Your résumé records where you have been. Your Career Plan builds the case for where you should go next: the roles, mandates and organisational environments in which your strengths and experience can create the most value.
Built on RutherfordINTEL™ assessment evidence, your professional history and your objectives, the Plan translates insight into a personalised strategy for positioning, development and career decisions.
It is prepared around your individual profile, career evidence and goals, with a three-year perspective that remains useful whether you are actively seeking a move or successfully employed.
Know Your Strengths. Make Your Case. Choose Your Direction.
Understand Your Professional Value
Translate natural strengths into language employers understand, connecting behavioural evidence with documented accomplishments and the problems you solve.
Identify Better-Fit Mandates
Focus on roles and environments where your capabilities, experience and objectives align. Recognise the paths that may be less suited to your strengths.
Build a Three-Year Strategy
Establish priorities for positioning, development and the mandates you pursue, so each next step contributes to a longer-term professional direction.
Prepare for the Right Conversation
Develop an evidence-based career thesis that can inform discussions with employers, recruiters and advisers. Selected material can be adapted for a specific opportunity.
A Career Strategy You Can Put to Work
- Your professional thesis. An executive conclusion explaining your distinctive value and the direction supported by your evidence.
- Your natural strengths and career evidence. An interpretation of your behavioural profile, connected with accomplishments and your approach to delivering results.
- Your best-fit roles and environments. Recommended positioning, relevant mandates and paths to approach with caution.
- Your three-year positioning strategy. A forward roadmap covering career priorities, development needs and the moves that support your objectives.
The Assessment and the Plan are separate services. The Career Plan is a premium service and is not included with the USD $100 RutherfordINTEL™ Assessment. Scope, eligibility and fees are agreed before preparation.
