Welcome to The Career Owl
"Helping you to explore your career options"
Are you at a career crossroads and don't know what to do?
Are you new to the world of work and don't know where to look?
Have you had a career break and unsure on the impact on your career?
I can help by working with you to explore your career options, create a strategy that shows future employers why they should attract, hire and retain you within their business and documents which support this.
Contact me for a free Discovery session (completed via Zoom webinar or phone call) so we can find out more about each other and agree the next steps and what you need support with. Book a slot in my calendar via the link below.
The world we live in is increasingly becoming more diverse and complex with a job for life becoming an outdated concept. The driving force guiding your career must come from you and requires you to clearly think about what you truly want, treat yourself as a business with a product to sell and create a strategy to show a future employer, or indeed your current employer, why they should attract, hire and retain you within a business. I look forward to being able to help you achieve your next goal.
“You are capable of more than you know. Choose a goal that seems right for you and strive to be the best however hard the path. Aim high. Behave honourably. Prepare to be alone at times and to endure failure. Persist! The world needs all you can give." Edward O Wilson

What to do first?
The key in any career review and being able to move forward is to analyse your past and be honest with what was good and wasn’t so good so that you can plan your future career pathway. Ask yourself the following questions:-
1. Who are you?
2. What are your passions?
3. What are your skills?
4. What are your values?
5. What have been your career achievements to date?
6. What experience do you have?
7. What are you good at?
8. What don’t you like in a role?
To support this you could complete a personal SWOT analysis.
Some additional sites to assist you with this can be found via www.thecareerowl.co.uk/downloads.html
By working with me we will examine your interests, skills, experience and accomplishments to develop you and your brand. We will also look at potential barriers and plan to overcome them. Most important, you will learn the skills necessary to implement your plan.
