Half Day Careers Advice / One to One Coaching £ 385 + VAT
(Extendable to a Full Day £ 495 + VAT)
Our Half and One Day Support Programmes are totally ‘open format’. Mostly we use the time for job seeking advice, however we can adapt the support to cover areas such as Retirement Planning and Self Employment. The sessions are designed to provide an individual with all the knowledge and guidance they need to successfully ‘self market’ and find a new job.
Half Day support allows us to focus the individual upon the activities involved in job hunting. We highlight changes to an existing CV or assist in how to go about writing a CV.
Full Day support allows us to work more closely with the person in areas such as CV writing, producing covering letters, and providing more specific ‘hands on’ support.
Both packages include:
CV Guidance
Writing an effective CV highlighting skills and achievements Consultants advise on the language used, the layout and the introduction of ‘buzz’ words which enable recruiters searching the online CV databases to find them.
