Detailed Programme Breakdown
A time of career transition, whether chosen by you or forced by redundancy can turn into the best at thing that ever happened to you. I’ll show you how to:
* Identify and consider different career options and decide which you want to follow
* Consider your career in the context of your whole life so that the decision you finally make is right for you
* Be confident that the decision you make is the right one for you right now
Understanding your contributions (skills, qualities, achievements) is the first step in going to the job market. You’ll:
* Understand clearly what those contributions are (almost certainly more than you currently realise)
* Know exactly what your transferrable skills and qualities are, and which you want to use
* Have a framework to articulate them clearly on your CV and in interviews
Whether you’re looking for something similar or a complete career change, it’s important to know what your options and best next career steps are. You’ll:
* Create a clear profile of what makes an ideal job for you
* Consider different options and opportunities
* Learn how to use your network to explore those options
The difficulty with a CV is that everyone you show it to seems to have an opinion, and it’s often the opposite of what the last person said to you. I’ll show you
* Different styles of CV and which will work best for you now
* How to use the language on your CV to create powerful messages that increase your chances of being invited for interview
There’s so much more to applying for a job than answering adverts on-line. Sure, that’s part of it but there’s so much more you can do to increase your success rate: you’ll:
* Know how to get noticed by recruiters
* Learn strategies to build and use your on-line and off-line network to access the hidden job market and manage your career successfully in the future
* Discover how to draft good cover and speculative approach letters and plan for the conversations that will help you land the interviews you want
This is probably the part of the whole getting-a-new-job process that people fear, but you don’t need to. I’ll show you
* How to answer common interview questions and talk confidently and powerfully about yourself, giving compelling reasons why you should be offered the job
* What questions to ask and how to ask them so that they sell you as well
* How to present yourself and how to deal with different interview scenarios
Once you’ve landed a new role, you’ll want to make a plan so that you set off on the right foot and make sure that this next step works for you. I’ll help you
* Set your stall out at your new company
* Plan for success in your new role
* Make sure that your new job continues to be fulfilling
