Some clients have used our services to help them find and\/or prepare for employment in Canada (i.e., as part of their immigration process). In addition, others have used our services to decide whether or not self-employment may be appropriate for them and then to take the steps required to <b>get their business started<\/b> (e.g., basic, &#8220;start-up&#8221; business coaching). Some general guidance on many of these topics is also provided in my book, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/theresilientcareer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to Be Resilient in Your Career: Facing up to Barriers at Work<\/a><\/em>, published by Routledge in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>If you are considering\u00a0<b>applying to graduate school, a professional program<\/b> like medicine, law, or dentistry, or an MBA program, then we can definitely help with applications, including writing compelling &#8220;letters or statements of intent&#8221; (see this <a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/qa-ethical-ways-college-prep-canada\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">blog article<\/a> for a concrete example).<\/p>\n<p>Students who are planning to apply for admission to a graduate or professional program are strongly encouraged to contact us before their final year of an undergraduate program. Ideally, these students should contact us while they are in their first or second year at college\/university so that they can maximize their resume-building time before the application deadlines.<\/p>\n<p>This option is designed to offer maximum flexibility to clients.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/contact-dr-helen-ofosu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Contact me<\/a> today to discuss 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 calendar<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>These services are offered by video (e.g., Zoom, Google Meet) or phone.<\/p>\n<p>Email transfers, credit cards, and Apple Pay are accepted.<\/p>\n<p>Please note that if you do not show up for your scheduled counselling or coaching appointment, and you have not notified me at least 48 hours in advance, you will be required to pay the full cost of the session as booked.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One counselling session, or advice-by-the-minute, is perfect for people who would like to address one specific concern such as solving a work-related problem or preparing for an interview.
