How We're Different
All our coaches have a background in professional recruitment consultancy or human resources. This gives our clients unique advantages. Our coaching and counselling techniques are underpinned by strong commercial realities and our own entrepreneurial experience.
- We provide career coaching to individuals and also advise companies on their recruitment techniques. We understand the needs and challenges from both points of view.
- We know how to build relationships with recruiters and head-hunters and how candidates can differentiate themselves. Our expertise is in building careers and navigating the job market.
- We understand how companies should sell their business opportunities to potential employees and how to recruit and retain the best people in a competitive marketplace.
- We know how to write a decent CV that gets you interviews and how to do well at those interviews. We support and encourage our clients at every step of the process.
"This is a highly competitive job market and organisations expect senior candidates to have first class career management skills. For instance - evidence of sensible decision making, a focused career plan, an achievement-orientated CV and well-mastered interview techniques. It pays to invest in an impartial, expert perspective to cultivate these and that's why we recommend Second Careers."
"Zena came highly recommended to me as someone who is an expert in her field, and someone who could offer a more bespoke outplacement service than some of the larger providers which was why I chose her. From the outset Zena was very personable, professional and very knowledgeable about the recruitment market. She was very flexible, and responsive and worked with me efficently and effectively to secure my next role. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Zena."
