ARE YOU FEELING STUCK IN YOUR TRANSITION FROM A MILITARY TO A CIVILIAN CAREER? DO YOU NOW NEED TO MAKE A CRITICAL DECISION TO RESOLVE IT?

  • Which job offer should I take?
  • My job search isn’t working what should I be doing differently?
  • Which career-building assignments should I be pursing to fast-track my career?
  • When should I take a career break – or start my own business?

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. A coach will work with you to see what concrete steps can be taken to achieve your career objectives. ‘Mentoring’ is, however, a more process-driven approach. A mentor from the charity will work with you to help you with your transition, beyond employment – housing, welfare etc.

The core virtue of career coaching is to help you assess your professional situations with a degree of individualised support not afforded elsewhere.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT TO GET FROM WORKING WITH A HIRE A HERO CAREER COACH?

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.
