Create My School Counsellor CVSchools and counselling services look for professional ethics, communication skills and structured guidance work. Your CV should show which age group you work with and the approaches you use.
State the setting and age group
Primary, secondary, sixth form or university counselling services work differently. Say which settings you worked in.
Separate your types of work
