Career Success Story #2

This is a story from a former client who came to me for help. He is a smart, capable businessman who just made one mistake. But with a little bit of help, a few career tests and exercises, we got to the bottom of his career purpose and mission. This is a huge step! Knowing the end helps you act in the now. Send me an email if you want this kind of career success and self-knowledge!

“I finally gave in to trying out TheCareerProfiler. I had always thought that career coaching services were “airy fairy” and certainly not for me. In a moment of desperation, though, I had taken a position well below my career potential and previous experiences. Now I needed help to turn around my career in a large Fortune 100 bureaucratic company.

know your purpose and mission

Knowing your career purpose and mission are stepping stones to your success

I completed a series of career tests that pointed out my talents and strengths. Then I began to realize what I was really meant to do. Together, The Careeer Profiler and I developed a resume based on my talents, strengths, and mission. The Career Profiler had a phenomenal way to quickly and accurately determine my career purpose and mission. It only took an exercise and a couple of career coaching sessions to nail these down. Only two months after our first meeting, I became the vice-president of a venture capital company – such a perfect fit for me! I learned this career secret: know your career purpose and mission.” –Bob V.
