Career coaches are more valuable than more people realize. Most people think that getting ahead at work depends on the degree that you hold or your past achievements and although this is partially true, there are other factors that are more powerful that will determine whether you get the position you truly desire or not. Most people settle for the position that they got mostly because they were at the right place at the right time. However it is the people who learn some insider tricks that achieve any position they desire and most importantly within the time frame that they desire.

So how do career coaches fit into all of this? If you are lucky enough to find a good one, they will have the expertise and knowledge that will help to propel you to the stratosphere of your place of employment. No matter whether you work at a fast food restaurant or a fortune 500 company, the same principles apply. You'd be surprised to learn that most of the techniques and strategies and systems that help you advance quickly in your career path are counter-intuitive. Most people think that there is one trick or strategy that will make them successful. This is not true. The most successful people have an actual plan written out and mapped out, do you?

The best career coaches will help you see the things that are right under your nose but because you are so involved in your own situation, they are easy to miss. That is ok, this is not your fault! You've been trained from a very young age that if you get a good degree and a good job that everything will work out, however most college students don't even fall into a job that they majored for and if they do find that it was not as fulfilling as they thought it would be. Once they switch to something else, they don't have a degree to help them move ahead and they end up having to start from the bottom like everyone else. This is where a coach that has experience and knowledge is invaluable as this will be the only competitive edge you have against your very competitive co-workers.

Here are some of the "unfair advantages" that career coaches can give you: They can listen to your situation and help you come up with a system that you can write down that will map out exactly how you are going to get the position that you want. Most people hope that they get to where they want to get but most have no clue how they are going to get there. Some people try to map it out, but without any guidance, it's like the blind leading the blind. If you want to start your own software company, would you do better trying to figure it out yourself or would you do better by being coached by Bill Gates? So we obviously see that smart people put their ego aside and realize that they don't know everything and they "cheat" by borrowing the knowledge from people who know what they don't. I've prepared some powerful information to help you get ahead in your career below, enjoy!
