Has anyone used a career consultancy? If so, what was your experience like?

[Gudgeon]

I'm thinking about moving jobs after 10 years in the same role with the same organisation.

I came across these people www.careerenergy.co.uk/ while browsing earlier. Has anyone used them, or another career consultancy and if so what did you think?

No idea, but this site is quite useful....
www.careershifters.org

Do you know someone who has used them, Blackduck?

[Blackduck]

Gudgeon - nope, but I'm about to . going to try one of the workshops as I have hit a brick wall and need some input. Both these sites were mentioned in an article in The Independent a month or so ago - and the feedback was good...

[Gudgeon]

Ah, okay!

Well, I'm going to go to a free introductory meeting at careerenergy, so shall we keep each other posted on how we get on?

What field are you in, if you don't mind me asking? I'm in law.

[Blackduck]

G, yeap lets try to keep in touch and update each other. I'm in IT (funny I thought about Law ).....

[Gudgeon]

Right. I'm trying to tee up something for 20 September, shall report back...

I will look at the careershifters website, as well.

[Blackduck]

do you want to CAT me?

[Gudgeon]

Yes, will do!
