Embarking on a new career is as exciting as it is daunting but that’s natural.  However, ensuring you do everything right can also leave you confused and that is where expert mentoring from Platinum Brand Communications can help. 

Career development is crucial if you want to achieve your goals and ambitions and with a competitive job market out there, you need to ensure you set yourself apart. It has been found that those who choose to use a mentor over opting to go it alone are more likely to find greater success.

Interview Assistance

For many, the interview process is one of the biggest barriers that they have to overcome.  However, mentoring and assistance with interview preparation can have a significant impact on the outcome. With the right guidance, you’ll be able to prepare for questions, respond in the right way and conduct yourself in a way that leaves a lasting impression. Whether it’s creating the right preparation notes, keeping calm and having confidence, every single element of mentoring around interview preparation will help you to increase your chances of landing that dream role.

CV Optimisation

Your CV will be the very first thing that employers see. It is here that they learn about you, who you are, what you have achieved and what you want to achieve. Too short and it simply won’t sell your skills and too long will only see it overlooked. What we aim to offer is a CV writing optimisation service that helps you streamline your CV, include all of the relevant information and capture the attention of employers. Your CV is your ticket to your interview and if you want to benefit from the best career development opportunities, it pays to learn all about creating a CV that helps you cut through the crowd and stand out.

Getting the Job Search Right

The job search is the beginning of the process but one that you have to have confidence in doing. Too many people believe that they are not suitable for specific roles so overlook them when in actual fact, they have just as much right to go for them as anyone else. With professional mentoring, we can help you to identify those jobs that are the perfect fit for you, giving you the confidence to apply for those roles that you have once overlooked.

Why Mentoring Works

Often, progressing your career can feel like a lonely journey but there is an abundance of help available out there. Mentoring, in particular, can help with identifying SMART goals and help you to identify your strengths and weaknesses when it comes to searching for jobs. While many believe career progression begins when you start your first job, we believe it begins before that because without applying for the right jobs, you won’t land the right roles.

Through professional insight and experience, mentoring provides a non-judgemental approach to preparing you for the world of employment while helping you to take those next steps in your career. Mentoring and career training go hand in hand so if you want to continue progressing and reaching your potential, it is worth understanding the many benefits that come with mentoring.
