Expert Interim Talent: How to Launch Your Portfolio Career
At the start of the month, Aspen People was delighted to host Expert Interim Talent: How to Launch Your Portfolio Career with our partners City CV. The webinar was designed to help professionals explore what it really means to build a successful interim or portfolio career.
The session was led by Victoria McLean, CEO of City CV and a recognised expert in executive careers. Drawing on her experience as a former recruiter with Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch, Victoria shared practical, clear advice on how to reposition yourself for interim and consultancy roles and how to stand out in a competitive market. For more on our partnership with City CV please visit CityCV.com/Aspen-People.
Over the hour, we covered what many professionals find most challenging when considering the move to interim work: how to reshape your CV, build a strong LinkedIn presence, and develop a network that leads to genuine opportunities. Victoria also spoke about the mindset shift required, moving from long-term employment to short-term, high-impact assignments that demand both independence and agility.
The key takeaway? The interim market is full of opportunities for those ready to take control of their career. It’s not about “holding fort”, it’s about stepping in with purpose, delivering value quickly, and leaving a lasting impact.
Thank you to everyone who joined us, asked questions, and shared their experiences. If you missed this session but are curious about interim work or building a portfolio career, please call me on 07517 894 625 or email me at cgoodwin@aspenpeople.co.uk and we can have a chat.
