Career Coaching For Your Quarterlife Crisis
Are you unsure about your next steps in your career? Are you struggling in your job search? Do you feel stuck in a job you don’t like? Are you trying to decide if you need additional training?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you may find it helpful to meet with a career coach, who can work with you to resolve these questions.
This post provides an overview of career coaching.
It is important to resolve career-related stressors sooner rather than later.
Much of our time is spent at work, and if you’re unhappy at work, life can feel very grueling. You may find that your unhappiness at work bleeds into life outside of work, affecting your sense of self, relationships, and social life.
Quarterlifers, in particular, report that they spend a lot of time and energy worrying about their career. Part of what makes career choices stressful for quarterlifers is that, compared to their parents’ generation, they have many more career options to choose from, including non-traditional jobs, non-linear career paths, and entrepreneurial endeavors. The differences between the two generations can make it difficult for quarterlifers to find older role models to help them navigate all of these options. This also makes it harder for parents of quarterlifers to understand the career angst of their adult children.
