How to go from a warehouse to an office?
Asked by Stella
My husband was laid off from his job in a warehouse after a long time. Instead of going back to it, he'd like to work in a office environment. His background includes working on cars and stuff like that as well - I'm not sure how to word his resume to get him in the door. I'm not sure either what sort of jobs he should look for. He does have computer skills by the way. Any ideas?

Career planning is a deliberate process of knowing WHO we are so that we can be sure WHERE we want to go or WHAT we want to be at some defined point in the future.
