landing your perfect role isn't easy
What do you need help with?
Job Search: How to find the right opportunities
Actively looking but don't know where to look?
There's so much more to job search than job boards. Do you know how to tap into the hidden job market, how to control your job search strategy, and the key mistakes to avoid?
Resume / CV Applications: How to secure interviews
Not hearing back when you apply for jobs?
Your resume is probably letting you down. Or perhaps it's your cover letter? Or maybe you are making common mistakes in the way you approach job applications?
Interview Preparation: How to convince them you are the best candidate
Getting interviews but not the job?
Are nerves getting the better of you? Do certain questions catch you out? Or perhaps you haven't got a clue about what's going wrong because it seems fine on the day?
Salary Package Negotiation: How to get paid what you are worth
Got an offer but it's not what you expected?
Thinking of taking it anyway because you don't know what to say? Thinking of rejecting it because you don't like confrontation? Or perhaps you are considering staying where you are - even though you are unhappy?

About our courses...
A game changer
Taking the Resume Masterclass was a game-changer! Within just two weeks of updating my resume using the tips and strategies from the course, I landed three interviews and accepted an amazing new role. The course made it so easy to create a resume that truly showcases my skills and experience. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to boost their job search.

I had a terrible resume and way of going about the whole process incorrectly.
Their direct but caring approach was a breath of fresh air. They assisted me not where I wanted but where I needed help. Only someone with experience and a deft understanding of people can do that.
If you are a job seeker, I would recommend this course. You will not regret it.

About our coaching...
Back in employment within 4 weeks and 2 interviews
When I recently lost my job, Mark helped me re-evaluate my position in the job market. He talked honestly to me about where I was and where I needed to be and helped me see beyond the bereavement I felt in that moment. I was back in employment within 4 weeks and 2 interviews. My redundancy payment was now a 'bankable bonus' as he put it and I haven't looked back since. Mark always made time to take my calls and settle my nerves and fears. Truly grateful for his kind, direct, honest and realistic views on the world. Can't recommend highly enough.

It’s rare that someone can display exceptional product knowledge, give truly honest feedback but yet be 100% approachable. Without doubt, they’re right up there in an industry that all too often falls short on its promises. True professionals, in a sometimes very unprofessional world.

I chose career coaching to ensure I was comfortable about how to give answers to interview questions. It gave me the confidence to proceed to final interview stage. It's been an excellent experience and I got a great new role.

Don't wait any longer
I highly recommend their support. They taught me how to perfect my job-hunt process, to keep records organised and see the job-hunt in an objective manner (especially during those days that seem there's no progress). Don't wait any longer, drop them a line.

Well it was one great experience, Mark always knew when and how to do things. Like seriously his mentoring is invaluable, and he never promises anything that he cannot fulfil. Rest assured, if you follow his recommendations at every stage, you will get there. Loved how things were rolling ‘as he usually says and would recommend indeed.

I can't thank Amanda enough! I'd always landed interviews but never the job—my nerves would get the best of me every time. After just a couple of sessions with Amanda, I went into my next interview feeling calm and confident, and I nailed it! I’m thrilled to say I finally got the job, and it's all thanks to her expert advice and support. Highly recommend her to anyone struggling with interview anxiety.
