Are you DBS checked?
I am fully ‘DBS Enhanced checked’ and am also registered with the DBS update service.
How are you different to other Career Guidance companies?
I hold extensive experience as a contractor in multiple sectors. Your students would benefit from my practical experience of having worked in the Civil Service, Legal, Transportation, Insurance, Accountancy, Education and Finance industries*(see page 3). Additionally, I have built a career around Recruitment where I interview candidates on a weekly basis. I am acutely aware of what skills and knowledge students require in order to succeed at interview stage.
How do you measure your performance?
At the conclusion of each Guidance session the student is asked to complete a questionnaire, the results of which are shared with the school.
What if we require more than once career advisor?
I have several contacts within the Career Guidance sector with whom I have worked closely in the past. I can arrange for a team of up to six Career Advisors to deliver within the school.
