Career intelligence. Human conversation. Practical progress.
Build a career story that takes you somewhere.
Summit helps you understand where you are, where you want to go and how to compete for the opportunities that can get you there. Start with a focused CV Rewrite or explore your career more deeply through a personalised Career Blueprint.
Clarity
Understand where you are, what you offer and where you could go next.
Narrative
Turn a collection of roles into a compelling and credible career story.
Commercial edge
Position yourself around what employers actually value and buy.
Progress
Identify the experience, skills and actions that will move you forward.
Introducing
Your Career Blueprint
Not another generic CV score. Your Blueprint brings together your experience, ambitions, market reality and personal story, helping you make better decisions and present yourself with purpose.
The two questions we hold together
What can you compete for now?
An honest assessment of the roles, employers and opportunities your current evidence supports.
What do you genuinely want next?
A more ambitious view of the work, impact and direction that could make your career feel meaningful.
Your career narrative
The thread connecting where you came from, where you are now and the direction you want to take.
Strengths and market position
The evidenced strengths that make you valuable, plus how employers are likely to see you today.
Target role gap analysis
A realistic comparison between your current profile and the skills and experience required for your goal.
Career wheel
A visual view of your strengths, weaker areas and blind spots against the roles you want to pursue.
CV development
A stronger general CV that remains honest, credible and adaptable to the opportunities you pursue.
Your Next Summit
Clear actions for the next 30 days, six months and two years, so insight turns into progress.
See the gaps
Turn career development into something you can see
The Career Wheel compares the evidence in your current profile with the capabilities required for your target role. It highlights genuine strengths, experience that is not being marketed effectively and the gaps you may need to close.
Those insights feed directly into your CV, interview narrative and development plan, without inventing experience or disguising the commercial reality.

Why Summit exists
Help more people build careers they are proud of
Kevin O'Shea has spent more than 25 years in recruitment, talent, training, development and coaching. He helps people understand how they are seen by employers, what makes hiring managers pay attention and why excellent candidates still get overlooked.
Summit combines that commercial perspective with coaching and technology, built on the belief that high quality career support should be accessible, not reserved for people who can afford expensive programmes.
We will give meaningful support away for free; we will charge where ongoing expertise and technology create deeper value; and we will never confuse encouragement with telling people what they want to hear.
For organisations

FAQ
Questions worth answering upfront
Is the Career Discovery Call really free?
Yes. The initial conversation and founding version of the Career Blueprint are complimentary while we develop the experience with our early members.
Why start with a conversation rather than a questionnaire?
Careers are rarely understood through forms alone. Conversation reveals motivation, confidence, turning points, hidden achievements and the reasons behind your choices; this is the material that creates a strong narrative.
Will you simply tell me what I want to hear?
No. The support is encouraging, but commercially realistic. We help you see your strengths clearly while being honest about gaps, market expectations and what will make you more competitive.
Is Summit only for lawyers?
Summit begins with deep expertise in legal and professional careers, but the Career Blueprint methodology is designed to support ambitious professionals more broadly.
Can I just have my CV rewritten?
Yes. The £49 CV Rewrite is a separate service for candidates who know their direction and want a stronger, more focused CV without completing the full Career Blueprint.
