Kick-start your career

This program has four key stages and is a fully customized ‘high touch’ 1:1 career mentoring service for 6 months that is based on giving you the tools and the confidence to get the career you want. The emphasis is on spending ‘face to face’ time with you to get to know you as a person, understanding your motivations, assets and interests. We then provide a fully customised career management plan and introduce you to organisations and recruitment companies that are a fit with your aspirations and capabilities.

Stage 1 – Pre face-to-face meeting

Insight, Clarity and Direction

Typically, this stage involves a selection of online testing in a number of core components using online and psychometric tools covering:

• Character strengths and values
• Motivational values
• Work history and work style interviews
• Requisite cognitive power – capacity to handle work complexity at different levels
• Verbal, numerical & abstract reasoning
• Personality Profile
• Character values
• Soft Skills IQ preferences
• DiSC – behavioral style
• Career motivation and interests

Once the online assessments are completed, you will receive a copy of test results. With the above information we then create an introduction letter which forms the foundation of your personalised marketing package.

Stage 2 – Face to Face Meeting

Market Alignment of Capabilities

This stage involves developing market centric written materials. This includes developing professional profile documents in the form of covering letters and a CV/resume that provides clarity and purpose and details the value you as a candidate bring to the table.

This stage also involves advanced behavioural interview skills training to ensure key messages are articulated clearly and effectively at each interview. Also involves developing a customized strategy to ‘sell oneself’ and developing aligned verbal
and non-verbal messages that are effective and culturally relevant to your Industry.

Stage 3 – Face to face meeting

Social Media + Networking + Action Planning for Market Deployment

With 80% of jobs no longer found in newspapers or on-line this stage involves reviewing, rebuilding/creating a LinkedIn profile and learning how to tap into networks, where many career opportunities lie. These networking activities provide an important part of each professional’s career platform. Once a social media presence is established we work with you to develop an employment action plan.
