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.

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.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for the career advice and help I received from you; it has been absolutely invaluable.
As a little update, I am now 8 weeks into an MSc in Occupational & Organisational Psychology (Part-time, distance learning) at University of Northumbria, and am working part time at the events company below too that you found! I approached them even though they didn’t have any suitable vacancies at the time but then they got back to me and have created a part-time position for me!
I am also out of my toxic old job and so much happier.
Thank you so much, it’s absolutely changed my life.

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.

Hi, I’m sorting out papers and I re-read my report from Career Analysts from 1993, by Alexis Hallam. She really got me! I’m absolutely full of amazement about how accurate her assessment was in terms of my work needs and personality. I now have my dream job teaching psychology part time at a school in Bath, three gorgeous children and good self-esteem! With thanks and appreciation (I didn’t believe in myself back in 1993).

Helen
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 self-awareness was fairly good already. However, Career Analysts affirmed that having my own company is right for me and to continue with this. I have come away feeling more positive about the way I work and more in control.

Career Analysts made me think about all of my needs from a job and what kind of skills I have. The Psychologist/career counsellor was very warm and friendly, made an effort to understand me and made me feel I have lots of choices. I’m now considering very different options to the ones I was considering before I came.

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.

Grace and Jonty
Dear Leo,
Just to say how delighted I have been with the career guidance service that you have offered to Grace and Jonty. Grace has made an application to train as a primary school teacher. The assurance of your analysis was absolutely key to this. Jonty is a year or two further away from the employment market place, but my hope was that you would give him ideas that were novel and out of the box – which you certainly did. Let’s see where he goes, but this experience will have been invaluable whatever happens.
I’ve left a review on Google.
Many thanks once again

Arron
We approached Career Analysts seeking clarification about our younger son’s best direction in his post-16 education and future career direction. Understanding his strengths and likes we had to some extent done our own research, but we were still unsure as to his best direction. The testing, interview and research carried out before/after his interview all indicated that he was indeed heading in the right direction. The clarification from Mary, our son’s adviser, was most valuable to us – and indeed our son. Mary has obviously done a large amount of research in producing her written report. This is why, for example, she was able to suggest a possible course at an institution which we would never have known about or considered ourselves. The service offered by Career Analysts should be considered as an investment – in your own, or your child’s future. By all means do your own research which will undoubtedly prove beneficial. The testing, interpretation of results and pursuant opportunities regarding future education and employment opportunities is not something you will easily navigate as a result of your own efforts though. So, if you can afford, I’d say buy.

Just as an update as to my situation from a year ago. The report proved useful as it helped to give a clear representation of my strengths and weaknesses and extrapolate from there. I have ended up a software engineer for a very large defence contractor and so far I haven’t done too badly so far.

Lisa
HI and thanks… I didn’t know the significance of the report until now… 12 years on!
12 years ago I came to Career Analyst as I had just been made redundant. I remember spending an interesting day with you and did a whole bunch of tests and had a chat with someone.
Back then, I had commitments and didn’t really take on board the significance of what the report was actually telling me, nor did I listen to my gut & heart which were both saying “go for your dreams” and so I went back to Corporate, mainly to pay for our mortgage, for another 8 years.
I pulled out my report at the weekend and had to smile. The 3 key jobs recommended back then were: Executive Coach, Occupational Psychologist, Trainer. All I remember from the meeting was Occupational Psychologist and at 34, I didn’t fancy going back to Uni and re-training.
3 years ago I changed my life and walked away from Corporate – guess what I do now? Yep, Training and Coaching and I love it! I may not be earning as much as I did in my Corporate role, but I feel my life is enriched by what I do…
Just wanted to say a belated thanks to whoever helped me back then…!

Richard
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.

We were really pleased with the results of James’s session with your company. He is very happy in his job (as an electrician) and is doing really well. We have spoken very highly of the results and have given your details to lots of people!
We would like to book a similar session for our younger son Ben. He has just taken his GCSEs, so we would like to book an appointment for after he gets his results (some time in the week of 28th August).
