This is an ideal career for intuitive thinkers. Career Practitioners help students and private clients gain the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours to manage their work, learning and life. Rather than telling clients what careers they should aim for, you assist them to identify for themselves what matters to them and what they might be suited for.
