Career-advice consultation — Career coach
A consultation is useful when you face a specific career decision rather than needing a full programme. Explain the question, relevant experience and options under consideration, and ask whether the meeting includes preparation, a written summary or follow-up resources.
Service scope
A focused discussion of a career question, options or next steps, using the person's background and stated goals. It is narrower than a complete coaching programme and should distinguish informational guidance from assessments or specialist professional-entry advice.
What is normally included
- A defined career question
- Skills and option discussion
- Agreed next-step summary
What is not included
- Guaranteed career suitability
- Employment placement
- Unverified qualification-recognition advice
Typical tasks
- Define the decision
- Review relevant experience
- Identify information gaps
- Discuss options for further investigation
- Summarise agreed next steps
What to include in your brief
- Career question
- Relevant experience summary
- Options considered
- Country or labour market
- Desired consultation output
Choosing the right professional
Look for a provider who explains how they gather information and where their advice is limited. For regulated occupations or cross-border qualifications, specific entry requirements should be checked with the appropriate authority rather than inferred from generic career guidance.
Important considerations
- Incomplete background can distort suggestions
- Qualification recognition may require separate verification
- A brief meeting may be mistaken for a comprehensive plan
