Dear Isodifj,

Before I had my son, I was never aware of back to school time, spring break, or the school calendar at all. Co-workers would talk about it and I was always in the dark. Now, my life is driven by it! Whether you have kids back to school, nieces or nephews or otherwise, we hope it’s going well for you. To celebrate the opportunity to take a fresh look at your career path before the holidays, we are having a Back to School SALE on our most popular product, our Identify Your Ideal Career Workbook.

This month’s newsletter is focused on deciding on your ideal career, considering grad school, and gaining experience while you’re in school.

Join us on September 26 to learn how to conduct effective informational interviews in our complimentary monthly webinar “5 Ways to Conduct Successful Informational Interviews.”

It pays to help a friend!

Career Coach Tip of the Month

"When I work with clients, one thing I encourage them to think about is not only what they want out of coaching, but what steps they can take to get there. It's not enough to just say, "I want a new job." To truly reach your goals, you have to understand what it will take, such as needing an updated resume or help with tough interview questions. Then, breaking them down into actionable steps is the best way to reach them. By having a clear cut idea of what you want and working with a coach to get there, you're setting yourself up for a smoother transition overall."
