Opportunities for Q&As in the Melbourne Herald Sun

CDAA has been approached by the Melbourne Herald Sun to distribute an opportunity for experienced practitioners to share their practical experience and wisdom in career management practice. The opportunity is to provide an informative but brief Q&A example that provides useful career information to the general public in a career Q&A column. This opportunity provides private practice members in particular an opportunity to advertise their career management business, to educate the public on career issues and also to advertise the CDAA and the profession.

You may submit more than one example as Daniel will select for each edition from those that he has available. If you are interested in submitting a Q&A on a career issue, please send via email to Daniel Hoy (hoyd@heraldsun.com.au)
