If you are struggling to work out what you want to do next, then I can help generate career ideas for students like you.
Whether you’re just starting study at around the age of 14 for the end of stage exams at 16 (like GCSE’s or nationals), 18 (like A-Levels or highers) or in your early 20’s after a degree or a masters, the choices for next steps can sometimes feel overwhelming.
Apprenticeships, more study, work, travelling, volunteering or something else altogether, the world might be your oyster but right now that can feel terrifying.
Whatever your exam results are, you have options. And you can start with something small and manageable right now to help you figure things out. Helping to develop career ideas for students is exactly what And Stuck? is for.
If you like learning at your own pace, the And Stuck? workbooks are a great place to begin. They are designed to help you think through your options, reflect on your strengths, and create a realistic plan of action — step by step.
Even if you know exactly what you want to do next, the book series can help you with things like writing your CV and interviews. You’ll work through really practical exercises and will find that you have more things to call upon in these situations. Like “what are your strengths?” – a classic interview question. You’ll be able to recall what you’ve worked though in these exercise and answer with confidence.
If you need help with getting LinkedIn working for you – there’s a digital course perfect for you. LinkedIn Secrets for Smart Students, lets you work through what you need to know in manageable chunks. Simply by doing this course, you’d be surprised how this can help generate career ideas for students.

“Sarah’s sessions have been fantastic for my career. Her calm approach on how to effectively use LinkedIn have been vital for me in pursuing my career. In just a few weeks I have begun to effectively use LinkedIn to reach potential employers and fellow graduates in similar positions to myself.
I would highly recommend using Sarah’s services if looking for where to begin on LinkedIn!” Angus, Politics and International Relations Graduate
“I had some LinkedIn coaching from Sarah, and our session was an absolute game changer! As a student, the idea of putting myself out there on LinkedIn felt a little intimidating and overwhelming at first. However, Sarah broke everything down for me in a super clear and engaging way, helping me understand the platform’s features, what recruiters and looking for, and what steps I should be taking now to strengthen my profile while I finish my degree. Thanks to her guidance, I now feel well equipped to start building my presence on here. Sarah is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and supportive, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their LinkedIn experience – especially any other students/newbies in need of a confidence boost!” Lily, BA English & Social Policy Student
