Keith Keller - Career Consultant

A welcome edition to the AEC team, Keith brings with him more than twenty years in the workforce, including a decade in customer care.

Keith knows all too well how it feels to be trapped in a stifling and meaningless job. The loss of control he sensed, was the impetus that prompted him to 'follow his bliss' and change the course of his own career journey.

From first hand experience, he realises that career change is not only possible -- it’s exciting.

With a genuine passion for helping people Keith continues to support AEC's clients through the career change process, empowering them to develop the courage to transform situations that no longer suit them -- be it leaving a job they hate or following their bliss to create a more satisfying and balanced lifestyle.

Keith holds a Graduate Certificate in Education and Career Development from RMIT, and is a professional member of the Career Development Association of Australia.
