Your Career Change

You have experienced success in your career and now you are open to considering something new.

Whether you are making a relatively subtle change such as moving your current function into a new industry, or dramatically altering the course of your professional direction, Essex can help you make that change successfully. Some clients begin their Essex program knowing what they want that new opportunity to be.  Others have only a sense that they want to explore something fresh and exciting.  Essex has guided hundreds of executives through the process of uncovering and evaluating new options for career change – and then turning those options into real opportunities.

Starting with our comprehensive assessment process, supported by our experienced career assessment partners, we work with you to identify the right kinds of endeavors that best fit your professional strengths, passions, and aspirations. Once you identify your potential options, we develop a strategy for exploring your interests and assess the feasibility of landing a role in a particular environment. We then partner with you to create a marketing message that effectively communicates your past skills and accomplishments in the context of your new career path, helping to positively set you apart from your competitors.

We also establish a search strategy that effectively leverages your contacts and ours, including an extensive network of business contacts and former Essex clients. Throughout the entire process, you will have access to an outstanding team of administrative staff including a full time research professional who can help you garner information on industries, organizations, and people.

At Essex Partners, we offer the support you need on your new pathway to professional satisfaction and success.

We can also advise you on executive roles, board seats, entrepreneurship, and beyond career.
