WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CAREER COACH AND MENTOR?

A Hire a Hero Career Coach will take a solution-oriented approach to your search for employment.

The search for employment in transition can create a fair amount of anxiety, fear and vulnerability, a career coach aims to unwrap these emotions to better understand factors preventing career transition.It is hoped that through work with a career coach from the charity you will gain career confidence, insight, encouragement and inspiration.

The aim of a Hire a Hero career coach is to help you navigate the civilian job market and ultimately secure the desired career in your life outside the armed forces.
