Career Coaching Package

This middle-senior management-level career coaching package is designed for people who are changing companies, have recently been made redundant or are returning to work after a break, e.g. maternity, childcare, travelling, re-location.

It will help you with the practical aspects of applying for jobs and performing well in interviews, as well as helping to build your confidence and to maximise your chances of landing the right middle or senior management-level role.

Here is what is included in this package:

• 6 private sessions with your own Career Coach where you talk through your career goals, polish your CV, identify your strengths and weaknesses, practice interview techniques and get help with keeping you on track with applications.  Your coach is also there to help you build your confidence, banish pre-interview nerves and be at the other end of the phone when you need them.
• CV review and critique.
• In-depth psychometric profile to help you understand your strengths and weaknesses.  This will also help you to anticipate and prepare for interview questions as well as deciding on whether a job is really the right one for you.
• Copy of ‘How to Get Your CV Noticed’ – audio recording of seminar by Hannah McNamara
• Unlimited email support from your Career Coach between scheduled sessions
• Emergency helpline - use this when you need to speak to your coach and it can’t wait until your next session

Sessions take place weekly or more frequently if required.

Pre-work

Before your first session, you will be asked to complete/compile the following and send them to your coach:

• Psychometric profile
• Up-to-date CV and examples of covering letters
• Audit of achievements to date
• Collate feedback from previous appraisals/reviews and send to coach
• Think about immediate career goals – what do I want to be doing in 6 months, 1 year and 5 years?
• Collate details of recent job applications and interview feedback to date
• Collate advertisements for jobs you’ll like to apply for
• Portfolio/examples of your work

Sessions with your Coach

In addition to your scheduled sessions with your coach, you are able to contact them by phone between sessions to share a success or if you need urgent advice, for example just before an interview.  You also have unlimited email contact with them (within reason) between sessions to update them on your progress.

All sessions are flexible, so they can happen in any order according to your priorities.  For example, if you want to use session 2 to role play for an interview that you’ve got that week, then you can.

Between sessions you will be given ‘homework’ exercises to work on through the week so that you come to each session having made considerable progress.

Session 1 — Career Review and Action Plan (2 hours)

With your coach you’ll be objectively examining your career history to date, taking an honest look at what you’re good at and which roles you are most suited for, and starting to put together an action plan for getting you back to work as quickly as possible.

Session 2 — Defining Your Brand and Your USP (2 hours)

In this session you’ll be focusing on who you are, how you want to be perceived by employers, why you think someone should hire you and the feedback you’ve had so far about your interview technique.  You’ll get honest feedback on your CV and have the opportunity to talk through how you can change people’s perceptions of you so that they see you in the right light.

Session 3 — Personal SWOT Analysis (2 hours)

In this session, you’ll build on the previous session to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats relating to your career and your job prospects.  In this session you’ll refine the jobs and markets that you’re targeting and start to identify a ‘hit list’ of employers to target.

Session 4 — Your Personal Marketing Strategy (2 hours)

In this session, you’ll be setting out your Marketing Strategy for your personal campaign to find a new job.  To identify opportunities, build rapport with the recruiter and secure a new position, you MUST be able to market yourself and then close the sale.

Session 5 — Writing Winning CVs, Covering Letters and Introductory E-mails (2 hours)

You’ll be shown which words and phrases will make your application stand out on paper and which ones are at best meaningless and at worst will result in your application going on the NO pile as soon as it’s opened.

Session 6 — Interview Success (2 hours)

In this session, you’ll be conducting an interview role-play.  Prepare for and arrive at your session as if you are going for an interview.  Seen the tough interviews on ‘The Apprentice’?  You ain’t seen nothing yet!  Perform well in this interview and you’ll be ready for anything.  After the interview is over, you’ll get immediate feedback on how you did plus advice and tips on how to improve.
