Your Career, Your Journey, Your Future

Your Career, Your Journey, Your Future

A settled, optimistic and rewarding job status can suddenly, through circumstances often not entirely of our own making, become a more turbulent roller-coaster of uncertainty, loss of control and trepidation about the future.

So how do we best anticipate and prepare for a time when we are not so settled as now? How do we give ourselves an insurance policy for the future and in so doing identify the more immediate actions that we can and should take right now to prepare for the possibility of a changed and possibly uncertain future? And how do we do so in a way that will enhance our future career chances?

So to help address these questions, we have produced and launched a practical workbook and Guide entitled “Navigating Your Future” - a downloadable e-publication designed as a self-help toolkit and framework for career-minded individuals to plan for the future.

FESTIVE QUESTIONS

One trend that has emerged very clearly from the wreckage of 2020 is a questioning and reappraisal by many individuals about what they really want next from their careers.

The turbulence and dislocation of this year has caused many to ask some deeper more challenging questions of themselves..

Understated, Undervalued? 

Understated, Undervalued? 

If you leave it to chance, a job interview can be a somewhat clumsy and imperfect way of adequately representing you and your stand-out talents. However with positive help, good technique and lots of practice you can quickly minimise any chance of understating yourself and move quickly from a job hopeful to a job winner. 

In our day to day private work with individuals we quite often find that some very talented and experienced people significantly under-value and under-sell themselves, often without realising that they are doing so. Today’s recruitment market is very unforgiving if you cannot assert yourself and your distinctive value in the key messages that you transmit about yourself through every stage of a recruitment process.
