New Year always feels like a good time to start thinking about making some positive life changes.
And if you want to turn a plan into something that actually happens, especially if it’s a job move you’re looking for, then having the right support can make a massive difference, which is where Career Connect can help.
Liverpool-based Career Connect is re-launching its ConnectMyCareer service in 2023 to help people make the most of opportunities whether they want to progress their careers, get back into work after a break or redundancy, or take a whole new direction.
Its online platform is a one-stop shop, getting job hunters’ CVs into shape and their interview skills spot-on.
The ConnectMyCareer service also offers online one-to-one sessions with a highly trained careers adviser so you can get tailored support whether you want to assess your skills, rewrite your CV or practice your interview technique.
Just choose whichever option works best for you – online platform only, personal online sessions with a career coach, or both.
At The platform includes using cutting edge AI technology so they have a chance to practice before the all-important interview stage with a potential employer.
