Example Letter
Dear Miss Pierson,
Thank you for your letter seeking my advice about what to do now that you have finished school. I understand how challenging this stage can be, but there are a variety of options available for you to consider.
If I were you, I would start by making a list of careers that interest you and then decide which one best matches your exam grades and subject preferences. I would also recommend speaking with a careers officer, who can provide you with professional guidance. Additionally, it might be helpful to contact some universities and request their prospectuses—you may discover a course that truly appeals to you. I hope these suggestions are helpful. I wish you every success in whichever path you choose. Do let me know what you decide—it’s always a pleasure to hear from former pupils.
Yours sincerely,
Linda Steel
