CoolerCareers is produced by Waller Jamison who trained as a Careers Advisor at the University or East London and subsequently worked with adults in various organisations, including an adult education college. She has given advice on careers and training to a wide variety of clients, from unemployed people to postgraduates.
She also set up a mentoring scheme for homeless people and has run a number of
training courses providing job-search and self-employment skills.
She later trained as a teacher at the Institute of Education, University or London, where she now teaches academic writing on a part-time basis.
Over the past year, Waller has been working with graduates, helping them with CVs and job applications. It was clear that they simply hadn't been taught how to complete these effectively - especially the blank page on job applications, often referred to as the "Supporting Statement".
It can take hours to fill in an application. So it was much more practical to put the information into e-book form. Every CV and application is different and so, rather than get someone to do them for you, it makes more sense to learn how to do it yourself - and it's much cheaper. Waller's e-book 9 Steps to CV Success is available here : E-Book It's also suitable for school leavers, and anyone returning to work after a break or planning a career change.
Waller also has a Certificate in Business Skills for Consultants, which enables her to help clients write business plans.
