Careers adviser, freelancer, assessor. I work with school, college and university students. Consultancy projects and private clients all welcome. Better cricket watcher than player!
I’ve just been on @bbc radio Berkshire, talking about young people getting jobs. I was also asked what my first job was - I worked at a cactus farm on summer. What first jobs have other people had?

Career guidance doesn't have to be face to face in a room - I love how a stroll and a chat in nature can really work for some clients (and some practitioners).
