Career Counseling and Assessments

 

Expatriation Assessment Certifcate

Each member can complete an Expatriation Assessment that will gather information on the member’s background, interests and goals in working abroad.  Our Expatriation Assessor will compare the individuals information with thousands of  work permit schemes and work abroad programs around the globe.  When the analysis is complete, the individual will be provided an in depth Expatriate Assessment Report listing the countries they are eligible to work in and the programs they are immediately eligible for.  The report will also list additional opportunities available if the individual chooses to meet additional requirements.

The Global Career Center will then issue the individual an Expatriate Certification for any country the individual is interested in working in.  The Expatriate Certificate notifies the potential employers that, based on the individuals responses, they are eligible for specific work permit schemes or programs in that country. 

The Assessment will also provide a recommended work plan and class schedule for the individual to assist them in becoming an expatriate.

Career Counseling/Coaching

A career counseling session can help an individual make decisions and plans related to life/career directions. The strategies and techniques are tailored to the individual’s unique needs and are available to individuals requiring career counseling/coaching if…

q       The individual is thinking about making a career change

q       The individual needs help planning and implementing a job search strategy

q       The individual needs encouragement and support to maintain momentum in a job search

 

Relocation Counseling

Perhaps the most classic of intercultural trainings, our relocation counseling prepares expatriates and their families for the transition to life in a new country. With time devoted specifically to personal adaptation and professional adaptation, our programs will help ensure a successful time abroad for employees and their family.  In addition to outbound preparation, the Global Career Center offers inbound preparation for families who are repatriating to their home country – a transition which is nearly always as difficult – if not more so – than the original move abroad.

 

Occupational Assessment

The Holland Self-Directed Search measures strengths and interests using self-evaluations in Occupational Daydreams, Activities, Competencies, Occupational Preferences, and Ability Self-Ratings. Based on the answers, the Self-Directed Search assigns an occupational code that correlates to different professions.

Other assessment tools such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, Strong Interest Inventory, and Career Decision Maker are also available.

Professional Resume Services

An intensive one-on-one hour-long session providing feedback on the content and format of the resume.  All resume services are provided by a Certified Professional Resume Writer (CPRW).

 

Cover Letters

Our Certified Professional Resume Writer will conduct research on the target company and craft a letter that highlights the individual’s marketable skills. The fee for this service includes a half-hour meeting to discuss the resume and the position.

 

Resume Packages

Our Certified Professional Resume Writer will meet with the individual for an in-depth session to learn more about your skills. An overview of professional skills and accomplishments will be crafted into an aesthetically pleasing document. After the resume is complete, the individual will have the opportunity to discuss the finished product with the writer.

This one hour, one-on-one session is designed to sharpen interviewing skills with a focus on how to answer the most difficult and frequently asked questions. Our Career Counselors will give various guidelines on answering difficult questions and help to tailor answers to a particular situation or work history.
