Written by two experienced career guidance counsellors in an honest and clear style, Sorted! helps parents and secondary school students to negotiate the tricky process of choosing a career.
With the intention of removing the stress and complications of making career decisions, Sorted:
- Outlines all the different options upon leaving school – higher education, further education, studying abroad, apprenticeships and professional training
- Explains how to make informed decisions around key areas such as the CAO process and choosing school subjects
- Explores how natural interests and abilities can lead to an enjoyable and successful career
Sorted! is an essential guide to the world beyond school primarily for parents, but will also prove useful for students, teachers and career guidance counsellors.

"All in all it is a fine product with a clearly defined audience. For any parent of a Leaving Cert student this would make ideal reading. While a lot of information is shared on the parental network and grapevine it is often not always reliable information, and this very readable book along with an approachable Guidance Counsellor should help fill the information vacuum."
