For the executive wishing to secure top line vacancies the service will prove to be of immeasurable value. The service is however targeted at those in the industry wishing to progress their careers.

Please note; unlike all other services provided by Automotive Employment NZ Ltd to job seekers, the Career Mentoring system is not a free service. Career Mentoring is designed to provide a path way for employees to develop their career. A written plan will be developed with the employee with your consultant providing a mentoring service over a pre-determined period.

Career Mentoring is a new initiative from Automotive Employment NZ Ltd The company recognises that 16 years specific involvement in the automotive recruitment industry in New Zealand has a value employees in the motor industry. In past years our focus has been on finding candidates to fill vacancies which have a pre-determined "person specification" provided by the employer. As the employer has paid the recruitment fee, it is the employer who is the client of Automotive Employment NZ, not the candidate. Career Mentoring is a way of Automotive Employment NZ helping candidates who wish to develop their career, not just change employment. The goal is that we work with the candidate over the course of your career to achieve incremental gains in income and seniority which lead to the achievement of your career goals.

Many candidates take on training in a specific area and in some cases spend tens of thousands of dollars with little or no reward in terms of employment advancement. It is our goal to turn this around and work with candidates with a view to specifically changing this around. The benefit should prove highly valuable to the employee provided the incremental advancements that your consultant and yourself agree to, are achieved.

Please note this service is only available to candidates residing in New Zealand as it involves face to face consultation and planning.

Automotive Employment NZ Ltd is uniquely positioned to provide this service to mentoring students given our ability to both provide the career guidance you require and potentially also help you to secure the long term employment you need to progress.

Step One

The Automentor process starts by an employee registering their interest in developing their career.

Please fill out the following form:

Step Two

Your consultant from Automotive Employment NZ Ltd will contact you to make an appointment to discuss your career aspirations.

Step Three

Your consultant at Automotive Employment NZ Ltd will conduct an introductory consultation. Please note an hourly charge applies to this service with initial consultations taking approximately 1 hour. It is possible that with approval from the mentoring student, that mentoring may include some additional costs such as ability testing or similar, to help develop existing weaknesses. Such agreements if any will take place in the consultation and will be agreed by the student in writing if applicable.

Following up from your consultation your consultant will produce a "career workshop folder" this will include the following:

• A mutually agreed summary of your current employment circumstances
• A mutual agreement of the career goals you wish to achieve
• A mutual agreement on the path we choose to get there.

Step Four

• A follow up appointment if required will concentrate on the possible obstacles the mentoring student may encounter in achieving their career goals. These follow up activities will become part of the career workshop folder which will form the path to achieving your desired career goals.
• Identification of appropriate training and training providers to counter weaknesses
• Agreement on training if required
• A structured path to achieving your career goals such as securing employment in incremental steps
  Stress resilience assessments; it is a known fact that some employees have strong desires to enter management positions. Often these employees find when they achieve their desired goals that they cannot deal with the stresses associated with the position. We are able to identify a reduced capability of dealing with stress and discuss the impact this could have on you not achieving your career goals. Recognition of this hurdle can avoid failure further down the track as you recognise what it takes to reduce the impact of stress.
  

Step Five

Provided the mentoring student wishes to continue with their career development Automentor has an advanced programme to achieve this. Ongoing mentoring services if any, will be agreed on a case by case basis should this service be required. Advanced mentoring becomes applicable when there is a change in your personal circumstances or chosen career direction.
