Career Change Marcel Attard

How valuable was the Career Analysts experience in helping you create a framework within which to make career decisions?

Very. It was really useful being told the kind of job and environment that I might be the most suied to based on my personality. I did not feel strongly about all the career possibilities that the consultant suggested but there were 2 or 3 of them that appealed to me which I am thinking about in more detail before I make a decision moving forward.

 How satisfied were you with your consultant?

Extremely. She was very attentive and really wanted to find out as much as about me as possible so she could give me the best advice. She made me feel like she genuinely cared about helping me which is something that I wanted from the consultant. She explained the results of the tests well so that I understood everything.

How satisfied were you with your report?

Very. It was more detailed than I expected which was great. She went into detail about the tests and what they most likely mean for the type of career I should be going for. It was also useful to see that she was writing things which I already knew about myself which gave me confidence in what I was feeling about my career.

How valuable was the Career Analysts experience in helping you to understand yourself better?

Very.  I already knew some of the things that were said in the report but there was also some information that I didn’t know which is hopefully going to be useful in making a decision.

What were your reasons for coming to Career Analysts?

Totally lost about career path.

Which aspects did you find particularly useful?

I think the tests were useful because they confirm things that you already know about yourself. The best thing I found about this was for my own confidence in that I now know what I think about myself is right, whereas before I wasn’t sure. Talking to someone is useful because it helps when someone asks you questions. Sometimes it can make things a bit clearer if you have a discussion with someone.

What aspect, if any, could be improved?

I had to call myself to ask for confirmation of my appointment with the psychologist. I would have preferred a slightly more efficient confirmation process via email because although the appointment was confirmed by telephone I had to call again because I didn’t receive my email confirmation with the details, I had to ask for it myself, it’s not a big thing but it would have just made the process a bit smoother and enjoyable.
