Career Coaching
I have noticed a few recruitment agencies advertising Career Coaching services online. Unlike previous years these now seems to be a formal service offerings and not just lip service to attract job hunters. For many jobseekers it may seem quite normal for a recruitment agency to offer career coaching BUT beware.
There may be genuine intent from these recruitment companies but the nature of their core business and revenue could impact any career advice. Recruitment Agencies are all about putting bums on seats. A colleague once described agencies as “glorified dating agencies”. I worked in recruitment and I believe recruitment agencies have a key role to play in the job market placing jobseekers in jobs. There could be a conflict of interest though when offering career coaching services. Ask yourself if the career coaching service is leading you down a path prompted by potential placement revenue.
If you are a jobseeker seeking career advice thread carefully. You could get an excellent career coaching service from a recruitment agency but remember there is the risk of conflict of interest.
Support through Career Coaching and a Career Coach
I just posted about a new site careersportal which offers career support for second and third level students. It is designed to help them find the right career path. So what about those of us who didn’t have good career advice and fell into the wrong careers? There is help there for you too. I will outline where you can get career support in Ireland.
Career Coaching – How can it benefit?
Career Coaching has many benefits for job-seekers. Here is a list of some of the benefits you can get from a career coach:
• Clarification of your current job/career situation
• Identify your needs
• Self discovery
• Development of new perspectives
• Conquer job uncertainty and fears
• Identify career passion
• Identify strengths
• Improve decision-making
• Hemp avoid similar mistakes
• Overcome career hurdles
• Initiate momentum and maintain focus
• Clarify direction and solutions
• Increase positive thinking
• Improve performance and results
• And of course – RESULTS!!
Career Coach – A definition
A career coach is a professional who provides jobseekers with expert career advice, career guidance, and career support. A career coach takes the role of observer and listener. A career coach looks at the now and supports goal development, plans, and action. A career coach is dedicated to providing the tools for career success.

There are many ways to find a new job. Unfortunately most jobseekers are lazy when job hunting. They often say they are looking for a new position but when I investigate they have not been doing very much. Below are 5 key strategies to help you find and Irish job.
Recruitment Agencies to find Irish Jobs
I guess there are 400 – 500 agencies in Ireland to help you with your search. I would use a targeted approach to identify the suitable agencies for your needs. Agencies in Ireland fall into 2 categories generalist and specialist. I am often asked “how many agencies should you register with?” There is no right or wrong answer. It is more important to register with relevant agencies and then manage your relationship. These posts may help – managing recruitment agencies and a list of agencies in Ireland.
Job Boards to find Irish Jobs
Job Boards are a great resource. I think is accepted that online is the way forward for job advertising globally moving away from traditional printed media. I guess that is why most media own these job boards. One such site is EmployIreland but there are others.
Networking to find Irish Jobs
Jobseekers do not network enough in Ireland to help progress their career or find Irish Jobs. When you consider that over 50% of jobs are never advertised it makes it essential to use this strategy to access the hidden jobs pool. If you don’t like formal occasions why not start with your own immediate network of friends, family and work colleagues past and present.
Speculate your way to finding Irish Jobs.
This approach is all about getting your hands dirty and sending CV’s off on spec. Jobseekers do not like it because it is inevitable that you will get a lot more dead-ends and rejections. And lets face it we do not like rejection. The secret to speculative applications is to start off quite specific like a target defined location or industry. This post will help you with speculative CV’s.
“Is Career Coaching or Interview Coaching worth the money?”
Many jobseekers ask this question when they set out on their job hunting journey. It is the million dollar question and this question can be asked about any service though.
Is a mechanic worth the money?
Is a barber worth the money?
Services are worth the money when you get a good service for the money paid. Career Coaching and Interview Coaching is no different.
A good coach can help you achieve your career goal. You have to ask yourself if this is worth paying for. If you do the research and choose a coach as you would any other service. Need a coach in the Dublin, Meath, Louth, Kildare or North Wicklow?
