Identifying your next move
We will help you clarify what you need from your career and what you have to offer a potential employer, in short, what makes you marketable.
You will complete a series of written exercises designed to draw out what is important to you as an individual and highlight specifically what you have to offer a potential employer. Your consultant will review your responses and discuss them with you.
You will develop a long list of options where the criterion is purely “appeal”. Your consultant will provide you with details of tools to help you build your long list. Together with your consultant you will review your long list.
Your consultant will provide you with challenging feedback and input so that you are able to confidently reduce the list to a short list of options that are both “appealing” and “viable”. Your consultant will then help you to evaluate your short list so you can identify the career option that best meets your needs and aspirations and which you believe is achievable.
The option you select will become your career search objective. In short, you will have determined where you want to take your career and why you want to go there with greater confidence and certainty.
