Security officers at England's Manchester airport discovered a number of packages last Christmas that appeared to contain Semtex, a dangerous explosive. Sounds like your last career counselor was pretty dense, too, and this might have set off alarms in your head. But don't despair. While your counselor was a bomb, there are others who are dynamite. The questions below will help you find a counselor who can give the kind of help you want.
Some people use counselors to locate their next job.
Others want a plan that looks two or three jobs down the road. Some people need the whole package, while others want help only in specific areas. We're talking career counselors here, not magicians, and jobs don't always appear immediately. There's no better way to pre-qualify a counselor than to get references from former clients. Ask for 10 names, then call the bottom four on the list.
