If a person finds him- or herself floundering and unable to figure out their next career move, a career coach could help. Career coaches offer a safe space for the coachee to practice newly-acquired soft skills.

In fact, career coaches often use similar tools as career counselors. They might ask a coachee to take formal assessments like O*Net, DISC, or StrengthsFinder.

• identifying strengths,
• defining short and long-term goals,
• resume development, and
• assessing job readiness
