Re:
Lifetime Licence Offer
Dear
Colleague
It
is tremendously helpful to clients or students if they receive career
support resources customised to their needs and the local context.
Resources that back up any group or individual work
you do with them.
Resources that include clear
processes, effective assessment tools, tips, and vital "how to"
information. You
just don't have time to tell them everything they need to know!
The
problem
is that developing these resources
for your clients or students can be a long,
arduous process
which keeps
you away from what you really need to be doing.
Let
me explain how I can help.
Several years ago when I decided to cut back on my career consulting
work with
my employer in the corporate sector and set up my own career
counselling and job search coaching service I also needed to develop my
own
resources. With a Masters degree in Career Guidance and years of
experience as a consultant plus as a freelance journalist I thought it
would be
fairly
easy.
So I set out to create the ideal Career
Direction program and a Job
Search
program specifically for Australia.
What I
found... and you
may relate to this… was that an expected few
weeks work turned
out to be many months
of research and over 650 hours
in
front of the computer! This was
time when I couldn't deliver
services
or generate revenues. And my friends thought I’d left the
country!
I tried to find pre-existing
suitable resources which I could licence and then adapt
to my needs. What I found was that nobody was offering remotely
affordable comprehensive resources I could "make my own" and
customise. I
also discovered that the available published books, manuals and
assessment
tools were too inflexible. I couldn't adapt them to my client group or
my own approach. They also quickly became expensive on a per client
basis.
So
I decided I had no choice but to create my own complete system. For
over 3 years I developed, tested and refined my resources.
The
result is that feedback from colleagues indicates I now
have one of the leading career system packages of its
type in Australia.
Career
Practitioner
feedback:
“I had spent
quite a bit of time
developing a
number
of tools and materials myself and was pleased to see your material was both
comprehensive and complementary
to what I had
developed.
The manuals
were well
laid out, full of comprehensive
material and easy
to customise. I
really
appreciated all the extras that were thrown in!
To
anybody thinking of purchasing these manuals I’m sure
you’ll find they are well worth
every cent.
I found the
Career Pro Resources to
be incredible value.”
Sean Reddell -

Blaze
Unlimited, Career Coaching and HR
Consultancy

"Drawing
on years of research and experience, and inviting contributions from
other experienced career practitioners, Mitch Lawrie has compiled a high-quality,
comprehensive resource for Australian career practitioners.
Speaking
as an individual in private practice, I
only wish this had been available when I was starting out!
It would have saved me
countless hours of time (and money)
compiling client manuals and resource materials.
The
fact that a practitioner can customise the materials in Career Pro to
suit their own style and practice is a distinct
advantage.
Mitch
is to be commended in taking this initiative
to help raise the standard of information-sharing and professional
support across the career
profession."
Suzanne
Davidson MAICD, AACC - Director, Life Artistry TM
www.lifeartistry.com.au
"CAREER
PRO caught
my
attention in June this year and has been a welcome addition to my
resources, as
a career practitioner in private practice.
Rather
than being
just
another career book or stand alone assessment it provides a
comprehensive, flexible system
of career resources
with unlimited
reproduction rights
for use
with your clients or students.
In
developing my
own
resources over the years, it’s evident that a
lot
of work and
time has gone
into the development of the Career Pro package.
I
haven’t used
every resource in my practice,
but have been impressed by
what has been made available."

The
CAREER PRO resources
have also proven
effective with hundreds of
individual clients of all ages and backgrounds as well as in workshops
I have run in the university, corporate and Job Services Australia
sectors.
Workshop
participant feedback:
“Very in-depth,
practical tips and a genuine, obvious passion
for career
counselling
and helping others. I’m glad I took the time to
attend.”
Jaye
Thomas
“Mitch
has adopted a comprehensive,
holistic approach to
clarifying a suitable
career direction. He also provides highly useful material for later
re-evaluation and has many innovative
suggestions
to add value to the
overall process.”
Claire
Tune
“It
covered everything! The course
was what I expected and more.
Excellent
manuals, thorough, well
organised, and great tips
for
success.”

Now
I have decided to
share my programs with
other career professionals.
WHY CAREER PRO IS
UNIQUE!
Rather
than wasting time developing your own resources you get a lifetime
licence allowing you to put your organisation's name on a leading-edge
career
assessment
& development program
plus a powerful job
search program.
Your benefits
include:
 Unlimited
lifetime reproduction rights for
use with your clients - just
print as many as you need or make it available via a non-public website!
The
flexibility
of being able to customise,
pick and choose the components
and
exercises that suit your client group and operating circumstances
Your
organisation's name on the cover
Your
name listed as one of
the authors (I'm sure you'll add
something to it... we career
professionals like to adapt and personalise our materials!)
Access
to powerful online personality
assessments with
instructional audio MP3 and
debriefing resources
(five factor model, Jung typology, & interest profiler)
Access
to a PDF creator
so you can convert your customised
resources from MS
Word to PDFs at no cost - ideal for emailing clients the Pre-Session
Workbook
Everything you need to work with individual
clients or even group
workshops
Marketing
materials and implementation
support - email or call me
anytime
A
saving
of
hundreds
of hours of your program development time
(= money!)
More
savings! - You no
longer need to
purchase printed career resources for each client –
you produce what you need when
you need it!
What
I am offering is NOT
just another
career book but
rather a flexible resource package
that you are free to
customise to suit YOUR needs.
Some career
professionals just change a few
things, like the organisation
name and the contact details. However, if you choose to you
can add or delete
as much as you like so as to
match your unique operating
circumstances and client group.
Because the
package is so adaptable these
resources can
be customised to suit private career counsellors and
consultants, life coaches,
corporate HR, outplacement providers, schools, TAFEs,
universities and job
network providers.
WHAT
THE PROGRAMS COVER
There
are 2 major areas of need
that people experience with their career:
1.
What direction should I go with my career… and life? (The
Complete Career Direction Guide)
2.
How can I get a suitable job fast? (The
Complete Job Search Guide & Toolkit)
CAREER
PRO helps
people focus on their priority need area. For people who are
considering further studies or really want to focus on their
career-life direction then the Career Direction Guide and Workbook
provides a comprehensive and clear 7-step process for
discovering their own answers based on a firm foundation of career
development theory and practical experience.
For
people who have decided their career direction or need to immediately
manage a job
search/career transition then there is the Job Search Guide
and Toolkit. It provides 7 powerful job search strategies, practical
state-of-the-art advice and tips on job searches that really work
in Australia today.
The Toolkit then backs this up
with a wide range of invaluable resources, resume and letter samples
and further
specific advice.
Let me give you some more detail
here...
THE
COMPLETE CAREER
DIRECTION GUIDE & WORKBOOK
 |
With
the changes in today’s world of work it is essential for our
clients to become more aware and skilled in managing our careers.
This
stimulating resource will provide insights and practical assistance to
equip your clients to become active
creators of their future rather
than just another cog in the economic system… or a discarded
part.
An
important feature of this Guide is that it provides access and
debriefing materials for a powerful online Five
Factor Model
personality
assessment (a version of the NEO) as
well as an Interest
Profiler and a Jung Typology assessment. The NEO is very useful for
improving
client self-awareness and the practitioner’s understanding of
the client’s potential strengths and weaknesses. These
resources are self-scoring and free of charge for unlimited use. |

CURRENT SPECIAL
OFFER
When
I was with a previous career consulting employer we quoted over $10,000
to provide other start-up consultants with similar resources, systems
and support.
If
you attempted to develop similar materials in-house the
costs in staff hours would also be far higher. The bare minimum time
needed to produce anything beginning to approach these resources
(without the bonus resources!) would be eight weeks = 200
hours
x $35/hour = $7000!
It is, however, my aim to make
these resources accessible to as many organisations as possible.
Remember
that these are lifetime unlimited reproduction licences so that your
cost per
client or student is far less than if you purchased individual hard
copy resources.

Dear
Mitch,
I recently purchased your Career Pro Programme on payment plan.
Just wanted to say that I have had a quick look through most of the
information and must say I am extremely happy with my purchase.
Already a Job Search Trainer with a job network here in Townsville, I
am also studying Career Counselling and Assessment in order to move
into my own business of training and career counselling.
The information in the Guides is fantastic, and, more importantly,
Australian!! and I have no hesitation in referring people to
your
site to perhaps purchase your programmes.
I will certainly email you with any questions I may have in the future,
in connection with working my own business!!
Thank you so much for making this information available in one package!!
Yours truly,
Shirley Buttery
Job Search Trainer - Job Network, Townsville

Hi
Mitch
As
a personal and career counsellor I have found the information to be
invaluable.
The pre session work book is really beneficial for my clients and also
for me!
