Your Transferable Skills and New Career Options

Unsettled in Your Career? Afraid to move?

You may dream of making a career change but are not sure if you have the right skills, personal qualities or commitment to succeed.

CareerBalance can help you answer these questions by examining your key strengths. We look at you interpersonal, organisational, problem solving and creative skills, as well as teamworking and leadership abilities. At the same time we’ll point out opportunities and organisations which will be a good match for you – specific roles in organisations across different sectors. These cover senior executive opportunities all the way through to new graduate roles.

We’ll give you objective guidance on your potential and where to begin to change direction.  We look at the evidence – from your education, from your career to date and your activities outside work – to see what you can achieve when you are happy and performing at your best. These give us important clues as to what is possible for you, and how you can progress in the direction you want.

We take a long-term view, mapping out the steps you need to take whilst taking account of practical considerations (finances, dependents, obstacles). For example we may recommend that you move to a role in another sector which although not ideal, will position you well for a further career move.

We take a cautious approach, realizing that you have built up qualifications, skills and expertise which have value in the job market. These should not be lightly discarded. A career change is not for everyone, and we’ll be honest with you on the risks and rewards which are possible.
