Your letter of instruction with a brief is sent via email – this usually outlines a client’s history (with dates), an existing or projected career, or an expected path. This comes with numerous market, vocational and/or remuneration questions requiring opinion.
I’m happy to discuss or provide a sample guide of questions I get asked regularly.
From that, a job analysis of that career is completed for reporting. This involves market data collection, industry opinions, current and projected salaries and employment snapshots, as well any expected future trajectory.
A report is developed and sent back, usually within 2 weeks of contact.
Client Interviews
Client interviews are not always required, and if this is the case, reports can be succesfully completed from the supplied brief. However, when a client interview is required, it is arranged at a convenient time, day and place. One and half hours is a general rule of thumb for a session’s length.
In all cases, firms will include instruction questions to be considered during the session. The report will address those questions, and add any wider session insights. These can be client comments and/or obseravtional opinions based on the client’s presenting physical or mental capabilities to perform a specific role. Vocational interventions and testing may be appropriately administered.
