Feedback from Julie Baines (Mum returning to the workforce)

I was a full time wife and mum at home with 3 children who were settled at school and I had decided it was time for me to look at doing something for myself. I had already made my own progress on what I what wanted to do and how to fulfil the goal. However, it was just a matter of seeing someone who had the knowledge and experience to show me how to rearrange and prioritise my daily life to fit it all in. So I chose to go and see a Career Consultant. This was the best thing I could have done. I went through all aspects of my life that affected me as a person, mother and wife, and other roles we forget we have, whether this us being involved in the community, school or friendships etc... As it was, I found out how much time I had and didn’t have to enable to fit in a part time course and give it a go. I have had to put some things on hold and work on only a few things at first, which was invaluable advice. It gave me the confidence to plan well and set up a good system to make it all fit in around everyone else. After starting my course, I am now well on the way to completing my qualification and ready to go out into the work force. I highly recommend anyone to see a Career Consultant, no matter what stage you are at on deciding what, how, and when you make your goals so you can turn them into reality. THANK YOU, Jennie!!
