track.<\/p>\n<p>All four sessions are recommended, but they can be spread out over time.<\/p>\n<p>Additional support is available to help clients apply for a specific job opportunity or to prepare for an interview. <a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/contact-dr-helen-ofosu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Contact me<\/a> to discuss this further or book a free, confidential 15-minute initial phone consultation through this <a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/appointments-career-coaching-counselling-dr-helen-ofosu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">online scheduler<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For some clients, fees may be tax-deductible.
