Why I started Career Smart Mums
After having my son I took over 2 years off full time paid employment. It was daunting re-entering the workforce. I felt my network had changed to coffees at park play dates!
With my background in HR and Recruitment I was able to enter the workforce full time, but I always came back to wanting flexibility and also to my passion of wanting to help Mums in similar situations navigate the return to work. This grew to encompass not just returning to work, but helping Mums across all stages of the career journey.
I decided to return to studying and completed a Graduate Certificate in Career Development. I truly understand what is happening in the labour market and how people get hired or obtain the promotion or career move they are looking for. Also the importance of self-knowledge, strengths and the holistic nature of careers.
I can offer you practical guidance and assistance to initially realise where you would like to be and strategies in getting there. Building confidence, understanding yourself, learning about opportunities, optimism and reaching your goals are what I want Mums to achieve.
