Thanks so much for your assistance in my job application. Your advice regarding focus on transferable skills and approaching the interview were invaluable. I got the job! The interviewers remarked at how impressed they were by my skills that demonstrated life knowledge and an understanding of other industries that might be applied in the position.

Mayten helped me prepare for an interview for a University that I wanted to get in to. Jo helped me with what I should say about myself and how to approach questions asked by Unis and employers. I found Mayten very useful and highly recommend it for young adults heading into the workforce or Universities.”

Consultations

Individual consultations provide one-on-one support and targeted skill development.

Graduates

One focus area is school leaver and graduate career coaching. Once you’ve finished your HSC, TAFE Course or degree, the next challenge is gaining a position that will help you grow and advance your career.

This type of consultation is one-on-one, face to face.

Gap Year Programs

We provide interview practice for Australian Year 11 or 12 students planning their GAP year, who are wanting to practice interviews for international placements. These programs often recruit through in-person or online interviews, identifying young people suited to placement in schools or holiday summer camp programs overseas. This type of consultation is one-on-one, but can be provided in-person or online (Zoom).
