Banking, Finance & Insurance

The banking, investment and financial services sectors have been severely shaken over the past couple of years. Organisations like RBS, Lloyds TSB and Northern Rock are still coming to terms with state stakeholding in their businesses. Although the City recruitment market is picking up major organisations remain cautious and are still looking at ways to cut costs. Regulation is being strengthened and many banks and financial institutions are putting more resources into compliance and risk management.

In the 21st century global economy it is important that you are clear on how to manage your career and that you have your own longer term plan rather than adopting a wait and see approach. Otherwise you will be at the mercy of an increasingly changing and uncertain employment market 

This may be a good opportunity for you to find out what alternative careers are open to you and to take control over your future direction.

"Several recruitment agencies had suggested that I meet with them. However I was concerned that they would be either unable or unwilling to provide objective, impartial advice. Additionally, I didn't want them to start sending off my CV before I was focussed and knew exactly what I wanted myself. That's what my CareerBalance consultant helped me to do."
