Ready for Your Next Career Move? Don't Let the Market Decide Your Future!
Whether you've been made redundant, fear redundancy, feel trapped in a job you no longer enjoy, or have realised your career has taken you somewhere you never wanted to be...
...you don't have to leave your future to chance.
Strategic Career Mastery Live is a premium ongoing series, with each live building on the last
Designed for experienced professionals who know something has to change and are ready to take control of what comes next.
Have you ever been overlooked, underestimated or rejected because of someone else's assumptions about you?
Ageism, being overqualified, career gaps, background, experience or simply not fitting someone's idea of the ideal candidate. Career prejudice can take many forms.
But what can we do to overcome it?
This week's Strategic Career Mastermind is an open discussion, not a presentation.
We want to hear YOUR experiences of career prejudice, how it has affected you and, importantly, what you've done about it.
Together, we'll explore how we can challenge assumptions, overcome barriers and take greater control of our career opportunities.
Come prepared to share your stories, experiences and ideas. That's what makes a Mastermind valuable!
I’m James Foster, founder of Careers Matter.
Strategic Career Mastery is built on over 20 years of seeing how careers actually work — from inside the system, not from the outside looking in.
If you rely on the traditional career model, you’re limited by what’s visible, what’s available, and what someone else is prepared to offer you. That system was never designed to give you control.
SCM Live exists to help you step outside that model — to act deliberately, position what you do as valuable, and create opportunities rather than wait for them.
I can teach this because I’ve spent two decades working inside recruitment and career systems — hiring, advising, building teams, and seeing how decisions are really made.
SCM Live is where I share that perspective so you can take control of your own career direction.
“James brings clarity and direction that genuinely accelerate your career. His strategic advice and deep industry understanding helped me secure my senior leadership role with confidence. James doesn’t just help you land a job — he elevates your entire career journey.”
