The Career Clarity Assessment matches you to one of nine career profiles across 13 questions, in about five minutes, and is built around your next move rather than just describing where you are. If you'd like even deeper guidance, you can choose to unlock a more comprehensive personalised report.

It can be completed anytime from your computer, tablet or mobile phone.

That depends on your specific situation — and that's exactly what The Career Clarity Assessment and Career Edit session are designed to help you work out. Before making a decision you can't easily undo, it's worth taking a few minutes with the Career Clarity Assessment to get clear on what's really driving the feeling.

Burnout often feels like exhaustion, cynicism or a sense that nothing at work matters anymore. But it can be hard to tell whether it's burnout or simply being in the wrong role. The Career Clarity Assessment is designed to help you distinguish between the two.

The Career Edit Session™ ($129 NZD) is one private 45-minute Zoom consultation with Emma Allen. You get an honest, experienced perspective on where you are, a clear view of your options, and a set of practical next steps agreed before the session ends. No preparation is needed. If you'd like, you can answer three optional questions when you book: your biggest career question right now, what you'd most like to get out of the conversation, and anything useful Emma should know beforehand.

Career coaching is worth it when you need an experienced, independent perspective on a decision you've been avoiding or overthinking. One clear decision can save months of wasted applications, stress and lost income. Most people say the clarity is worth far more than the session cost.

Not knowing is exactly the right place to start. The Career Edit is designed for people who feel unclear or overwhelmed by options. The Career Clarity Assessment helps identify what's really holding you back — and where to focus first.

The Career Edit Session™ is NZD $129 for one private 45-minute consultation. You do not need an assessment first: the free Career Clarity Check-In is an optional starting point, the $29 Career Clarity Report is optional extra depth, and bookings can be rescheduled or cancelled up to 48 hours before your appointment. Navigating redundancy? The same consultation covers it. Once you know your direction, standalone execution support: CV Writing, LinkedIn Makeover and Interview Coaching is available separately.

All sessions are delivered via Zoom, so you can work with Emma from anywhere in New Zealand — or internationally by arrangement. You don't need to be in Auckland.

The Career Clarity Report ($29 NZD) is your full written stay-or-go verdict, generated from your answers to the Career Clarity Assessment. It covers where you actually sit right now, the specific factors driving that result, and what to do next — matched to your situation rather than generic advice. It's delivered as a PDF straight to your inbox, usually within minutes, and your answers and report stay completely confidential.

Yes. Your assessment answers are never shared with your employer, a recruiter, or any other third party. See our privacy policy for full details on what we collect and how it's handled.

There is no statutory redundancy pay in New Zealand. Whether you receive compensation depends on what is written in your employment agreement, and what your employer offers. Read your agreement before you agree to anything, and get advice from an employment lawyer or your union if the process or the offer looks wrong.

Briefly and without defending it. State that the role was disestablished in a restructure, note anything factual about scale (a whole team, a whole function), and move on to what you are looking for next. Interviewers see restructures constantly. It is far more common than candidates assume.

It depends entirely on your financial runway and how long your target roles typically take to secure in the current market. It is a maths question before it is a pride question, and it is worth doing the maths properly before deciding either way.
