Careers Advice and Guidance
- Which careers will suit you?
- Do you need more challenge?
- Are you facing redundancy or re-structuring?
Career Guidance is for people of all ages and all walks of life who are planning their next career move or looking to change direction. In one or more confidential meetings, we'll discuss your ideas and I'll give you activities to explore your skills and interests. We'll link you to an online careers questionnaire to give you new ideas and information. You'll draw up a realistic career plan that is right for you. We'll make sure it takes account of your income needs and your personal work values.
You will get a report summarising the discussions and setting out your plan of action, together with the information you need to start working towards your new career goal.
Time required: 1 meeting of up to 2 hours
Option of a 2nd short meeting

Career Coaching
- Are you stuck in your career?
- Have you set a goal but not making progress towards it?
- Are work problems or team issues getting on top of you?
Coaching involves regular meetings to keep focused on what you want to achieve. This might be a life or career goal, or about improving interpersonal relationships. I'll suggest activities to help you work out what you want to change, and how to make those changes happen. We'll see if anything is stopping you, and plan how to overcome the obstacles, so you can get where you want to be.
We often use psychometrics (especially Myers Briggs Type Indicator) in the coaching. Learning about your profile helps you understand your strengths and motivations, so you can maximise on these and move forward.
Time required: Initial meeting 1 hour to agree objectives
5 x 1-hour meetings
Follow up phone call(s) or further meetings as required
Cost: £50 per hour

CV and Application Forms

- Is your CV too long or out of date?

Job Interview Coaching
- Do you know what to expect at your job interview?
- Are you confident you'll perform at your best?
Not many people enjoy job interviews. Most of us feel nervous. We don't know what to expect. We are afraid of making the wrong impression by either drying up or talking too much.
We offer you a 2-hour coaching session with a booklet to keep. We'll analyse the job carefully, then prepare what you can say to show you have the right skills and experience.
We'll deal with any special worries. You'll take part in a short mock interview, then discuss what went well and how to work on any problem areas.
Your booklet will provide tips and hints, and remind you how to prepare for future interviews.
Time required: 1 meeting of 2 hours
