“The purpose of life is to discover your gift. The meaning of life is in giving it away.”

Are you interested in changing careers or finding a better way to balance your current job with your life outside of work? Are you an international spouse who has relocated to the United States and needs help looking for work or a volunteer job? Are you a stay-at-home mom who’s ready to go back to work and not sure if you want to go back to the career you had B.C. (before children) or try something new? Are you a college student or recent college graduate needing career direction and guidance?

If you’re any of these people, then I would love to work with you! I have been a career counselor for over 25 years, and my passion is helping people find work that expresses who they are. I offer a very personal approach, not a package deal. Together, we will explore and talk about the issues related to making good career choices.

• Exploration of your interests and personality type
• Clarification of your work and life values

When you’re ready to go out and begin your job search, I can help you:

• Prepare and practice for your interview
• Coach you on salary negotiation [/one-half][one-half last][quote]I wanted to let you know how great it has been working with you through both sessions of Crayons to Careers and  in our private session.  I really feel well-equipped now to approach the job market again after taking several years ‘off’ being a full-time mom.  Thanks again, and you’ll be one of the first people I contact when I find my new job. — C.K., Moraga, CA[/quote]
