Due to COVID-19 I was recently made redundant, as part of our Outplacement program I have access to the counselling services through Career Money Life, I knew what I was looking for in terms of career counselling and spent some time looking through all available suppliers. It is important when looking for counselling support you find the right fit for your needs and personal values, Helen's profile stood out and resonated with me. I like her positive approach and as soon as we met I knew Helen was the right fit for me. I found her strategies and insights incredibly helpful and very positive. I look forward to continuing my sessions with her.
Thank you so much for assisting both myself and my Brissy training team with their LinkedIn profiles and resume tips.

The team is really looking forward to the group careers session at BNE airport next week.
