Taking control of your own career has never been more important, and Personal Career Management provides the best solution

There are some who want a way to get back into employment following redundancy. There are some who want to take more control of their career, rather than leave it to others. For some it may be a major shift; for many it will be a realignment of past experience to future preferences. All of these scenarios can be dealt with at Personal Career Management.

Personal Career Management provides specialist career management and outplacement services to both individual and corporate clients. Clients include many high profile names such as ITN, Capital One and Travelex. In 2009 the company was approached to partner Telegraph Media Group and be its career expert for the recruitment website, telegraphjobs. As a leader in its field, Personal Career Management regularly appears on the BBC and radio, and in the national press providing commentary on career and work issues.

Quality service

There are many reasons why Personal Career Management stands out. It offers a unique and proven career management programme to help clients achieve their goals, and the company’s coaching team are all experienced and qualified in the field, with impressive individual track records. But above all it’s the care and attention to providing the very best in quality service that makes Personal Career Management such an impressive brand.

With its client base growing, Personal Career Management is expanding nationally through franchising, offering its franchisees a rewarding career and business.

One franchisee who came on board this year was Jane Garrard, a highly successful director with 19 years’ experience in the recruitment industry. Her interest in career development led her to consider moving into the career management industry. She was also attracted by the recessionproof nature of this sector, which contrasted with the vulnerability of the recruitment industry to economic downturns.

Says Jane: “Personal Career Management, as an organisation, really stood out for me - their focus on quality, professionalism and the level of genuine care and interest demonstrated to their clients. The thorough and in-depth nature of the programmes they offer are unique in the industry. This, coupled with their high profile brand and credibility, gave me real confidence and I wanted to be part of their exciting future."

Jane was impressed by the high level of support Personal Career Management provides - it offers help with the launch of a franchise, as well as ongoing marketing and client assistance. Franchisees receive over 70 hours of training,  covering practical and theoretical career coaching, which is run by one of the UK’s leading career management lecturers. “There is clearly a genuine interest in you running a successful business, and whatever challenge, support will always be there, which is reassuring in any new venture,” says Jane.

Strategy

Jane will soon be opening her first office in the Birmingham area and, looking ahead, says that the majority of her clients will be senior managers like those she has been used to dealing with on a daily basis in her previous role. “I’ll be helping them explore their options, make informed decisions about what next and support their job search strategy,” she says. “As well as working with those facing redundancy, I’ll also be coaching those individuals who want to proactively manage their careers - a trend we expect to grow.”

A Personal Career Management franchise fulfils franchisees’ requirements, both on a professional and personal level. As a franchisee you’re the owner of your own business, with the freedom to build your own financially rewarding business, but you’re not alone. You have the support of the central team at Personal Career Management, providing experience, advice, brand presence and a reputation second to none. What better way to enjoy your working day than helping others do the same?

Personal Career Management is seeking senior managers with a passion for working in this field to run their own offices in various locations across the UK , including Manchester, Milton Keynes, Leeds, Bristol, Scotland and Wales.
