Whether you are looking for a career change, a new role as a result of redundancy or you have just reached a career crossroads triggered by a change of circumstances, Appleby Associates will provide advice and support to help you to make the right choices to get your career back on track.
We do not draw a rigid distinction between career consultant, career coach, career adviser and career counsellor. You will work with a career professional who will invariably wear all four hats at different times as appropriate. For the sake of brevity we generally use career consultant as shorthand for all four descriptions.
The first step – meeting your career consultant
As a first step, you would meet a professional career consultant to determine your specific needs and aspirations. At that meeting which is confidential, free and without obligation on either side, the career consultant (who would subsequently become your career consultant if the two of you decided to move ahead) would show you, in some detail, how the two of you would work together to identify the right career objective and then how to develop the necessary marketing tools to achieve it.
Common sense will tell you that it is essential for you to spend time (not just a quick five minute hello) with the individual that you would be working with and not just a salesperson before you make your decision. After all you are buying a personal service and not a commodity. Selecting the right individual career consultant is a decision that is too important to be left to others. It is a decision that you alone can make, do not be persuaded otherwise. At Appleby Associates we don’t employ sales people, we only employ career consultants so we can guarantee that you will always meet a career consultant.
