Frequently Asked Questions
Why does finding a Board-Certified Career Professional matter?

With so many self-proclaimed & untrained career “experts” easily found on the internet, seekers need to find competent, trained career practitioners who can support, advise, empathize, and celebrate as people get back to successful work.
-
A credential represents a formal validation of an individual’s qualifications & professional competencies in a specific industry.
-
The value is found in the fact that certification ensures proficiency, provides credibility & transparency, and confirms strengths and expertise as a formal validation of core standards of practice.

How long does this process take?
The time frame can vary and depends on a wide range of factors: your goal(s), your commitment and openness to utilizing new resources, your circumstances, how quickly and thoughtfully homework assignments are completed, and other unique factors.
Some individuals meet for a very brief engagement (i.e. how to prepare for an interview), while others come in focused on multiple goals and/or career assessments.
