Mid-career development is the link between one's past experiences and one's future potential. Therefore, the concepts of professional quality and quantity are highly relevant when dealing with the mid-career aspirations of those professionals who work in the public sector. Advocacy Given that individual and fixed term contracts are a fact of life, it is important for those in mid-career to recognise and understand the nature of the job market and of its fickleness. As more graduates enter the work force so too is there an increase in the credential expectations of employers in respect to current and prospective employees. True professional leadership comes from experience and wisdom gained over a significant period of time.
Experienced professionals are their own best advocates.
The company, therefore, would like to assist them in harnessing, developing and augmenting such advocacy. Credentials Godfrey Pohatu, as well as being a former university lecturer, has higher qualifications in Maori Studies and Education. The idea for such a service was developed out of Godfrey's own experiences, particularly in light of his time as an academic manager in a large university. In 1997, his former employer shed itself of over 90 mainly academic staff in an effort to save millions in salaries. In doing so, the organisation 'restructured' its age cohort profiles in one major swoop.
