About:

'Choose a job you love & you will never work a day in your life..'
Nice one Confucius, everyone loves this quote, but how can I be sure which my dream job is?
And if I am, can my dream job support a living in today's job market?
Do I have the necessary skills & experiences?
How can I feel more confident?

Being a Career Coach & Trainer, my role is to facilitate the path to Employability, using non-formal methods & self-reflection.
I also specialize in Refugee issues & 'Youthpass'.
