Services
Throughout life individuals make countless decisions and experience any number of transitions. We have developed the DREAM career model to support you in every step of a career transition depending on your individual needs. Our system is adaptable to your unique situation. Depending on your needs we can use 1, 2 or all 3 of these steps. You can move directly to resume, interview and job search help or we can focus on Clarification & Exploration only.
Step 1&2 Discover & Research and Decide
Career Coaching for ages 16+
What career path should I take? What should I do next? Should I pursue post graduate studies? And if yes in what field? What possibilities are a better? How do I transition my past experiences into new opportunities?
We all have been questions we face. MKCAREERCHOICES guides you in making well informed and inspired choices that help you move forward and achieve your goals.
1. Discover Yourself
Our work together is all about you and your stories! Reflect on your past experiences, gain clarity and generate promising possibilities that match your strengths & desires. This step is essential to ensure that you make the right decision based on your skills, experience, values, and the things which are most important to you in a job/career. It enables you to address the questions of “Who am I?” and “What do I want?” It may include the use of psychometric tests and self-appraisal exercises to help clarify your transferable skills, interests, values, key achievements, personality, and what motivates you.
2. Research & Decide
Research
This step will allow you to explore ideas and opportunities for your future. Now that you know yourself, your skills, interests, and values, the next step is to work with your career coach and generate ideas on what to do next. Now that you know what you want from your next job, you need to start exploring different opportunities. We will create a specific exploration plan with you so you know exactly what you need to do to explore possibilities before focusing on one and actively pursuing it.
Decide
In this step you need to evaluate the ideas generated in step 2 and decide on the best option for you. We will help you using a number of resources to identify the right career move/next role, set clear goals, and develop an Individual Development Plan on how to get there.
These first two steps form our Career Coaching programme and it is up to you whether you want to continue with one or more of the subsequent steps of the process.

Where can I up my strength use? How can I use my strengths to deal with specific issues at work or factors that hinders my performance?
