http://homeforbusiness.co.uk/changing-career/ I Want A Career Change Part 2 Hello, my name is Andrea Lindsay and my business is called HALO Therapies. Hopefully you've had a chance to watch Career Change Part 1. If not, take the opportunity now, to go back and watch it and then come back to the 2nd part when you've had a chance to complete the first set of exercises.
