CAREER MENTORING

Navigate Meaningful Change

Career progression and transition advisory services are provided to client individuals – on a mentor relationship basis. The emphasis in career mentoring is to identify and attain an individual client’s next, ideal role e.g. a lateral or vertical move, a new industry or work contract.

Our emphasis is representing and advocating an individual, particularly in the “hidden” jobs market. We source and evaluate opportunities; on which basis clients confirm their level of interest in the role. Our advisory services extend through the recruitment, selection and appointment negotiation processes; until the client achieves a desired outcome.
