We provide complete career guidance and coaching services.

Is career guidance right for me?

Are you thinking of starting or returning to higher education? Are you considering changing careers? Are you facing redundancy or re-entering the job market? Are you struggling with job hunting or difficult interviews? Maybe you’re just trying to decide on the right career path. If any of these sound familiar, you could benefit from our comprehensive career guidance and coaching services.

How Career Advice Cork can help you progress your career:

Ideally, our career is a mirror of who we are – our personality, interests, abilities, values – but it’s not always easy to make the right career decisions. Choosing a career path, establishing clear career goals, or deciding to change job is not an easy process. It can be difficult to know how to choose the right higher education course, achieve job satisfaction, decide if you want a job or a career (there is a difference!), market yourself to potential employers, or know how to succeed in an interview. We all need support with developing career management skills.

I aim to provide you with expert professional development advice tailored towards your own individual career goals. As an experienced career development consultant, I can help you with career guidance, career planning, changing careers, job hunting, and much more. I provide career counselling and career coaching services for both adults and young people.

Whether you are considering further education, have recently graduated, are returning to the work force, or are considering a career change or progression, my goal is to equip you with the confidence, knowledge and skills to enable you to take ownership of your own career development and succeed in your chosen career path.

What people say about Career Advice Cork:

Disappointed with my Leaving Certificate results I didn’t know what to do. I went to Elaine who steered me in the right direction. I am now nearing completion of the first year of an Honours Degree in Business which I am enjoying. Since writing the above, I returned to Elaine in second year of my Degree to help me with practice interviews for a second-year summer internship I was very keen to secure. Her interview training really helped me understand the interview process and gave me great confidence. I really feel it gave me the edge over other candidates. I was offered two internships with the Big 4 Accounting firms. I am delighted and will start my internship in June.

Elaine has been an invaluable resource to me over the years assisting and guiding me on my career path. Extremely professional and offers a high level of expertise she has enabled me to explore different options, allowing me to make informed career decisions in a non-judgmental space. I could not recommend Elaine  enough as a career development consultant.

Hi Elaine, I got a new job!!!!   I accepted a position as Senior Tax Specialist in a US company. I’ll be based in Cork.  I want to thank you for all your help with the CV and Interview prep without which I don’t think I would have gotten through the 5 interviews it took to get this job. I handed in my notice today and I’m off to California at the end of the month for training.  Thanks again for all your help.
