At Human-ByDesign we provide 1-2-1 career transition coaching.

If your strategy is to send out multiple CV’s and hope for the best, then, even if you have the best LinkedIn profile, it’s not always a guarantee of success. We call that the ‘spray and pray’ approach and while it might be tempting to send out as many CV’s as soon as possible, it is not usually the most affective strategy.

Our approach is to help you gain CLARITY on the next job that is the ‘Right-Fit’ for you.

We begin by supporting you to first create a VISION for your future based on a deep insight and understanding of your strengths, passions and work preferences.

A good career coach that cares about you, will not rush the process, they will take the time to identify your best options.

Fiona CaseyBusiness coach

I found the reports very helpful on two counts. It highlighted some options not previously considered, one which is now a serious option going forward. On the second count, it reinforced that the choice of career was indeed the right one. The reports provided new ideas and reassurance, both of which were welcome.
