Strategic Career Management for Long-Term Success
Reflect, Reassess, and Realign
Sometimes it’s not just about the next job, it’s about stepping back and evaluating where your career is headed. Our Career Management programme helps you reflect on your journey so far, clarify your goals, and create a plan that balances professional achievement with personal fulfilment.
We begin with a full review of your skills, personality, experience, and ambitions, so we can tailor the programme to your unique circumstances.
Psychometric Assessment & Career Counselling
Our approach includes a deep psychometric analysis to identify the roles and industries that align with your motivations, strengths and personality. This is followed by a one-to-one session with a qualified Occupational Psychologist, who will help you explore realistic career options and map out your next steps.
You’ll receive a detailed personal report with insights and recommendations based on your assessment.
Build Your Personal Career Plan
With a clear sense of direction, we move into self-marketing. You’ll learn how to identify career opportunities and how to present yourself confidently through CVs, applications, networking and interviews. Your advisor will help you set clear objectives, refine your approach, and launch your campaign with a strong, targeted strategy.

Jobseeker Support: How We Help You Get the Job
CV Writing Support
A CV isn’t just a list of qualifications, it’s your first opportunity to market yourself. Our consultants know exactly what employers look for and how to showcase your strengths in a way that gets noticed.
Together, we’ll craft a CV that positions you as a compelling candidate for the roles you want.
Job Search & Application Help
There’s more to job hunting than trawling job boards. We’ll show you how to identify roles through online platforms, recruitment consultants, personal networks, and direct applications.
You’ll also learn how to tailor cover letters and application forms for maximum impact.
Interview Techniques Coaching
Interviews are your chance to shine, but preparation is key. You’ll take part in a mock interview with an experienced trainer, receive feedback on your performance, and learn how to handle tough questions with confidence.
We’ll also help you master non-verbal cues, presentation skills, and follow-up techniques.

Just wanted to say what a lovely chat I had with Mary today. I felt like she took the time to really understand me and see how to tailor careers to suit me personally rather than trying to force anything on me, and I appreciated how at ease she made me and felt the overall experience was very rewarding so I look forward to reading her report further to the session.

I wanted to thank you for your insightful advice when we met. I’ve just completed the certificate course in Hypnotherapy and am starting the diploma in a couple of weeks! It’s fascinating and I am positively hooked. About a year from now I shall be qualified and hopefully starting up my own practice! Thanks again for your advice and time. Will keep you posted!

I’m writing to say how impressed we were with your career guidance for my daughter Lainey, and to request your assistance with our younger daughter Gabriella. She is nearly 14 and has to choose her GCSE subjects but is really struggling – she’s only got three option slots but wants to do six subjects, which school will not allow her to do. She’s getting 8s and 9s for every subject (apart from PE, which I’m not bothered about! ) and she would really appreciate some help in choosing her direction of study. Can you help?

Just been clearing out ahead of moving house, and found a report that I commissioned from you back in 1994! I was only 2 years past graduating from my masters and feeling a bit frustrated….
Anyway, it is a very interesting read, and I wondered whether you ever follow up to see where your clients end up in their careers? The psychologist that I saw was Alexis Hallam, but probably not with you now?
Anyway, let me know if you want me to send you a copy of the report and maybe a copy of my current CV as a case study…..

My consultant was v. enthusiastic and understanding. Didn’t apply one formula – she gave me individual attention. The report arrived v. efficiently and was well laid out. The Career Analysts experience – it’s like holding up a mirror to yourself. The consultant gave me a lot of encouragement and really helped me see my strengths.

Hi Leo and Mary, it was lovely meeting you both on Friday. Thank you for all your help and advice, it was a refreshing change to see William animated and motivated after our meeting. He knows he has a long way to go but he has our support. He visited the local college on Saturday as they had an open day and enquired about IT courses.

Oliver
The process helped me to understand my strengths and where my areas of interests lie. I feel like I have a better vision of what career I want to go into. Leo took the time to help me out and was very patient when dealing with me. The programme was structured well. Although it was quite challenging I felt as though I benefited from it. The report helped me to gain a better and more solid understanding of my career pathway.
I understood through this programme how I could utilise my strengths to serve a purpose. I feel it is better to follow your intuition than follow a course of action you are not familiar with. I found that working with the psychologist helped me to gain a different perspective on work. The experience also caused me to change my opinion on my career options.

Gabrielle
Following my consultation with Mary last week I have to say a huge thank you to you both.
Mary covered all of the career options I had raised and provided extremely helpful career and personal advice over an unexpected 3 hour session!
She really seemed to understand what I was needing to get out of the consultation and I have taken away some valuable things about myself that I hadn’t realised or was reluctant to accept about myself prior to the session.
I now have a better understanding as to the type of career that would be suited to me and now it’s a case of working out which one I want to pursue.
The consultation has provided me with valuable insight about myself so thank you again to everyone at Career Analysts.

Dear Career Analysts, I wanted to let you know how I got on following your help in August 2014.
Firstly, it was incredibly helpful to have your perspective and advice at what was a really difficult time for me. As a result of your suggestions, I applied for Master’s courses in Operational Research and, notwithstanding my 3rd class degree, was offered a place at Southampton.
I spent the academic year 2014-15 in Southampton and have just received confirmation of my result which was a Distinction (average over 70%).
The course was much more varied than I was used to and involved the development of skills such as team work and presentations which I had not previously encountered at Cambridge. I really enjoyed the course which concluded with a two month work placement at the University of Augsburg in Germany working on a project for Allianz insurance and the completion of a report.
I submitted my report at the end of September and began applying for jobs. I have just started work in Operational Research for a major travel business.
In the summer of 2015 Cambridge agreed to upgrade my degree to a 2:2.
I wanted to let you know how I got on and to thank you for all your help and advice which has made such a difference to my situation over the last year or so.

I found the Career Analysts experience extremely valuable. The testing and discussion with Pamela indicated to me that actually I was following the wrong career path when taking my natural strengths in to account. The report and recommendations that were presented to me have helped me to make the decision to set off in a different direction in my career.
I found that while the testing and the report itself are very valuable, Pamela worked with me in order to find specific niches and area’s that I had either not thought about in the past, or at least from the incorrect perspective. It is obvious that Pamela is very interested in and excited by her current role.
Having a visual representation of my abilities and having an expert explain the results and take my input in to account in the consultation made me realise that I had been pursuing my goals in ways that were detrimental to my happiness and success.

Thank you for your email and the attached report. I have now received the hard copy too. It was an interesting day, the tests and the subsequent consultation.

The Career Analysts’ experience was useful in confirming what should be my first step in making a positive career adjustment. The Occupational Psychologist was very easy to talk to; a very relaxed session. Honest and realistic about the current job market/climate.
