My first exposure to career advisors was eons ago when I first left teaching. I was so dissatisfied with their lack of help that I complained loudly to their funder, which resulted in one staff member being fired. (In my opinion they even managed to fire the wrong guy.) I would never have worked in the career counselling field until I landed in the Comox Valley and read a job description that caught my attention and the rest is history. 15 years later I am still loving my work as a career counsellor. I am glad that I didn't assume all career counselling places were unprofessional.
The cartoon is also a great way to think about transferable skills.
Does anyone know someone who almost missed out on their best job?
