National Careers Week 2013

Careers guidance for young people has never been more important, with nearly one million young people unemployed in the UK and businesses vocal about the skills gap they face when recruiting at entry level. This, coupled with the cuts to services for this age bracket makes National Careers Week an essential vehicle of support for young people and their career journeys. National Careers Week runs from the 4th – 8th March 2013 and is now in its third year.  The whole thing is the brainchild of those very clever bods over at Careersinfo. All of us here at Explorer’s HQ are proud to lend our...

Coming Soon: The Career Explorer's Journal 2013

I’m delighted to announce the new edition of The Career Explorer’s Journal will soon be available to download. It’s exciting to think about what’s ahead but over the last few days I’ve also been looking back. So, if you’re interested in the short version of the journal’s own history of exploration and discovery, read on… I wrote the first edition of the book in 2009 and published it in 2010. If you’d asked me back then, the idea of writing new updates each year couldn’t have been further from my mind. Back then, after all those months of...

The Perfect Careers Adviser

Last year, quite a few people contributed to our group exploration on the subject of ‘What careers advisers love about their job‘. This year we wanted to ask a question everyone can have an opinion on. Last time around we were stuck in the real world (some might say stuck in the past!) because we started at a meeting. This time around we’re kicking things off here in the wonderful online world first. You don’t even need to leave your seat in order to have your say. So this is our new group exploration, Who is the perfect careers adviser? What qualities does he/she...

Career Easter Eggs

I recall when I first found out about virtual easter eggs, the cool little treats developers sometimes hide in software, apps and games. What a nice way to reward insight, determination or just plain clicking about. Recently, this got me thinking about easter eggs for our careers. If some of the good things that happen throughout our careers can be thought of as career easter eggs, is there a way to make more of them happen? Is it possible for each of us to sow seeds and help more delightful little breaks occur in our future? Not only is this possible, I reckon you’re already making...

How Careersbox Works

1. Someone we know very well is studying to be a midwife 2. We said, ‘Pop over to Careersbox, they probably have a film about that’ 3. A quick search and up popped this film of a real student midwife talking about her experience and her degree course 4. Our friend listens and learns from this genuine, first-hand source 5. Outstanding! 😀 For more films & more experiences (because we don’t all want to be Midwives) visit Careersbox.co.uk * * * *...
