How do I find a good career coach?
I have a CFA charter and a CPA license. I feel like I’m stagnating at my current job. I don’t know exactly what kind of job I want to move to. I’m open to pretty much anything within finance or accounting.
How do I find someone who can help me polish my resume, practice interviewing, and decide which field is right for me?
I’m located in Massachusetts.
