I’m 28 and work in workplace health and safety but I’ve totally hit a wall. I feel stuck and honestly have no clue what I want to do next. SO I have been looking at career coaches (Auckland), but they are waaay too expensive from what I’ve found (around $800 a session!!)

if you're facing financial constraints, hold that thought and put career coaches aside. Could you tell us more your main concern? Is it related to your salary/income? Another way around you can think of is speaking personally with your manager/boss. Tell them you look for promotion and willing to take on extra responsibilities. Avoid mentioning salary issues, just say you're looking forward to career progression. Discuss this to see if there's a growth potential there or not

Account Management
This is going to sound dumb but here's my process when I was making a change. I committed to thinking about 1 idea of what I could do every day and writing it down. Consider what you like, what you're good at, opportunities etc. When you hit a good one, you'll know - you won't be able to stop thinking about. Research that! But keep adding to the list. When you've got something you've researched, considered a few other options but still can't stop thinking about it, you're on the right track.

Sometimes you just hit a point where your current role doesn’t light you up anymore. Honestly $800 for a session sounds insane. You might get more clarity just by chatting to people in different roles or trying a few short courses online. Doesn’t have to cost a fortune to figure out your next move.

that does sound really tough, hitting a wall like that can feel overwhelming 😅 how have things been for you since then?

Careers.govt.nz has loads of resources and if you call the free number you get a free consultation and they’ll help with your CV. They did have a CV builder too which was great but I think they took it down yesterday. Used it to make my CV.
