Changing sectors

The circumstances

Kate was a very successful head of corporate fund-raising for a well-known charity and had introduced several high profile sponsorship schemes valued in excess of £5 million. At the age of 30 she decided she wanted to move into the private sector but found her main difficulty was that all her work experience had been in not-for-profit. Kate decided to engage the services of Appleby Associates and worked with one of our professional career consultants.

The issues

  • She was having no success responding to national press advertisements
  • Recruiters did not seem to be interested
  • She did not really know what she needed to do to change sectors
The outcome

An Appleby Associates career consultant worked with Kate. They started with Kate’s natural abilities as a fundraiser and her work-related aspirations, Kate's career consultant helped her explore different avenues and ideas. As a direct result, she was able to secure a corporate account sales role with a large software company. She is now enjoying being part of an exciting development culture and what’s more her income has doubled.
