Seek objective advice, boost your career 

Jobseekers, it is not just as simple as ‘doing something you love’ as there are real life constraints; make realistic choices, be ready to compromise

So what does it really mean to be interested in a career? That can be either a very straightforward and simplistic question, or it can feel for many like one of life's most unsolvable problems.

The more people try to consider career options, the more confused they can become which in turn can be the source of a lot of anxiety.

 “This specific challenge does not discriminate; from undergraduate students to vastly experienced professionals, a common theme tends to be: ‘I have absolutely no idea what I want to do,’” explains Shay Nolan, careers adviser, University College Cork.
