Let's Talk Careers with Ms.V

Sharing Career Stories & Building Future Leaders

Making career choices is one of the most overwhelming decisions a young person must make. For many, an ever-changing world-of-work, limited career guidance, and limited access to a plethora of career role models who share career-decision-journeys make a young person's career decision confidence more daunting.

Career research shows that career readiness requires time, patience, confidence, life experience, and a high level of self awareness for an individual to thrive in their lifelong career. However, students are expected to make career choices 'out of context' at the young age of 16 years...sometimes even younger.

As a career educator and pracitioner, I aim to provide high-quality career resources to students across the UAE (or as far as my social network channels reach), because I know for certain that education is not limited to school subjects. Preparing the youth for their future career must not be limited by one person in a students' life. Therefore, my career podcast aims to provide students, teachers, and career counsellors key insights to my guests' career stories, journeys, and career decisions.

MEET Ms.V

Hi! I'm Maria Vitoratos, otherwise known as, Ms.V is a career specialist, educator, researcher, public speaker, and career story podcaster. I am whole-heartedly committed to supporting youth and women with career readiness strategies, resources, and education.

I'm not your regular podcaster; I'm a trained comedian with a lifelong 'sarcastic' twist to my conversations. Students who work with work describe me as fun, addicted to careers, and very passionate about my work.

When I'm not on stage talking about careers, teaching my students and my clients about career development, working with women in career transition, building her MV Careers' team, or studying, you can find me in my role as mom to my two teens and my two pupsters.

Life is busy, fun, and always a learning journey for me. If you ever need to find me, you can always find me behind the screen of of phone, laptop, or desktop just swimming towards my life goals.
