Hello alant-ga,
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and I?m very familiar with the
career counseling resources available here. There used to be two
wonderful career centers (Career Action Center and Alumnae Resources)
that served the community for over 25 years that unfortunately closed
their doors a couple of years ago. The career counselors who were
associated with these organizations are still in business. I?m also
including some links to help you find local career centers that are
open to the public and offer local resources.
I know many of the career people listed in these resources and I?m
convinced that you will be able to find someone who will be able to
help you sort out your career goals and options. I suggest that you
review each of the local resources I?ve included and explore the list
of counselors to find someone who looks interesting. I heartily
endorse your intent to interview several to find someone whose skills
and style best fit your needs. Please ask for clarification if you
need additional help.
Best wishes for your career change.

Career Action Center
Career Counseling, Coaching, and Training
Although the Career Action Center has closed, career services are
still available from many independent career counselors and coaches.
The following people and organizations offer a wide range of services
for individuals and groups. The Career Action Center does not endorse
or take responsibility for any of the services offered. Please contact
them directly for current, detailed information, including pricing.
***** The Career Action Center served the South Bay for over 25 years
and was a world-renowned leader in providing community career
services. They had special expertise in serving people in high tech.
I?m personally acquainted with many of the career counselors listed
here and I?m sure several of them will be excellent for you. Be sure
to follow the links to the websites for many of the counselors listed
or simply call them to conduct a preliminary interview to see how they
respond to your needs.
