I am contacting career counselors for some suggestions or firsthand knowledge. I find myself at a place when I would want some professional direction to guide my career toward one that seems satisfying and in line with my objectives. Though a lot of material is available, I believe a customized approach could be quite helpful.

What was the experience like for somebody who regularly used a career counselor near me? Did they help you find your areas of strength, pinpoint possible career routes, or perhaps even help with things like interview preparation and resume enhancement? Any particular strategies or methods that truly worked for you would be much appreciated.
