• identifying your strengths and transferable skills
• developing confidence and job skills like time management
• reviewing your CV to meet your employment goals
• how and where to look for jobs
• mock interviews
• how to talk to your employer about your impairment and reasonable adjustments

But, your adviser:

• cannot write a CV or job application for you
• cannot search for jobs and work experience for you
