“I have
worked in a career I love for 32 years.
My passion is to help others
find the work they love and enjoy, too.
I spark and encourage people to find out
who they are, what they are good at, and
where they can do their best work."
My own career adventure has been filled
with variety and challenge.
I have been a careers practitioner in
education, community and government, and
run a successful private practice that
has developed into the Career
Action Centre. Before becoming
a careers consultant, I was a secondary
school teacher in Sydney.
In 1993, I set up the TAFE Course Line
for the Department
of Education in Victoria, a telephone
service that assists thousands of callers
every year.
My formal qualifications are a Master of Career Development,
B.A., Grad.Dip.Education, and Grad.Dip.Careers.
I am also accredited to administer the Myers-Briggs
Type Indicator (MBTI) and
MBTI
Expanded Interpretive Report (EIR).
In 1993 I trained in the USA with Richard
Nelson Bolles, author of the best-seller
careers book “What Color is your
Parachute?”
All of this experience plus my work with
clients helps me understand the difficulties-
and the excitement - involved in initiating
and managing career and life change.
My aim is to encourage life-long growth,
and to help people who feel stuck or unhappy
with their choices to make decisions that
can enhance their life.”

thanks for meeting with Susan last week,
she is certainly more motivated than I
have seen her in a long time. I hope this
continues and that she finds the
information and direction she is now looking

"Dear
Jacqui, Thank you very much for the time
you spent with me. It proved to be very
helpful and I would have no reservations
in recommending you to others! You are
highly skilled in your profession and
hence the two sessions I had with you
were invaluable.”
