How to Write Worksheets Related to Career & Life Skills

by Andrea Della Monica, eHow Contributor

Pointed questions steer career and life discussions, helping people make better decisions about their options. Not long ago, life coaches and personal mentors were used only by celebrities or others with substantial personal wealth and time to spare. More recently, the notion of seeking advice about your career path, relationships, and life decisions is gaining more widespread support. You can write worksheets to give guidance to individuals whether you work in the field of social services or employment recruitment. The worksheets can help educate people about their options and provide a vital service for people seeking advice and insight for the next steps in their work and personal lives.

Instructions

1. Identify your client's skills and weaknesses and get an overview of their circumstances by asking pointed questions on the worksheets. These questions should not be abusive or too deeply personal, and they should not trivialize the decisions your clients are facing. For example, if someone is thinking of quitting their job and taking up a new career, one of the worksheet questions could ask, "What do you stand to gain by quitting your current job and what could you possibly lose?" The responses should provide valuable insights into their situation and abilities. Ideally, you want to prompt self-reflection.

2. Help your client set up an action plan to achieve a goal or goals by giving them specific steps to take and a reasonable timeline to follow, with success measured in increments. If, for example, they are seeking a promotion at work, the worksheets could prompt them to assess their skills and start working on gaining new ones while honing the skills they have. The worksheet should help your clients gauge their progress over the course of several weeks.

3. Hold the client accountable to themselves by ensuring they make dated entries on their worksheets and perform the necessary follow-up work. If they are apartment hunting, they should note when they last spoke to the real-estate agent and where the next open residence is in their neighbourhood.

4. Provide links to resources that can help clients gain more information or training through blogs, public forums, websites, or workshops to further them on their path.

5. Be a positive sounding board to your clients. The worksheets are a means to an end, but the personal relationships you form are invaluable especially when there are frustrations along the way. Mastering life skills does not come without roadblocks, but an understanding and compassionate mentor can help ease the stress of life transitions.
