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.

I must say it makes a great deal of difference – thank you very much for an enjoyable experience.

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.

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.

Career Analysts helped me to find out what sort of careers I am best suited for, all of the suggestions appealed to me and some of which I never would have considered without their help. My career consultant was very easy to talk with, I never felt under pressure and the consultation was an absolute joy to have done. The report was very interesting and informative and the Careers Analysts experience overall has helped me to know more about where my strengths lie and has given me some direction.

I haven’t had a chance to go through the official feedback process yet. I will though, but meanwhile must say how pleased I am with Mary’s report. It’s been such a helpful process and I’m delighted with the advice she has offered. I shall follow through with the proper feedback process ASAP.

The career analysts experience was very valuable. Some of the information I already knew but it was good to see how that fitted into my career choice. Some info was surprising too!

Simon
Hi Leo, thank you for emailing me a copy of my report, I have had a good look and am very happy with its contents. I have found the process of Career Analysts thoroughly enjoyable and highly motivating. I have already begun to implement some changes in my life which are starting to reap benefits and open up new opportunities along the way. I feel that the type of information I was given following the assessment of my test results and the life skills interview with Sherridan is an opportunity that everyone should be afforded.
It seems an almost natural step to take between school and further education and I know that I would have certainly benefitted from this process at that stage in my life, but that said, I am not about to let 15 years get in the way of my goals now. Please pass on my kindest thanks to Sherridan for giving me the opportunity to see my true potential and for being so understanding when she listened to my ramblings surrounding my life thus far and the accident. Many thanks again to you both.

Lily
Hi Leo,
I’m not sure if this will reach you after all these years, but worth a try!
I just wanted to say how accurate Lily’s report and recommendation turned out to be. At the time, she was a little disappointed that the analysis didn’t support her career goals at that point. She was keen on law and the recommendations of a healthcare/medical path didn’t sit well. The healthcare university courses mentioned in the report were something she didn’t want to go for and she ended up graduating in political science from Birmingham (you did recommend PPE as a more general option).
Lily is now working as a patient flow manager in the NHS. She loves her job. The interesting thing is that she wasn’t consciously drawn to this as a result of her report. But, as it turns out, your recommendations of working in management and policy in a healthcare setting was spot on.
I came across her report after I recommended Career Analysts to a friend. I sent the report onto Lily as a reminder. She had forgotten the detail and was a bit spooked (in a good way) about how accurate it was.
We shouldn’t be surprised of course. However, I just wanted to say, after all this time, what a useful and insightful experience Career Analyst was. I will be definitely recommending you.
Regards.

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.

Dear Leo,
Good afternoon,
I found my career analysis report from the 7th of September 2000 (I was 17 at the time). I would like to thank Dr Alexis Hallam for such an accurate and insightful assessment. I am now working in wildlife conservation in Asia. Although not consciously, I am pretty sure the results of the Career Report helped build my confidence in pursuing my dreams and putting in the work needed to achieve them. Furthermore, Dr Hallam’s secondary assessment of training as a physical therapist has turned out to be extremely accurate as well, a field for which I have developed a significant interest over the past decade as I have taken up a number of new sports. Thank you again.
Best regards
Alexander

I have kept my career report from 1995 by Alexis Hallam and periodically read it. Very accurate and still resonates. Out of curiosity I went to your web site and see I am not the only person who has done this. Alexis must have been very good.

High quality service offered, both in terms of consultation and psychometric assessments used for guidance. Felt understood and cared about throughout the whole process, and they went above and beyond in accommodating any questions or concerns I had going in.

The best parts were finding out about my strengths and weaknesses and the analysts if my personality helped me to find out what I might find fulfilling/rewarding out of a career. Also the recommendations of career paths and just parts where it was recognised whether or not a certain aspect of a career would suit me, e.g working in a team.

Hi there,
I just want to thank you Leo, and if you can pass on my feedback to Sherridan – she was absolutely fantastic and took the time to explain everything to me and really going beyond just the career aspect of it 🙂

Jaime
By far the most valuable and revealing aspect of the whole experience was the personal consultancy. The occupational psychologist was simply masterful in her exploration and understanding my mind, far more so than I am myself. The careers that she was describing, and the way she was describing them, sounded exactly like the type of work I would like to be involved in later on in life.

David
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.

Amy
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.

I had accepted an offer for a BSc but wanted to check what my options would be with (and without) the degree. I am now set on doing the degree and have a much better idea what I can and might want to do with it. I feel much more confident in my mathematical abilities (and skills in general) and have a good idea what I need to work on. The report was detailed and helpful following on from the discussion on the day.
I feel I know what I need to work on with CBT in the future, and I have a better idea of what jobs I would be suited to (and, reassuringly, that there are such jobs…). I found particularly useful the warning about teaching as possibly being particularly stressful for someone like me. Confirmation of my skills and abilities.
