Career Advisor

A Career Advisor provides advice for clients on potential career choices or ways to progress in their current job roles. You might discuss job options or work on ways to achieve career goals. Career Advisors suggest study options, career progression strategies or options such as work experience or internships. You might also conduct assessments to check suitability for potential careers.

Career Advisors should be able to communicate effectively with a range of clients. You should be a good listener and be able to understand clients’ needs and goals. Career Advisors should be good problem solvers and may need to think outside of the box. It’s important that you can motivate your clients and inspire them to strive for their goals.
