welcome to the communities and the profession.

The best place to start is the professional map on this site. That will guide you through the thought process and identify the key skills you should develop.

Btw Field Consultant is not a term I am hugely familiar with. Is it a HR BP you are looking at?

In reply to Keith:

Hello Keith thank you for your reply.

I would like to travel and spend time helping different companies implement strategies, then move on to another company/ project. Perhaps one day working solo.

Does this have a name?

Kind regards,

Jenny.

In reply to Jenny:

Interim - and there are people who specialise in interim positions, perhaps because they can be very goal focused.

In reply to Elizabeth Divver:

In addition (and a generalisation) but generally Interims are qualified and experienced a step or two over the level necessary for the current assignment. People like to hire people who have been there and done that before and probably done more. So its not unusual for people to move into Interim positions later in their careers and being able to draw on a wealth of successful experience.

Particularly true given your desire to work in the strategy field

Of course many people work as FTCs at lower level and call themselves interim's but for me (and no offence meant) thats really a different role.

In reply to Keith:

That's a very important point. If you hire an interim, you expect them to to become effective virtually straight away and perform at a high level throughout.
