The case for the client:

The Job Search journey for someone who is retrenched or seeking new path can be a tough one. As people explained online, it's like falling into an abyss or a void. People head in multiple directions, trying to find one that work. But the haphazard search depletes one of his vital energies. The focus becomes very scattered, and growth is impeded.

Talking Therapy:

1) Topic include: (a) Health & Wellness, (b) Career Direction.​

3) Sharing about "modalities" - models etc that help with finding career direction, such as new age Feng Shui (mindset toolkit + meditation ), Ikigai concepts (adapted )​, Questions to ask ourselves, True Colors profiling (motivation based ).

Hi Everyone,

My name is Yicai, I've been a home tutor for 10 years. My background is in Electrical Engineering, in particular semiconductor device physics. I did some Research work at NUS when I just graduated.

In that 10 years, I did a bit of part-time jobs, and at the later part of the ten years I would keep a look out for possible career switch from time to time. I dabble with many career direction tools in the process, and can better empathise with fellow job seekers.

In that 10 years, I also spent some time exploring different religions, such as joining different church worship and fellowship, or attending courses in Buddhism. I also took some workshop in the training institute for local grassroots.

I learnt many many personality type models, over the years. Such as Satirs counselling model, MBTI, DISC, Hermann Brain Dominance model, "surrounded by idiots", "move to greatness", (keirsey temperament model), "16 personality types, website", OCEAN big 5, and some others.

​After tuition, COVID hit, and I was on a hiatus for about 3 years. I explored a number of jobs during that period of time. And gained some experience and insights in the job search process, and the nature of some of the jobs.

An alternative date, maybe suggested.

We are sort of in the beta-testing phase, and would like to seek more people to try out/ test out the system. I'm learning new things as I encounter new clients, and still trying to put the system together.

In a way, we may not be able to provide all solutions, but help suggesting and tracking, process and approaches that might help lead to a solution.

To facilitate ease of access, we opened up conference calls, to make for more convenient career consultation.
