Career Coaching and Career Counselling for Experienced Professionals

Career coaching for experienced professionals in Perth navigating job search, career progression and career change.

Finding the Right Way Forward Starts With Understanding the Problem

Career coaching can help when you know something in your working life needs to change, whether you’re struggling with your job search, looking to progress your career, or considering a different direction.

Before recommending what needs to change, I first work with you to understand what is actually going on. When you’re assessing your own career, it can be difficult to see the situation objectively. Sometimes the problem you think you have isn’t the problem that is actually holding you back.

An experienced outside perspective can help separate the symptoms from the underlying issue, giving you greater clarity about what needs attention and what doesn’t.

My work generally falls into three areas: Job Search Strategy, Career Progression and Career Direction.

What Do You Need Help With?

Career coaching can mean very different things depending on what is getting in the way. My work focuses on three areas, each addressing a different career problem.

Career Direction

You know something needs to change, but you’re not sure what the right next move is. This is about working out where your experience could take you, what would suit you, and making a considered decision about what comes next.

Career Progression

You want to move forward in your career, but something is preventing you from making the next step. This is about identifying what’s holding you back and positioning yourself for greater responsibility, scope or seniority.

Job Search Strategy

You know the type of role you want, but your job search isn’t producing the response it should. This is about identifying where the process is breaking down and developing a more effective strategy for generating interviews and converting opportunities.

What to Expect From Career Coaching

Career coaching works best when you’re prepared to be actively involved in the process.
I won’t simply tell you what to do. My role is to bring an experienced outside perspective, help you understand what is really going on, challenge assumptions where necessary, and work with you to determine the right way forward.
You’ll need to do some thinking and take action between sessions. I’ll provide the structure, expertise and support to help you make better decisions and follow them through.
And because coaching is personal, I want you to feel comfortable about starting. My coaching programs come with a satisfaction guarantee, which I’ll explain before you make any commitment.

“I was forced to accept a job outside of my chosen profession. For 5 years I’d been trying to find work in my desired profession without success—then I discovered Peter at Pillentum. Not long after I’d completed his career coaching program, I was hired for a role that paid me 3 times more than my previous job, doing the work I yearned to do. I’m so much happier with my work and finally feel I’m being paid what I’m worth.”

~ ABBAS | SENIOR MINING ENGINEER

How Career Coaching Works

“After many years in a successful role I began to tire of the commoditisation of the workforce—suddenly I was having to deal with six people just to do one small job. Additionally I was experiencing covert age discrimination, so I came to Peter for coaching.

I never knew I’d be starting my own business but here I am today doing exactly what I want to be doing. Peter helped me to rephrase my thinking and I learned how to identify the right leads toward what I wanted to achieve. Peter got me back on track with life. If you need that kind of push, Peter is the one to do it.”

~ DANIEL LUDER | FOUNDER, INDUSTRIAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Why Work With Peter?

I’m Peter Mazzucato, founder of Pillentum. I’ve spent 26 years across recruitment and career coaching, including 20 years in recruitment.

That experience has given me a view of careers from both sides. I understand how employers and recruiters assess experience, capability and potential, but I also understand how difficult it can be to assess your own career objectively when you’re in the middle of it.

That combination of recruitment experience and career coaching means I can help you understand both your own situation and how the market is likely to see you.

Still unsure which type of career coaching is right for you?

Book a 15-minute call and we’ll work out which of the three pathways best fits your situation.
