Career Counselling Service

We understand that your job is one of the most important aspects of your life.  This is why we provide a career counselling service to assist you to recognise all your career options, or even re-confirm your chosen career direction.

Firstly, we will step you through completing an Occupation Interest Profile.  This is a self-assessment that will assist in recognising your key vocational interest and work needs.  We step you through this exercise which will take no more than 20 minutes and is conducted in our office.  Our trained interpreter will then review your results and produce a tailored written report for you.

Secondly, we can provide you with a one-hour consultation providing you with further clarification on the occupational profiling conducted, in addition to a tailored one on one consultation which will result in:

• Recognising occupational options
• Identifying training (i.e. including cost, availability and location of courses/training providers)
• Devising a career plan

The investment in our career counselling service is $245.00 plus GST

Our Quick Tips

With the CV’s we see, the same mistakes regularly appear, so we recommend that you:

• Include all your relevant roles and certainly at least the last three years of employment. Making sure you have everything up to date and including your current role
• Remove all typos and over-fancy formatting e.g. try easy to read fonts
• Provide the CV in Microsoft Word format – not PDF or PowerPoint!

Cover Letters:

• If you include a covering letter, check, check and check again that you do not send it with other employers details on it!
• Confirm you are wanting to apply, invite a reply and provide your daytime contact details
• Do not ask the employer to call you after hours
• Remove all typos and over-fancy formatting e.g. try easy to read fonts
• Explain why you are interested in this particular role
• Read the letter and make sure it reads well - before you click APPLY or SEND

If you have given you cellphone number as a contact, keep your cellphone close by as the company will be trying to ring you back!
