Finding The Perfect Job
For individuals who wish to continue in employment Peter's counselling normally includes the following key elements:
- Guidance on identifying the individual's ideal work preferences, including advice on appropriate self assessment tools.
- Producing CVs that do the individuals justice and result in interviews; such CVs are likely to include a clear factual summary of the individual, and objective and verifiable evidence of results delivered.
- Developing a marketing strategy which will include responding to job advertisements, dealing with headhunters/recruitment consultants, networking, direct marketing, and using the internet effectively.
- Providing information on appropriate headhunters/recruitment consultants, current advertised vacancies, and organisations which could be appropriate targets for direct marketing.
- Training on how to implement the marketing strategy in the most effective way, including how to network successfully.
- Advice on preparation for interviews and practice in interviewing technique; the key objective is to ensure that the individuals do themselves justice at interviews.
- Support and encouragement during the job search campaign, including assistance in negotiation with prospective employers.
