If you answered YES to any of these questions, you can benefit from working with Andy Wainer and Career-Power. Various recent studies and surveys indicate that between 35% and 60% of workers are DISSATISFIED with their current jobs or careers; about 45% of workers would change careers if they could. This includes people who may like their work but are unhappy with their work-life balance, in other words, how their job/career is impacting their non-work life. Even a greater percentage, up to 80%, state that they DO NOT feel passionate about their jobs or careers. * Please read the article by Career Specialist and Author Mitch Lowrie * Research now strongly demonstrates a clear and strong relationship between job satisfaction, and both mental and physical health and well-being. Additionally, people who enjoy their work are more successful, plain and simple.

Poor job satisfaction, perhaps even not feeling passionate about your work, can and often does lead to mental health problems, such as burnout, lowered self-esteem, anxiety, and even depression. Your personal relationships and family life may suffer. The benefits of career wellness, which can be gained by working with a career counselor, are many. (See section on Career Counseling and Q & A).

Additionally, it is estimated that American workers are likely to change jobs an average of 12 times, and even change careers 4 or 5 times, during their working lives. What this means is that you need an effective career PLAN – and this is a major part of what you can gain from the career counseling process.
