Career Guidance on Zoom

I work over Zoom as I found during lockdown that it had some major advantages over in-person work:

  • It’s great to have a whiteboard and digital notes available that can be worked on collaboratively and easily emailed after the appointment
  • It’s really helpful for clients to be able to share their screen or send files (especially when working on applications or job search)
  • A lot of interviews take place over a video call and using this kind of software can build familiarity
  • The appointment can be recorded for a client to rewatch later if that’s helpful (particularly helpful to review performance if we’re doing a mock interview).
  • Clients can more flexibly reschedule as we’re not working around venue availability.
  • Live transcription (auto captions) are available, which can be a useful aid for those with hearing impairment or English as a second language.
  • It’s easier for many people to fit into their day as you don’t need to travel!

Common topics for career consultations include:

  • Exploring options and choices
  • Deciding whether to make a career change
  • Figuring out what might suit you or what you’re looking for
  • Finding a way forward around obstacles or setbacks
  • Creating a job hunting strategy
  • Overcoming a lack of motivation
  • Improving the effectiveness of applications
  • Building an effective LinkedIn profile
  • Mock interviews and interview practice
  • Overcoming interview nerves

Each appointment is entirely personalised: we start by discussing what’s going on for you and agree an agenda together for the appointment and what we want to get out of it.

You played a key part in helping me structure and highlight my strengths in my CV and application, giving me the confidence I needed just at the right time. Thanks so much, and I will be sure to recommend you (and come back to you!)
