Is your career a noun or a verb?

CAREER n. an occupation undertaken for a significant period of a person's life, usually with opportunities for progress.

CAREER v. move swiftly and in an uncontrolled way in a specified (or unspecified) direction.

Making a career change can be one of the most daunting decisions you make in your life.

Accepting that you have either made a mistake in your career choice or that the rug has been pulled out from under what you thought was a safe career path is a difficult realisation to come to.

Fortify's approach to career transition is highly structured and the approach that we take will be determined by your needs. A 'one size fits all' method will not pay dividends in what is one of the most crucial decisions you will ever make. Three maxims underpin our approach to career management:

Get short-listed.

Chance favours the prepared mind.

Remember at the end of the day - it's only a job.

So, whether the change is as a result of a redundancy, a significant drop in your job satisfaction or a dramatic change in your sector, give us a call; we will be happy to listen to your circumstances and discuss your needs for your future career in total confidence.
