NEWBY - Small Beginnings

Here I go - my first ever blog post. I'm using this site to spread career information and discussion (I guess) primarily among the students I work with at Southern Cross Campus (a multicultural high school in Mangere, a suburb of Auckland, New Zealand) but also for anyone else who may find the ramblings posted here of interest. I don't know what I'm doing - never tried blogging before - and will have to work this thing out as I go along. The network that my school uses is somewhat tired and blogging seems to be an appropriate way to 'spread the word' about new and existing careers as well as some of the services I can offer here at SCC. The only thing of any great value that I'm going to post today is a plug for the NZ Career Services website. This is internationally highly regarded and well worth a look for anyone - NOT JUST STUDENTS - who may be researching ideas, looking for pathways or trying to figure out what their interests might be. The homepage includes links to a great career assessment tool (Pathfinder) and also a wonderful template where you can build, save and store a stunning CV - complete with tips, hints and examples.
