As Chief Operating Officer of a large company, I worked closely with Bob who was CEO of Chandler Macleod - ESP and his team, to use the excellent Career Guidance system. Bob introduced me to the DEEWR Minister and together we were successful in impressing him as to the benefits of the system for all potential employees and employers. I found Bob to be an excellent CEO and team player and the Career Guidance system and feedback excellent.
I was working as a labourer at the age of 19 with no idea of what direction I was going in, what I wanted to do or what jobs I'd be good at. After sitting the course and speaking with my career guidance coach, he showed me what jobs my real competencies and skills were and what type of job would best fit me.
I now run 2 companies based in Sydney, a web design company and also a catering company. There is no way I would have thought my skills would have taken me here.
Career Guidance gave me job options that I would never have ever thought of.
I was in a dead end clerical job with very few prospects of advancement.
The Career Guidance package made me realise that I had many strengths which I had never or would never have considered. This guided me to many jobs which were both suitable and attainable. Moreover it gave me confidence to go to University and turn my strengths into a graduate degree.
I have now held several very senior Commonwealth and State Government positions and have an assured career path.
I am pleased to recommend the career guidance package as it changed my life and career.
I graduated with a degree in Marketing but became disillusioned by the lack of opportunities and also realized that it was not my career direction.
After having taken the Career Guidance package I found that I had many strengths in areas that I had not realized. Also I was able to match these with many jobs which both suited me and caught my interest. I moved into logistics and I now have a very senior career with one of the worlds largest shipping companies.
