Welcome to CoolerCareers.
I'm adding new material to the site regularly and I've also written a
number of reports which you can sign up for at no cost. See the links
below. I've also just created some free software for those of you who
are looking for a job - you can keep track of all of your deadlines and
contact information in one place. You can download it here: Free

This site contains careers
advice and information, provided by a careers advisor and aimed at those
wishing to find a new direction. You can sign up for various types of
free information, such as a newsletter, CV tips,
a Spanish language course and information
on setting
up your own business.
The section on studying covers
earning your degree online, financing your studies with student grants
and scholarships and provides a basic essay writing guide.
The site also includes an area
specifically aimed at over 40s, with information on portfolio careers
and tips on transferable skills, which is particularly useful for women
returning to work after a break.
CoolerCareers is produced by
Waller Jamison who trained as a Careers Advisor at the University of 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 then taught
academic writing on a part-time basis for four years.
Over the past few year, Waller
has been working with graduates an dnono-graduates, helping them with
CVs and job applications.
She also has a Certificate
in Business Skills for Consultants, which enables her to help clients
write business plans.
This site is for people who
are not happy in their present jobs and who are looking for a really fulfilling
way in which to earn a living, either by finding a more satisfying job
or setting up a small or home-based business, or a combination of both.
