What is Career Coaching?

Career coaching is a conversation about you and your future.

You might already know where you want to go, or you might have no idea yet.

Both are completely fine.

In a one-to-one session, we'll explore where you are now, what matters to you and the practical steps that could help you move forward.

What can we talk about?

Explore your options

"I'm not sure what I want to do."

Explore career possibilities and discover where your studies, interests and skills could take you.

Understand yourself

"What are my strengths, interests and values?"

Understand what matters to you and how your strengths and interests might connect with different career paths.

Build your experience

"What can I do now to become more employable?"

Explore ways to build skills and experience through work, volunteering, projects and university activities.

Resume & cover letter

"How can I improve my resume or cover letter?"

Learn how to present your skills and experiences clearly and tailor your application to an opportunity.

Job search

"Where do I find opportunities?"

Explore strategies for finding part-time work, internships and other opportunities to gain experience.

Interviews & confidence

"How do I prepare and talk about myself?"

Practise interview questions and learn how to communicate your skills, experiences and strengths with confidence.

Choosing my next step

"I'm deciding between degrees, specialisations or career pathways."

Explore your options and the factors that matter to you so you can make a more informed decision about what comes next.

Meet your Careers & Employability Advisor

Hi, I'm Agata.

My role is to help UNSW College students explore career possibilities; recognise the skills and experiences they already have, build confidence and take practical steps towards their future.

Whether you're just starting to think about your career, choosing between different pathways or getting ready to apply for an opportunity, I'm here to help you work out what comes next for you.

You don't need to know exactly where you're going before we start.

  • Your career starts before graduation.

    You don't need to wait until you're applying for graduate jobs to start thinking about your career.

    Starting early gives you time to:

    • understand your strengths, interests and values
    • explore different careers before making decisions
    • build experience through work, volunteering and university activities
    • develop skills employers value
    • learn how to communicate your experience
    • make more informed decisions about your next steps.

    Small steps now can make future decisions much easier.

  • 30 minutes. One-to-one. Focused on you.

    There is no test, and you don't need to prepare the “right” answers.

    Depending on what you'd like to discuss, your session might involve exploring your ideas, identifying your strengths and interests, researching career pathways, discussing study and career options, reviewing your resume or cover letter, practising interview questions or creating a simple action plan.

    You'll leave with clearer next steps – not pressure to have everything figured out.

  • You can book a session if you're thinking...

    • “I have no idea what career I want.”
    • “I'm choosing between two degrees.”
    • “What jobs could my degree lead to?”
    • “I don't have any work experience.”
    • “I don't know what my strengths are.”
    • “I've never written a resume.”
    • “I want to find a part-time job.”
    • “I have an interview coming up.”
    • “I know what career I want, but I don't know what to do next.”

    You don't need to have a clear career question before you book. We can work that out together.
