I no longer found satisfaction in my job and was looking for a new challenge after working for 36 years in the same family business (a supermarket). I was eager to learn new things and wanted to make a career change, but I didn’t know exactly in which direction or how to start. Through career coaching, I hoped to gain a clearer view of my talents and discover which path would truly suit me (a search for my interests).
During my sessions with my career coach, I discovered the direction I really wanted to take — a job where I could help people. My applications were positively received by all the companies where I applied, and within a few months, I had signed a contract as a residential counselor in the social profit sector. The whole process went much smoother than I had expected.
I would definitely recommend this program to anyone who no longer feels fulfilled in their job, but especially to people over 50. I thought my age would be a major obstacle to making a career switch, but thanks to the career coaching, I got to know myself better and was able to confidently search for — and find — a new job in a completely different sector that truly speaks to my heart.
