I'm not concerned about job titles, previous experience or education. I start out with a very basic question: "What do you like to do?" Answering this is not as easy as seems. But I find that articulating career preferences is a crucial step in finding work that's financially, intellectually emotionally and satisfying.
I also try to give clients a sense of reality about their target job in order to anticipate any potential obstacles that they must eliminate, avoid and/or overcome to meet their goals.
Lastly, I recommend that clients build a strong network by practicing what I call "altruistic self-interest" - that is, helping others whenever they can. Aside from being the "smart" thing to do, it's also the "right" thing to do. Because when all is said and done, helping others makes working - and everything else we do in life - worth doing.
