Rebecca Corfield Tee. For her doctoral studies she is researching the motivation of a small sample of people in the UK who volunteer to be school governors. This volunteer activity forms part of a career, albeit unpaid. Her research is qualitative and is an auto/biographical narrative enquiry with a small number of school governors.  Her data collection is now complete and she is currently analyzing her material.  Emerging issues include recognition, social roles, identity and community engagement. Her other research interests include narrative methods, creative approaches to accessing auto/biography and embodied interviewing. She joined the Centre for Career & Personal Development at Canterbury Christ Church University in the UK in 2011.  She is a Senior Lecturer across a range of courses including Exploring Labour Markets, Research Methods, Ethics and Values, Youth in Society and Mentoring. She holds the Masters in Business Administration (MBA). She also runs her own careers consultancy based in South London providing careers counselling and coaching. She offers training in giving presentations and has acted as a mediator, helping to solve work conflicts. She is the author of several best-selling job search books under the name Rebecca Corfield. She has worked in the guidance field for many years specializing in work with adults and she is also a past elected President of the national Institute of Career Guidance in the UK (now the Career Development Institute).
