Before I chose to see a career coach, I felt uncertain about my career direction and I felt like I…read morejust didn't fit in at my workplace. I kept applying to the same types of jobs because I didn't know what else I could do. The coaching I received helped me to figure out the type of work that would really suit me. It made me realize how marketable I really was and that I do have plenty of options (that I didn't know about before). I learnt how to talk to employers about my strengths. Now after the coaching, I really feel really confident in interviews. One thing I did not expect (but looking back, I am very grateful for) was learning some easy and manageable ways to deal with stress when things got rough in my workplace. In fact, it was only when I lowered my own stress about work, that things began to get clearer about my future and what I needed to do to succeed. Looking back, I'm not sure how far I could have gone if I hadn't done it this way. The coaching at Careers by Design was highly effective and I recommend them to anyone struggling with a career problem. I checked out various companies before deciding to try out Careers by Design. I'm so glad that I chose them because they gave me personal attention and really cared about my success. It was one of the best decisions I have made for my career!

He assisted with key words that I should put on applications that could potentially catch employers eye. He gave me interviewing tips (before and after) and way to properly negotiate the highest salary based on my experience and worth. He also provided some options for personal development and improving my overall net worth, while I'm waiting. He referred me to location that could potentially assist in providing that needed development. He has great contacts and I was able to learn a lot from Brian. He is also attentive and listened as well as made himself available when it was best for me. Being laid off from a job at age 55 years old is difficult, because there are not a lot of employers looking to hire someone as old as I am.. however, he made me see that with my age also come more experience and that organization would be lucky to have the experience person. He did a lot for my morale and his presence was greatly appreciated.. I only worked with him for a month but his help and knowledge will remain with me a lifetime, and I am grateful for all he has taught me.

Second Harvest is a fantastic charity that has been helping hungry people in Toronto since 1985…read more Second Harvest picks up surplus fresh food from food donors such as grocery stores, restaurants, caterers, manufacturers, and events and delivers it to social services agencies, such as shelters, food banks, and breakfast programs. Second Harvest depends on volunteers to help with deliveries, sorting food, and running events. If you would like to volunteer, you can sign up on the website: http://www.secondharvest.ca/volunteer/index.php. I volunteered at Second Harvest for the first time this week in both helping with deliveries and sorting food in the warehouse. Working on the truck was great because you can see firsthand the people who are benefiting from the service. It feels good to do something tangible to help people in need. The warehouse is a much more solitary activity, but there is a lot of work to be done to portion donated food, so it was great to lend a hand. The annual Turkey Drive is coming on Dec 6-7 and Dec 13-14, 2008. You can volunteer or help by buying a frozen turkey at participating Loblaws locations where volunteers will collect and deliver them to people in need.
