How it works
No cost, no commitment. You tell me where you're stuck. I tell you honestly whether I can help and what I'd suggest.
Online, or in person on the Central Coast. A short questionnaire beforehand means we don't spend the session on background.
Not general advice. Specific next steps, written down, that you can actually start on that week.

You send it through, I read it properly before we meet, then we go through what's working and what isn't. You make the changes yourself.

Meet Deanna
Advice from someone who has read hundreds of real applications and sat in the room deciding who got called back.
You're not starting again with a stranger each session. By the third conversation I know your situation.
You leave with next steps on paper, not just a nice chat you half remember by Tuesday.
What I don't do is put anyone into a job. I get you ready to go and get one.
Questions people ask
Something else on your mind? Ask it on the free call.
You talk and I listen first. We go through what you've done so far, including things you wouldn't think to mention like sport, volunteering or looking after family, and work out what those say about you. Then we look at where that could go and what the realistic next step is. You leave with that written down.
No, and be careful of anyone who says they will. What happens here is that you get clear on what you're aiming at and properly ready for it, so that when you do apply you're a much stronger candidate than you were.
The opposite. Having no paid work history doesn't mean having no experience. School projects, team sport, caring for younger siblings, a side hustle, volunteering, all of it shows things employers pay for. Most people have just never been shown how to see it or how to say it.
In a private room in Wamberal on the Central Coast, New South Wales. The exact address is sent when your booking is confirmed. Everything is also available online, so where you live doesn't matter.
Yes, and plenty do. Parents are welcome to sit in on the first session or to stay out of it completely, whichever works better for the young person.
A one hour session with a career practitioner in Australia usually runs between $199 and $320, and multi session packages are often around $900. Fast Forward Careers is deliberately priced below that while it gets established on the Central Coast, starting at $59 for a quick résumé review and $100 for a full hour. The first 15 minute call is always free.
