A career is a pattern
Vocational opinion is strengthened by understanding the person’s education, training, work exposure, progression, earnings, responsibilities and demonstrated choices over time. One job title or salary point rarely tells the full story.
Before and after
The pre-incident trajectory provides a basis for considering likely progression, while post-incident evidence helps explain actual changes, accommodation, interrupted work, reduced options or alternative employment.
Context matters
Labour-market conditions, geographic access, industry experience, transferable skills, age, health evidence and personal circumstances can all influence realistic vocational options.
Evidence and assumptions
A clear report separates documented facts, interview information, research and professional assumptions. Where evidence is limited, the uncertainty should be stated rather than hidden.
