Hi,
More than 25 years ago, I sought careers advice with your organisation, and following your advice, embarked on a master’s degree at the University of London in Ergonomics, specialising in Human Factors in Human-Computer Interaction, which was the first year it was offered as a specialisation.
I now work at Google/YouTube, where I have been for nearly six years, after 15 years working in various Silicon Valley companies, focusing specifically on Internet products. I often tell my story of how I got started, because those entering my profession now cannot believe that I have been in the field for so long, having experienced so much – I hardly believe it myself.
My career counsellor was Anne Lines, whose name I have not forgotten. She may have retired now, but while I considered her advice with a healthy dose of scepticism at the time, it turned out to be incredibly perceptive.
Best wishes for the new year.
Stephen Wheeler
