What Does a Career Consultant Do? How They Can Help Your Career Grow

Lost in Career Limbo? A Career Consultant Can Help!

Let’s be real—figuring out your next career move can feel like navigating a maze blindfolded. Whether you're switching industries, dusting off your CV after years away, or just need someone to tell you yes, you are awesome and totally employable—we’ve got your back.

At EnableWorks, we help people just like you get unstuck, get noticed, and get hired. So, what exactly does a Career Consultant do? Grab a cuppa, and let’s dive in.

What is a Career Consultant? (Hint: Your Career’s New Best Friend)

A Career Consultant is like a personal trainer for your career. We provide expert guidance and game-changing strategies to help you land that dream job. Our clients include:

Career changers – Jumping industries? We’ll help you stick the landing. ✔️ Job seekers post-injury or illness – Navigating new work options with confidence. ✔️ Parents returning to the workforce – Helping you re-enter like a boss. ✔️ Anyone feeling stuck – Because "What do I want to do with my life?" is a BIG question.

As you can see, the role of a Career Consultant is varied but the goal is always the same - to help people. They use their knowledge of the labour market, trends and personal marketing to support their clients to get to where they want to be in the world of work.

How We Can Help You WIN at Work

Career consulting can be as quick as a CV spruce-up or as in-depth as a full-blown career makeover. Here’s what we offer: ✔️ CV & Cover Letter Magic – Need a refresh or a total transformation? We craft professional, eye-catching documents that scream "Hire me!" ✔️ LinkedIn Glow-Up – Because recruiters do check your profile (and we make sure they like what they see). ✔️ Interview Confidence Coaching – Stop sweating, start impressing. ✔️ Job Search Hacks – Learn where to look, how to apply, and how to land that offer. ✔️ Redundancy Support – Helping you pivot with purpose (and a killer new CV). ✔️ Pre-Employment Prep – Everything from CVs to interview skills, tailored to your journey.

Sometimes it’s just a session or 2 needed, or putting together an eye-catching CV or cover letter for example, and other times it’s a bit longer when there are multiple elements required. This may involve exploring and arranging retraining/upskilling and providing education around interview, cover letter and job search skills.

Career Consultants support people to move forward in their working life. Their clients may have experienced an injury or illness and need to retrain or be returning to the workforce following time caring for their family. Career consultants support people to change roles whether it be climbing the career ladder, switching industries entirely or clarifying career direction. They work in collaboration with the individual on their goals and help them to define these if they are feeling stuck.
