Access to Freelance Careers Advisors
Following the closure of our direct careers services, some of our former Skillset careers advisors are offering their services on a freelance basis.
They have all been trained to deliver one-to-one careers advice as well as speak on a range of industry issues and deliver workshops on subjects ranging from CV Writing and Self Marketing to Financial Management as a freelancer.
For information on rates, availability and other services, please read through their biographies below and contact them directly.
