Your Career is one on the most important things in your life. Yet many people 'fall' into their first job by accident, and continue in a career path not of their choosing. Their roles may bear no resemblance to what they are actually good at, what they are best trained for, what they enjoy most or what they actually want. These people often spend the rest of their lives frustrated and disliking their work, and will likely experience several job and career changes whilst they try to figure-out what best suites them.
Career direction and progression is a very difficult area for most people to manage, but the good news is that Professional help is at hand! If you see yourself in the above situation then it's time you got some professional help that will enable you to take stock of where you are and where you would like to be in relation to your skills, interests and needs.
If you are unclear about your career direction or are finding it difficult to secure that important interview or job opportunity then our Career Development and Guidance Services will help you!

You can choose from our Budget, Career Guidance and Career Guidance and Counselling Programmes
Option 1: Budget Programme ($275 including GST)
This is suitable for all young people such as school leavers, university students, temps and employees in their first job.
eJobs uses a program of self-directed search, which is the most extensively used career guidance tool worldwide and is fully up-to-date with all the occupational data matched to the Australian workplace.
After a 30 minute exercise (which can be completed in any of our accredited offices or by correspondence), there is a feedback session when one of our Psychology team members provides feedback on your career profile based on these results.
Option 2: Career Guidance Programme ($500 including GST)
This is suitable for young adult Professionals and those contemplating early retirement or facing possible redundancy.
A tailored set of computer based profiles are completed (45 minutes). This can be done in any of our accredited Test Centres. Typical profiles consist of a Full Personality Profile, a Values and Motives Inventory, and an Occupational Interest Inventory. A Management Type Indicator and Sales Preference Indicator are used if appropriate.
You will receive a written report inclusive of full feedback in a follow-up session (either face-to-face or over the phone for distance candidates) when one of our Psychology team provides the results of the exercise ayour career profiles and offers career guidance.
Another follow-up by phone or email is provided 1 week later to further support you in your new career direction.
Option 3: Career Guidance & Counselling Programme ($850 including GST)
This is suitable for all young adults and Professionals, but especially when additional support over an extended time is needed, or specific counselling issues are evident.
This program includes all aspects of Option 2, above, with the added benefit of professional counselling. You will also receive an extra session face-to-face or via phone as a follow-up counselling support session (usually held a week after the first session).
Final Note:
It is common for some organisations, often via their HR Departments to be prepared to fund in full, or in part, a Career Guidance & Counselling Development Programme for an employee, especially where this might be part of a retrenchment package or outplacement assistance programme. If in doubt, ask your employer.
