Current Question:
Current Question The paradox of the career professional's identity
People who know me will laugh, but I had to ask the question of this particular discussion group: What do you call yourself as an independent career professional and do you feel your customers understand your vocational moniker?

I suspect the time is long overdue to get our name right and have a consistent professional identity that the public understand. And this needs to bridge the independent and public service sectors. Policy spends so little time truly engaging with people. Next I'll get into the semantics that suffocate all of us, customers and practitioners alike!!

Perhaps we should gain a charter and become chartered career practitioners. That would undoubtedly improve the standing of this profession
