Any Career Guidance Counsellor Suggestions?

    I'm not too far from Galway but I'm willing to travel.

    I'm in the final year of my Business degree and I just frankly haven't a clue where I'm going. I'm considering some new direction every 2 minutes, from graduate programmes to HDips to going back to another 4 year degree so I think a chat with career guidance is in order.

    I also spoke with the Careers office at college, had a meeting with the careers counsellor but I didn't find her very help - Basically just said 'maybe accounting, oh you hate accounting... oh well have a look at some other graduate jobs'

    Anyway, any ideas for Career Guidance Counsellors?

    Try John Dunphy, Carr Communications. He can do it via Skype. Found him excellent

    I heard Lynda Barry on a podcast and i thought she was very good. I don't have personal experience but she seems to know her stuff. Also the Adult education ETB have some very good guidance counsellors attached to them but they may not be an option unless you are attending as a student.

    Since you are in the west, you could try these guys: https://slinuacareers.com

    However you need to temper your expectations of a careers guidance counsellor, it really is a going to be a serious of suggestions as you already experienced and especially so if you yourself have no idea what you want to do. Yes they can do various tests that will show that you might have an aptitude for certain areas but that does not mean that you would actually be good at a particular job nor that you would actually enjoy doing it.
