Linda Artel, MA
NCCC, Nationally Certified Career Counselor

CAREER COUNSELING APPROACH

I partner with you to uncover your career identity--core motivated skills, talents, creativity. Next, we brainstorm work options and job search strategies that allow as much expression of this identity as possible in the real world. I quickly focus on your specific career issues and customize self- assessment and the job search to find solutions that work for you. Listening carefully, I notice and process any self-esteems issues that may be keeping you from taking action to realize your career aspirations.
