Taking charge of your future
Few people have a job for life, and increasingly individuals may face one or more key transitions in their career. Sometimes this can be by choice, sometimes it’s not. Changes like this can create a lot of uncertainty – Where can I find meaning in my work? What should I do next? How can I market myself effectively? Where can I find the right role that suits me? And how can I perform at my best in my new job?
In such a situation, it’s key to have someone who really understands you, who speaks your language, that you can trust, and who can be an experienced partner to help you through this transition. It’s also about getting support that’s tailored to your needs, and assistance with activities that might be difficult, such as redefining your career goals, developing your value proposition, writing an impactful CV, preparing for interviews, or increasing your effectiveness at work. Careers matter: we may spend a third of our life at work, so it’s important to get it right.
