  • What am I qualified to do? Am I over or under qualified for jobs in my field?
  • Is it time to make a career change?
  • Is relocating an option for me?
  • Do I have the necessary skills and experience for my target job?
  • How long do I have to find my next opportunity?
  • Is my financial situation a key concern just now? How do I keep myself afloat, financially?
  • How do I market myself to employers?
  • How do I get my resume up-to-date?
  • How important is LinkedIn ? Should I be using this and other social networks?
  • Where do I start?
Add your own questions to this list and let your Career Coach partner with you to find the answers.
