About Brian Vander Waal: My Journey to Your Career Success

Hi there! I’m Brian Vander Waal, and this is my story about my journey from the USA to the UK. It transformed my life and career and the lives and careers of others.

In 2003, I landed in London, a 24-year-old American ready to explore a new world. Today, I’m a seasoned Employment and Careers Consultant, Careers Coach, and Careers Writer. I am passionate about guiding individuals and organisations to navigate the ever-changing job market.

With more than 17 years of international experience in Employment, Learning, and Skills, I specialise in providing expert guidance and support to individuals navigating their career journeys. I am committed to empowering individuals to make the right choices based on sound advice and good labour market information.

That’s why I founded brianvanderwaal.com, a dynamic blog dedicated to navigating the intersection of careers, learning, and the ever-growing influence of AI.

Equipping Myself, Empowering You

My journey began with a Bachelor of Arts degree with honours in the US. I carried out further studies in the UK, where I achieved a Level 6 Diploma in Career Guidance and Development. This comprehensive qualification is equivalent to a bachelor’s degree with honours. I pursued this qualification due to my unwavering commitment to offering individuals impartial, high-quality career advice and guidance.

A Unique Perspective

Living and working in the US and UK opened my eyes to their distinct educational systems and work cultures. This experience, my dual qualifications (US Bachelor’s and UK Level 6 Diploma in Career Guidance), and European exposure equip me with a unique global perspective to help you chart your career path.

I specialise in using AI tools and technologies to enhance job seeker support and facilitate career advancement opportunities.
