How to choose a career? It’s a question students have been asking themselves for generations. Some are lucky enough to know exactly what they want in life and are able to plan and make appropriate choices – it’s as if their career chose them. Most of us are not so fortunate, and the enormous range of career choices and the even bigger range of academic choices can leave us feeling somewhat lost and confused.
As a professional education consultant and career counselor I can help you to find your right path in life.
A key part the process is to get to you know you as an individual. And for you to start to get to know yourself a little better. In this way we can discover your strengths, talents and skills, but we can also take an honest look at your areas for development and find out what doesn’t suit you.
I will take you through some of the world’s most respected personality and aptitude tests, to provide you with objective insights into your public and private personas and your true motivators.
I limit the number of students that I take on so that I can give everyone my personal attention. In order to give the best advice you need to trust me, and I need to know you – I believe the only way to achieve those goals is by dealing with my students one-to-one.
The key to effective career counseling is to help you draw up your own career map. Note I didn’t say “give you a map”. My role is to guide, to counsel, perhaps to cajole, but you must make the informed decisions for yourself and to take ownership of your own study and career journey. Once you’ve made those decisions I can help with applications, mock interviews, advice on personal statements and resumes, and supporting you wherever we’ve identified it’s required.
