"Where are you working now?" That question has been asked of me many times and the answer was usually different. Because of downsizing, temporary assignments, the wrong place, wrong time, I’ve learned what works and what doesn’t work. I also learned that I was on my own when searching for
employment.

In 2001, I decided to take a more proactive role in my future. I received my Career Development Facilitator certficate from the Center for Credentialing and Education, Inc. an affiliate of the National Board for Certified Counselors, Inc. In the same year, I made a fourth attempt at my college degree and returned to Baker College. By attending college full-time and working full-time, I completed my Associates degree in Marketing from Baker College in December 2003 and launched CHANGING DIRECTIONS in the same year (February 2003). I also recently attended a three-day Careers Conference at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and obtained invaluable career coaching and private practice information that has enhanced CHANGING DIRECTIONS.

No one should go through employment transition alone like I did, so I made a decision to share what I’ve learned so others can be better equipped when facing similar circumstances.

By offering seminars on resume writing and other topics, career coaching individuals and offering outplacement services to businesses as well as speaking to high school students, and civic groups, people are becoming empowered in their search for enriching work.

CHANGING DIRECTIONS is not a placement service or recruiter. Rather, CHANGING DIRECTIONS helps people who don’t know who to go to for resume help or what to do next in their job search or even a career change.
