Step two will provide you with the necessary marketing materials designed to support your career search objective, demonstrate your skills as a “product” and market you and your capabilities as an individual, in an effective and convincing manner.

Marketing yourself effectively is critical. Your set of written marketing materials will include an impressive LinkedIn and capability profile, a compelling CV or a biography, (whichever is most appropriate to your situation and objective) that makes you stand out from the crowd and a comprehensive set of application letters to address each of the four routes to market.

You will then learn more productive ways to respond to job advertisements; identify the right head- hunters and recruiters and directly approach selected organisations. You will also be provided with guidance on increasing your web presence by raising your profile on social media.

Together with your consultant you will examine the four routes to market with particular emphasis to those routes that are most relevant to your specific situation and objective. You will gain a greater understanding of how the market and expectations of employers has changed and what you can do to influence it.

You will acquire techniques that will ensure that your responses to press and online advertised positions are more effective and how to access the informal/unadvertised market, which is where around two-thirds of senior level opportunities are to be found. You will gain additional insight into the way in which head-hunters and recruiters operate and make them keen to take you on.

You will develop effective networking techniques that will allow you to confidently extend your current network and develop new networks. Your consultant will explain the dos and don’ts of productive networking and how to maintain your reputation on social media channels.

We follow a proven methodology with flexibility built in, and we’ll work with you to ensure that the programme you get is the one that really meets your particular needs.

You will be supported throughout by a professional career consultant who will have sufficient time and flexibility to tailor the programme to your individual needs, situation and time-scales.
