I’m 28 and work in workplace health and safety but I’ve totally hit a wall. I feel stuck and honestly have no clue what I want to do next. SO I have been looking at career coaches but they are waaay too expensive from what I’ve found (around $1,000 a session!!)
Does anyone have any recommendations for cheaper careers services or even online coaching. I'm not sure what my next step is. Thanks!

My opinion is that the world we live in and the world we once new are not the same anymore and moving forward I have a feeling it’s only gonna get harder and harder for the youth of Australia to get employment. So many variables stacked against them here are just a few I think of right now
So what I’m trying to tell my son who not long left school is get a trade qualification asap or some role that is always gonna be essential in the world as you will be one of York and 300 people applying

There’s a few books and podcasts out there on careers that are a lot cheaper than a career coach. A book I found helpful was Sort your career out by Shelley Johnson.

It can be tough sometimes to find services in your price range, so keep looking!
In the meantime though, we've got a free career planner guide over here: https://www.seek.com.au/career-advice/article/free-career-plan-template-with-guidance-on-how-to-create-your-own-plan
It's a bit of a walk through that you can sit down with, and maybe ask some questions about "what comes next".

I was about your age when I made a change. For me I started by writing down what I was good at and the things I enjoyed. That helped me research different jobs that lined up with those things. Oh yeah and also ask your friends/family for advice. They're the ppl who know you best after all.
