C2
London-based career development / job application / interview coaching service
"C2 is a specialised career consultancy for people at any stage in their careers. We work with people from entry to retirement. C2 is part of The Careers Group, University of London and has been in business for nine years, during which we have helped over 4000 people.
Our customers come from all backgrounds but many of the people we help are 5-10 years into a professional career (usually teaching, law, or accountancy) and want to consider alternatives.
Our consultants come from a variety of backgrounds. We have all made career changes ourselves. Most - but not all - of us have HR and recruitment experience, and we all have professional qualifications in career guidance. We also work with a variety of organisations – from Shell to the NHS.
Our coaching is tailored to meet each customer’s unique needs. What you’ll get from us isn’t like the careers advice you might have had at school or university. Most of our customers have plenty of experience and some are incredibly successful in their line of work – they don’t usually need “advice”."
