Preparing for non-political public life
Life as an elected representative provides fantastic preparation for other careers that feed into the operation and delivery of government programmes. These can come through membership of non-governmental organisations – agencies, regulators, watchdogs, and advisory bodies.
Those who have served in or stood for elected office will have gained key transferable skills and experience, and developed their networks through joining these organisations.
How can I take the first step? What will the application process look like? How can I write my CV? What should I say in my interviews? College Green Group is here to help you navigate all of these hurdles.
We begin at the most important point – you. Conducting a ‘review of you’, we will work with you to prise out your relevant experience and qualities to build your profile for a specific role and help your application stand out.
College Green Group can assist you in drafting your application for a role, help curate and elevate your CV and cover letter. In addition, our team will provide you with briefs and research on the organisation and role, develop and refine your interview techniques through preparation, and present you with key, relevant networking opportunities.
This is all about telling the story of you – showcasing and championing your character and experience – as you seek to continue to play your part in public life.
