Can anyone point me in the direction of the best place to find free careers advice? I've had meetings with Next Step and I haven't found them very useful.
Are you a student? If so, check your College Student Services or University Career Centre - many students aren't aware they exist!
If you're not then your best bet is to find organisations that provide free advice (think of jobcentre and local career agencies).~ Better mad with the rest of the world than wise alone.0 -
have you tried Next Step on the direct gov website they have a section called planning your career ......or Careers Wales if your in Wales? - cant put links sorry - Newbie :-)0

It also depends on why you thought they were un-helpful. Many people want careers advisers to tell them what job to do. That's just impossible - and going in with that expectation means that everyone will be unhelpful for you.0

We would always advise people to use the Next Step service, it is the best independant & free service for Careers & training advice. Shame you found them unhelpful, maybe try again with a different advisor.0
