Viso Dreams - Frequently Asked Questions

VD encourages you to think about the type of help you’re looking for, and then look for our mentors. Our Mentors will help you with training and guided approach that match your needs and expectation For example, if you want direct, practical advice on goal setting as you may be clear about your goals but not sure, you might choose Discover I as a topic. If you are looking for interview preparation or a job then you will choose a mentor with expertise in Human Resources or Recruitment by selecting the ‘Finding a job’ module. If, on the other hand, you’re seeking personal support as you work through a challenging situation or transition, you might prefer to work with a mentor who is professionally attached to the particular industry by choosing “Succeeding at work Module”

Sorry our answer is No. Instead, VD helps you to better understand yourself and then make informed decisions, with up-to-date knowledge of different careers and opportunities, and suggested, practical action steps. Career landscape is vast and changing rapidly so you cannot make one career decision in your entire life.VD will let you sit in the driver seat and drive your own choices and development.

We do that by creating a safe, supportive space where you can consider and clarify what’s important to you, explore your options – with our MENTORS throwing in some fresh perspectives and possibly stretching your thinking limits in different dimensions – and then help you to set an action plan,making you think,where you can experiment and take careful steps forwards.
