Hello, my name is Robert Farrell and my goal is to help you find work and work that you love. I also want you to find it more quickly. I have been teaching people how to get jobs for ten years and I love what I do. I want to share my passion with you.

My start in Career Coaching was almost accidental. I began working with adults at Kelsey-Jenney Business College in San Diego, California, where I have lived most of my life. Teaching almost the entire General Education catalog, I was asked to teach a class called Job Search Skills. I taught the basics of resumes and interviewing skills, but I also realized that I was teaching from my own experiences. In my own life, it has never taken me more than three weeks to find a job, when I have used the principles I teach. In fact, the only reason it took me three weeks was because I was 17 and no one would hire me until I was 18. I got a job the day after my 18th birthday.

I have had a variety of jobs all with varying degrees of satisfaction and success. During my time at Kelsey-Jenney I also went into elementary education. This choice caused many problems in my life because it was the wrong choice for me. It did, however, help me cement my beliefs and philosophy about career choice.

A popular book in the 1990s was entitled “Do What You Love and the Money Will Follow.” That’s a great way of thinking about it, but I want to take it further. Since I have been doing what I love here is what has followed for me: Money, Benefits, Professional respect, New opportunities for personal and professional growth, Friendships, Purpose, The feeling of making a difference, and Happiness.

Being in the right profession hasn’t solved all of my problems, but it has provided income for necessities and some pleasures, and enriched my life by giving me deep sense of satisfaction and purpose.

Unless we are born to wealth and privilege, people everywhere, from Nepal to New York City, trade their time and talents for necessities. The more fortunate among us also trade time and talents for some non-necessities and pleasures. The more important question then, rather than, “How much can I make?” is “ What are my talents?” Concerns about money and the current job market can stand in the way of an honest answer. Yet, if you were given a million dollars, tax-free, and the only condition attached to the money was that you had to spend your time in some kind of meaningful way, what would you choose to do?

I could have stayed in elementary education until retirement, if money, job security and good benefits were my only goals. My answer to the question above prodded me in a new direction. Therefore I have two goals as a career coach.
1. I want to help as many people as possible find work quickly.
2. I want to help them discover and pursue work they love.

To meet your goals I am available for one-on-one coaching sessions or group seminars.
