Careers Advice

Would just like to inform you that I have just found employment as a Senior Intelligence Analyst working for a fraud investigation company in Gloucester. Thank you for all your help and guidance.

Thank you for your time this morning, I felt you made a really excellent assessment and feel encouraged that there is a way forward emerging now.

Some of the suggestions were things I had already thought of, but Mary had new ideas too + tried to wrestle with my myriad of issues! It’s been great for me to try and see why some ideas are no longer appealing (albeit work areas in which I have long-standing experience), and to have a really sound baseline of ideas for me to consider what I do next. Particularly useful was the discussion with Mary and the efforts she took to try and understand my circumstances. Her moral support for my current career / employment difficulties.

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.

Several comments really rang true. I had thought counselling might suit me, but she advised against it and when I mentioned this to close family they agreed with the Career Analyst.

Please could you tell your occupational psychologist that I took the job with the charity and I’m loving it! Thanks!

I came to Career Analysts following a divorce and being made redundant from a dead-end job. I saw an advert and decided to make the investment. It was the best money I have ever spent. Your psychologist told me – who had been a failure at school – that I was in the top 2% in the country for my problem-solving and spatial skills and that I had the capability to study for a degree! She brushed aside my protestations about not having O or A levels or First Degree and told me that I would ‘find a way’.

She was so right – albeit that it was some nine years later that I was accepted onto a MSc in strategic HRM at Anglia Ruskin University as a result of conducting a three-and-a-half-year major change consultancy assignment. To cap it all, I was accepted into MENSA a year later. I will be singing your praises and recommending you to anyone who needs you.

Thank you.

I feel that I have taken the first steps to changing my career to do something I have always wanted to do and I appreciate all the help that you gave me, particularly my discussions with the Occupational Psychologist. Without that day I doubt that I would have had the confidence to make the necessary changes, or even able to sort out the options available to me. Now, I feel I have had a new lease of life and I am thoroughly enjoying it.

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.

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.

Hi Leo, Many thanks for the report, it’s been really helpful. Thanks.

Thanks for your email. I did manage to secure a role in Transport for London in project management. And yes, it was your analytical assessment that prompted me to seek a career in project management.

I am doing well and I am gaining valuable experience in the industry. Additionally, the job comes with its pressures but I thrive in the challenges it throws at me.

Please pass my regards to Sherridan and I will one of these days pay you guys a visit. I will go online and recommend your excellent services, especially to veterans and many who are transitioning from the military to civilian life.

Thanks again and I will hope to hear from you soon.

Dear Leo I thought I would drop you a quick note to give you some feedback on my experience with Career Analysts. I was particularly impressed with the Occupational Psychologist. She clearly understood my objectives and did a lot of research to make sure the advice she gave me was specific to my needs. This allowed my time with her to be productive and highly focused on what I wanted to achieve. The Occupational Psychologist’s insight into the specific job role I was looking for, combined with an uncanny ability to access my personality, was truly remarkable.

She helped me build confidence and understand what was driving me in my previous jobs. I constantly try to analyse my job skills and look at how I can improve myself. The Occupational Psychologist took that to a completely different level and within an hour with her it was clear I couldn’t see the wood from the trees. The net result was that within a matter of weeks I was able to secure a job in a completely different industry. I am extremely grateful to the Occupational Psychologist and Career Analysts for helping me understand my vocation and future path. I would not hesitate to recommend your services.

Regards Richard
