Career Advice Development Service

Using our extensive experience in the sector, across recruitment, consulting and training, we have developed a unique and specialised third sector career development programme.  Using our expertise we have developed a number of packages designed to help you achieve your career goals. It is possible to combine packages and to develop a tailor-made session according to your needs, always with a minimum session time of one and a half hours.

How do we work?

All of our services encompass three stages and are carried out via Skype and email:

• Training Needs Analysis and Planning;- Identifying your development needs and agreeing on the scope of work, whether it is with an already developed or tailor-made package.
• One to one work sessions;- In your development area.
• Reviewing and Evaluating;- A closing session to develop a clear forward progression with an action plan.

Package 1: CVs

This package consists of:

• Initial diagnostics and planning via Skype or face to face, what role do you need your CV for, why are you looking to update/change it?
• CV revision: our experienced consultants will begin to work on your CV highlighting areas of recommended change, adding comments and questions for you to address. This is then emailed to the candidate to work on and sent back to the consultant once completed. This process is repeated a couple of times until the final version is reached. A final spelling and grammar check is completed and then we move on to the final stage.
• Reviewing and evaluating your final CV and answering any remaining questions.
