What kind of things can I get help with at a guidance appointment with a Careers Consultant?

A careers appointment is an opportunity to discuss your career ideas and plans in a confidential setting with a professionally qualified, impartial careers consultant. The consultant will help you to feel more confident about making an informed career decision - and don't worry if you do not have a career plan or idea, the consultant can help you to take the first step towards your career decision.
