Who helped you at school to decide on your career?

Your Career Decision Journey

Hey everyone,

I've got a quick survey for you to do (should only take about two minutes!).
Its about who helped you make your career choice at school.

I am carrying out this research to present at the FIRST Career Conference to be held in the UK, this November. So its your chance to give some real views from real students who have just been on that journey!

As a thank you, all participants who complete this survey before 3rd of Nov, will be entered into a prize draw to win one of 5 iTunes cards, each work £25.

The survey closes on the 3rd of Nov 2013. Prize winner will be notified by email no later than 4th November 2013.
