Karriering

I'm Petra Szabó, a career counsellor and business coach, and I created my own business by combining these two roles, which I called "Karriering".

My aim is to support anyone who encounters any difficulties in their professional career.

In my counselling sessions, I support my clients in finding and achieving their goals and realising their career plans. And if they face obstacles in their careers, I help them to find solutions and overcome them.

About me

I started my studies with a Bachelor's degree in Communication and Media Studies at Dunaújváros College. Then, I completed a postgraduate course in business coaching at Metropolitan University and finally earned a Master's degree in Human Resource Counseling at the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences.

Although my academic path may seem well-structured, I struggled for a long time to find a clear direction for my future.

At the beginning of my undergraduate studies, I had a specific career in mind, but I had to reconsider my plans after gaining some practical experience. Without a backup plan, I specialized in business communication and eventually entered the job market somewhat uncertainly.

During the early years of my career, I had the opportunity to work in small, medium, and large companies. However, I always felt a lingering sense that I wasn't doing what I truly wanted.

In 2017, a personal event prompted me to take a deeper look at myself and my life. As a result, a few months later, I found myself back in school, studying business coaching with the determination that this would be my future.

I changed jobs and fields, gaining experience mainly in positions related to human resources. I developed a strong interest in the HR field, which led me to complete a Master's degree in Human Resource Counseling at the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences.

Both in my postgraduate business coaching studies and in my Master's in Human Resource Counseling, I explored the topic of career change and the motivations behind it, which also became the focus of my thesis and dissertation.

In addition to my professional development, I also worked extensively on self-awareness. Besides attending numerous professional conferences, I participated in a 150-hour psychodrama group session.

While I spent several years in a multinational environment, I've been working in a small business environment since 2022, where I've also had the opportunity to experience leadership.

I currently work as a freelance consultant, helping my clients and still contributing to the development of processes and people at my former workplace.
