CAREER ADVICE
Career Advice is a vital part of the service that we provide at FCA. Our service is specifically designed to help those wishing to embark on a new career in Financial Services or to make career path changes. Our consultants at FCA have established city careers and in-depth knowledge of many functions in Financial Services. Knowing how the industry works and what the jobs entail are most important in finding the right career path. FCA can help you by suggesting roles suited to your skill set and will also be able to give you first hand knowledge of and specialist advice on many career paths. Skills Analysis can help you identify the ideal position to suit your abilities and attributes. FCA can assist you in your search to find a city career by helping you to objectively analyse your skills.
The advice and assessment can be given at a face to face meeting (preferable for those in or around London) or via e-mail following phone/e-mail correspondence.
As part of your preparation for further career development you may also want to consider executive coaching as provided by New Perspectives, one of our partner organisations (click the logo to link to their site).

After discussion with you and verification of all aspects of your education, work experience and important skills and attributes, if requested, FCA will prepare your CV in a format that is suited to the Financial Services Industry.
