Building personal and practical skills essential for your career.
Developed exclusively by Psychologist and Founder of Galway Careers Clinic, Clodagh Higgins, this analysis of your personal and practical skills offers a complement to career focus. Using a specially structure exercise we combine your own assessment of your skills with an independent perspective of an expert. The analysis highlights your strengths –sometimes undiscovered – as well as areas in which you can usefully gain additional experience.
A little guidance goes a long way. At Galway Careers Clinic, we help you to build your motivation along with confidence in order to equip you to be your best. We also assist in producing study timetables so that you have a structure in place which is essential in order for you to excel. We also equip students with memory cues in order to aid revision. Along with this we also assist students with stress and anxiety issues.
According to Clodagh Higgins, “during specific times in the academic calendar students feel so stressed that they become unsure of the approach with regard to studying. This inhibits the development of clear thought and as a result they may find it easier to give up rather than take progressive action. That is why it is imperative for these people to have assistance in their quest for achievement”.
Interview practice for university entry or job applications.
A little practice can make a significant difference to interview performance. If you would like to hone your skills, perhaps in preparation for a job interview or applications for university courses, we can advise you on what to expect and give you the chance to practice in a mock interview session. We take a positive approach to help you boast your confidence, make the most of your abilities and create the right impression.
