Vocational Assessments
Whether you are at the start of your career or you are decades into it, many people reach a point where they think to themselves “where am I heading, and what do I want to be when I grow up?” If this sounds familiar, then vocational assessment is something to consider.
Vocational assessment is a process whereby a client participates in one or more questionnaires, activities, discussions and/or assignments to help gain clarity. The role of a coach is to help select effective and appropriate assessment tools and guide discussion about the results to enable the client to come to their own decisions.
Vocational assessment takes into consideration skills, interests, values, aptitudes and more.
If you are wondering what to pursue next, vocational assessment could be an asset to you.
Resume Development
In my years in HR, I have seen thousands of resumes. There is no ‘best’ way to write a resume. Each one needs to be tailored to the role for which you wish to apply.
If you aren’t sure how to customise your resume, you have a resume that is out of date, or you are using a resume that is not getting you interviews, it’s time to get some help.
How can someone else write your resume for you? For starters, they can’t. They write it WITH you. That means you’ll have a meeting with your resume writer, who will ask you targeted questions. This may be done in person, over the phone, via Skype or Zoom, in a written questionnaire or a combination of the above.
Different layouts are appropriate for different industries, and there are a number of ways a professional can make your resume stand out for the right reasons. *All BSR documents are developed using the appropriate document size and spelling for the country of application.

Social Media Development
In many industries, social media is a driving force in recruitment. A social media presence is, if not expected, highly desirable.
Getting started with LinkedIn is a quick and easy way to ensure that you are visible, and potential employers can get a deeper understanding of who you are and what you bring to the team.
Coaching can involve working with you to make the most of LinkedIn during job search, application processes and networking.
Beyond a basic profile, we can discuss industry-specific boosts and advanced functionality.
Additionally, social media coaching can help determine whether there are any red flags with your name on them travelling through cyberspace, and cover how to manage your image.
