Mr Tony McAvaney

Hi and welcome to my home page. I'm a member of the Career Services team, and I work as a Careers Adviser based at Magill campus supporting students who are studying in programs in the Division of EAS (Education, Arts and Social Sciences). The services I provide include a range of seminars and workshops covering topics such as career planning, developing effective job seeking strategies, resume preparation and other job application documentation and interview skills. I'm also available to see students one-on-one at the times designated on the Career Services website for career consultations - http://www.unisanet.unisa.edu.au/careers/Careerconsultations/cnsultationappointments.asp

Prior to joining UniSA I spent 5 years working as a consultant to an international management consultancy whose client base was Australia's top 500 companies. This company specialised in providing a full range outplacement and career management services to first line and middle managers, and senior executives. My role was to conduct indvidual and group coaching in all aspects of career planning, career management, self marketing and job search strategies.

During my career I have held a number of training and development specialist positions in various sectors of industry. These have included banking, tourism/hospitality, retail/wholesale and manufacturing. I was also a recruitment consultant in the IT industry in Adelaide and Melbourne.

I am a qualified counsellor and still have a part-time business in which I offer my clients a range of personal, relationship and career counselling services.
