Claire Pech – Careers Advisor

Welcome to the Class of 2019

It was great to welcome in the new Year 12 students this week. It made me reflect on how quickly time flies at Emanuel! I would like to reiterate some points I made this week.

Please can all students complete the Year 12 questionnaire, if they have not done so already:

Please can all Year 12s (and any other students too) register with jobjump if they have not already done so:-

This site can tailor information directly to your inbox based on your career preferences and subject choices, so it can take a lot of research time off your hands.

This is the 2018 timeline to help with planning:

Below is the careers jigsaw for students to pick a piece if they do not know where to begin in this process. There is no right or wrong place, and a variety of these pieces can make up the puzzle.

And finally, I wanted all students to be aware of the variety of options that are out there if they do not get in to their desired course – a reality for some students. I emphasised the list of options, sometimes taking longer, but moving forward, and I feel having this knowledge early on can really help with stress and anxiety levels.
