Career Coach: Getting outside help to propel your career forward can be worthwhile. A good starting point to finding the right coach involves asking yourself a couple of important questions: "Why am I hiring a coach?" and "Do I want someone who can help me with a career change or help me move up in my current field?" Or, do you have something else in mind? You'll find that hiring a career coach is very different than hiring most other professionals. There is no official licensing agency for career coaches, and thus you'll find a wide range of quality among the many people claiming to be career experts. Coaches can receive certification through the International Coaches Federation (ICF), and some 3,900 have done that. Another option is finding a coach through the Professional Association of Resume Writers and Career Coaches (PARCC), which also offers certification. Both organizations offer free coach searches on their Web sites.
Health Insurance During Transition Periods
Prescriptions and Equipment. Shop around. Just because one store sells the drugs you need for one price doesn't mean that every store will. Take the time to comparison shop on the Web before you ever head out to your local pharmacy. You can find help in locating the lowest prices with Consumer Reports, the AARP or the Medicare Rights Center.
