Career coaching: professional guidance for your career
What is career coaching?
You see the same coach a number of times, with several weeks of room in between. You use that interval to examine what was on the table: speak to someone, try something out, go and look. The layout is at the career programme.
People working outside their own municipality often compare roles that look alike on paper. Setting your own criteria first makes that comparison considerably easier.
Career coaching in Landsmeer
Career coaching in Landsmeer and nearby
Our Landsmeer location stands on Dorpsstraat, just above Amsterdam-Noord. Office work, care and trade fill most of the jobs here, and Amsterdam is literally round the corner. After a forced departure people usually describe themselves in job titles, while their colleagues would name something entirely different if you asked them.
People living in Landsmeer usually work elsewhere: in Amsterdam, Purmerend or Zaandam, in office work, healthcare or trade. A career question here is therefore as often about how work lands in your week as about what you actually do. In the conversations we set those two side by side. Both weigh equally in the choice you end up making.
About Landsmeer
Good to know about Landsmeer
Amsterdam a quarter of an hour away
On the other side of the IJ lies one of the largest labour markets in Europe, a quarter of an hour away. For office roles and healthcare that is your working area in practice, even if you go on living in the village; it makes a difference of hundreds of vacancies against Waterland alone.
A village with city jobs
Landsmeer counts under twelve thousand inhabitants, but most people work elsewhere. That means your network often sits outside the municipality rather than inside it.
Healthcare and engineering are structurally short
From Purmerend to Zaandam demand outstrips supply in care, installation and construction. Even without a background in that corner there are ways in through planning and support.
Dorpsstraat, in the centre
Parking is available nearby and the bus to Amsterdam-Noord stops close at hand. Running the whole programme remotely is equally possible.
Your job title tells half the story
What you do daily differs sharply from what your contract says. So we start with your tasks rather than your title, because that is where the usable information sits.
The week counts, not only the job
Travel, working days and the room that remains decide whether work is sustainable. We include that side in the decision rather than trailing it.
Your network is spread out
Working outside the village means colleagues and contacts in different places. That becomes usable once you know who to approach for what.
What does career coaching at Care4Careers look like?
From tasks to direction
What we work out most depends on your question.
We usually run through them in the order below.
Intake meeting
In a first conversation we explore your question and whether coaching answers it. At the Dorpsstraat or by video.
Who am I? Why do I work? What can I do?
We break your work down into tasks and look at which of them come easily, give energy or no longer fit.
What do I want?
You set down which content you are after and which shape your week has to keep. A <a href="/en/kenniscentrum/loopbaanbegeleiding/gratis-loopbaantest">career test</a> helps put things in order.
Drawing up a plan of action
That becomes a plan with the roles that connect, the things you still lack and the order of approach.
Realising the Next Step
You begin, and the coach stays in view until the new situation feels familiar.
What you are working towards
You have chosen a direction that suits the way your week is arranged.
Subjects that recur
Subjects that come up in Landsmeer
These four come by most.
Describing your tasks instead of your job
Two people with the same title often do very different work. We draw what you can genuinely do out of your daily tasks. See the page what sort of work fits you.
Weighing the journey into the city
Working in Amsterdam brings more choice and more travel. Whether that time repays itself depends on what the city gives you, and we set the two side by side.
Developing without moving straight away
Different tasks, a course or clearer arrangements sometimes solve more than a new job. Closer explanation at changing jobs.
Knowing what you have to offer
Doing the same thing for years costs you sight of your own range. More on that at career scan.
When your work stops
With a departure, outplacement is generally the better fit.
Where guidance towards other work is met by your employer, that guidance is called outplacement. Which of the two belongs with you comes up in the first conversation.
With no departure in view, everything starts from the direction you want to choose yourself.
