Career Councilors or Coaches are the goal. I’ve hit a moment in my 40s and find myself needing to pivot. Any advice on where to look for someone appreciated. I’m coming from the film industry and looking to transition out but feel overwhelmed and in analysis paralisis. If you had someone help you along tell me who!!

Question

Mary · Answer

Take a career aptitude test for a career pivot: When I was in my early/mid 20’s my parents generously paid for me to see a career counselor. I was working as a barista and no doors were opening for me to use my art degree in a career.

I actually found the career aptitude test MUCH MORE helpful than the career counselor I saw. I liked that the test objectively showed me I have talents in engineering and computer science!

This helped me decide to go to grad school and get my Management Information Systems degree. I’ve worked in tech for a few years now and know I’m on the right career path for me!

The aligned ambition studio: An awesome women’s career coaching container that helps women in their 30s and 40s decide whether to stay, pivot or create something new ~ Julia is so easy to relate to and incredibly intelligent, and has designed a program that guides women to their own alignment first. There’s live community coaching, a slack group and then the program modules themselves which have helped me get clarity on designing an aligned life. Highly recommend.
