Given New Zealand’s return into Lockdown, my thoughts are with job searchers and career explorers during this challenging time.  The purpose of this special episode is to feature my friends from the careers industry who will share useful career tips and advice.  

My first guest is David Sharples, a Vocational Consultant from Alpha Consultants who shares insights in the current job market, and also gives tips on how to perform well in online interviews. He is followed by Cherie Perrow, a Careers Counsellor from KingsWay School who shares tips for parents and guardians on how to best support young people with their career development needs during lockdown.
