New Career Max Diss

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

Extremely. My conversation with Mary was which I look back on very fondly. Either we had extremely pliable personalities or she was very good at her job. Both are probably true. What I found valuable, was not the career paths we discussed, rather the subtle hints woven into the report. She has put a lot of effort and thought into every career option. Although this was useful, I found the ‘reading between the lines’ far more valuable.

How satisfied were you with your consultant?

Extremely. Mary was able to read me on site and despite the lullabies I had in my head, she saw straight through these. She also had the experience of meeting my parents, who can be challenging at best. She handled the situation extremely well and left us all extremely impressed with the consultancy.

How satisfied were you with your report?

Very. Although it has taken me some time to sort my head out, and I have been stuck in a state of denial for some time now. This report which helped me come out of this and understand myself. Mary has put a lot of effort into writing my report and it really shows that she has gone the extra mile.

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

Extremely. As mentioned before, the report gave me a true and honest interpretation of myself.

What were your reasons for coming to Career Analysts?

Totally lost about career path. Assessing strengths and weaknesses.

Which aspects did you find particularly useful?

What helped me was the personality assessment and her frank recommendations. Every career path we discussed (other than salesperson) I had considered before. It did not offer me insight into which career path I should venture down, but helped me understand myself and I am grateful for the experience.

What aspect, if any, could be improved?

My constructive criticism would be to have more time. Although I often went off on a tangent, I was constantly reminded of the time we had available and I was not able to relax fully under the time pressure. Of course, everybody has a time schedule to stick to, however, I was upset because this service has a large asking price and with so little time, it did not feel like we were getting our moneys worth.
