Answer:
Career advocacy is known by a variety of names - mentoring, coaching, or counseling. While the title may vary, the purpose of career advocacy is to assist in the advancement of an individual's career.
A career advocate counsels a less experienced individual so that greater career opportunities are available. An advocate does more than just offer advice or act as a reference. An advocate actively develops an employee's marketability, job competencies, educational advancement, interpersonal skills, and self-knowledge all for the purpose of securing effective job placement.
Finding a career advocate can be challenging as the demands and responsibilities are more than just meeting for lunch or coffee to talk. Professional career advocates are available for a fee, and while a certification isn't necessary, it is available. Career advocates may be individuals who are further advanced in an industry or company. Finding an advocate with expertise in a desired field or influence within an industry is key to an effective advocacy relationship.
