STARTING YOUR JOURNEY - Career Planning
Don't be fed up, stuck in a rut or frustrated with your job, do something amazing and put a career plan together. BlueBean offer a Career Planning service that helps you to understand yourself, your skills and what actions you need to take in order to point you in the right direction to your first job or make your next career move.
EVERYONE'S GOT TALENT - Skills & Behaviours / USP
With employers looking for people who have the right values and attitudes and who can add value to their business, it's important that you know what your core skills and behaviours are.
Just like products have to be marketed to consumers, people have to market themselves to employers. Known as a personal branding or a value-added statement, your Unique Selling Point (USP) is a succinct, one sentence description who you are, your biggest strength and the major benefit an employer will derive from this strength.
BLOW YOUR OWN TRUMPET - Self-Marketing / Curriculum Vitae
Self-Marketing is a key job-seeking skill which will help you stand out in a competitive job market. Every interaction you have could lead to a job so it is important to treat everyone you speak to as someone who could provide you with employment opportunities.
An effective CV is a crucial document which will increase your chances of being selected for an interview. BlueBean will evaluate the content and layout of your current CV and offer guidance on how it could be improved. What is key to remember is the person reading your CV doesn't know you.
TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR CAREER - Interviewing Skills / Personal Goal Setting
BlueBean will help you to prepare for all that an interview entails, we will offer practical advice on:
> Interview preparation
> How to present yourself
> Typical interview questions
> Different types / formats of interviews
> Interview do's and don'ts
This will help you gain confidence and experience in interview situations, and BlueBean offer a mock interview providing feedback on your performance.

Getting an employer to actually look at your CV takes some doing, after all yours is just one of many they have to sift through. That's why a lot of employers use a bit of software called ATS (Applicant Tracking System) which comes in various forms. This allows employers to 'weed' out the CV's that aren't aligned to the JD and reduce the applications down to a credible size to review. Bluebean formatted CV's have a much higher chance of getting through the ATS software so your CV will actually get looked at by a human being, making an interview a distinct possibility. Don't be tempted to put a 'wacky' CV together in the hope that it catches the attention of an employer, in most cases it simply won't work. These CV's as wacky as they may seem would't have a chance of getting through the ATS system, can't think why not really!!!!

Work isn’t the only thing that influences happiness, but let's face it it’s where you spend a big chunk of your life.

So, what kind of job would make you happiest? Have a go at putting a tick against the one's out of this list that you resonate with.

Careers advice is as much about listening as it is about mapping out a pathway, its amazing what can come from a chat that you weren't expecting. Many times I sit with clients and just listen to their situations and suddenly a solution comes to mind and transforms the meeting.
