Looking to develop my skills in order to get a foot in the door on a new career path but unsure where exactly to proceed, so would appreciate a good counselor suggestions if you've had a positive experience with them. Ideally someone who specializes in the state of things globally, not just in America.

This is a hard ask.. especially since there are so many snake oil folks.

I know it's basic advice but.. It may be worth looking on YouTube for "Life as a X" or some of those "Experiences working as an Y" or "How I would start in Z now" videos. All the Career advisors have migrated into the over sharing economy, which is nice. You can get a feel of the people and advice and then potentially message them for specifics.

Happy Hunting!
