Editor's Notes

  • #3 90% is information sharing we will be talking to you later about the services we offer - no need to buy
  • #4 I will leave plenty of time later for questions
  • #5 I've been in executive search for 30 years 13 of those years with H&S where I held various senior leadership roles As Founder / Director I want to know how people are using our service and what we can do better. Over the past year I have spoken to over 300 senior executive members of Not Actively Looking. That's why we launched the Career Story in 2019
  • #6 The CV was invented in the 1950s. We are in 2020 - need a more effective way to communicate who we are. A verbal narrative that is clear, crisp and concise. The Career Story has to have a purpose. For me it's all about developing a narrative that will make you stand out, bring out your unique strengths and capabilities, and ultimately help you get your next role faster
  • #7 CLARITY - sharpening your personal brand so that you can be more effective at interviews - a narrative to properly get your message across in a variety of situations - help you to build a simple, effective CV and LinkedIn profile which reflect the key elements of your personal brand - also a tool to help you reflect on where you are and what the next stage of your career should look like
