Anyone used a careers advisor/coach as an adult?

Would be interested to know if this could be helpful in assessing career plans/changes? Also for any recommendations.

Thanks for any pointers.

Yes, some years ago, which was fairly useful, in that it confirmed I was quite suited to my field of work. And recently as part of my redundancy package. I'm glad I wasn't paying for that...

Thanks for that EBearhug - I think it could be a worthwhile investment, even if it clarifies that you're in the right field. Would you be happy giving the name of who you used please? Not to worry if not!

I'm afraid I can't remember- it was through my union.

If you are in Scotland, Skills Development Scotland provide free advice and guidance from qualified advisers for all ages.
Disclaimer - I do work for them, but my colleagues are great.

Ebearhug - no worries, and thank you.

weebarra - sadly not! It's almost like a career therapist that's needed!
