There is a new free National Careers Service https://nationalcareersservice.direct.gov.uk/Pages/Home.aspx


If you are willing to pay, The Careers Group (which provides the Careers Serviceto all uni of London Instituions) offers a package. It is not cheap though: http://www.gradclub.co.uk/CareersAdvice.aspx


The Career Development inst. has a list of qualified independant advisers that you could check: http://www.thecdi.net/Professional-Register-


You could also try Prosepcts Planner which is free to use, and used by most UK HE Institutions. Go to www.prospects.ac.uk and serach prospects planner. It will ask you questions etc and match you to areas/sectors that maybe of interest.Take it with a pinch of salt but its a start, and it may make you question why these areas have come up.


Good luck

I found this book (What Color Is Your Parachute?) very helpful many moons ago, although the author is American as you can tell by the spelling, and I don't know whether these days there are English references as well.


No idea if it still is helpful, but it seems to have good reviews on Amazon judging by the star rating (I haven't read them).

My experience of The Careers Group was appalling; as with most of these things, it probably depend who you get, but be wary, especially if you are paying a lot! (If you want to go with them and want a name to avoid, pm and I can pass it on.)


If you are a graduate, you used to be able to use your old university's careers service for free. Don't know if this is still the case, but worth findings out?

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
