Elizabeth Morris
Career Development Consultant
Grad Dip Career Development, BA, CELTA.
On completing my BA, like many people I was unsure of what next. Unbeknown to myself at the time, I would spend a number of years practicing all the employability skills that I now impart to students and members of the public. As I enjoy languages I decided to become an ESOL teacher working both in NZ and overseas. Then having spent a considerable time working on my own career development journey I decided to become a Career Consultant. I completed the Graduate Diploma in Career Development and spent 4 years assisting people back into work after injury. A highly challenging and rewarding role. I enjoy working with people to help them unpack and find solutions to their career questions and it is really exciting when they have those light bulb moments. I am fascinated by the Future of Work and the role technology is playing in all our lives.
Di Bluck
Career Development Consultant
GradCert in Career Development, BCApSci
I am currently employed as a Career Development Consultant at Unitec and have been working in the Career industry for over 10 years. Previous to this, I have worked in a variety of industries including Food Science, Advertising & Marketing and in the Non for Profit sector.
I have a Consumer Food Science Degree, plus a Graduate Certificate in Career Development and have completed MBTI training. I enjoy MBTI, as it helps people to understand themselves a little better and can assist them to figure out what work environments they may be attracted too. I particularly enjoy watching clients having ‘A-Ha’ moments as to why they do certain things and why some things come easier to them than others. I am passionate about helping people to uncover their potential, and encourage them to understand that many things are possible with just a little hard work and determination.
