Sophie L (Animal Welfare Student)

"Thank you so much for helping me with my CV. This has been such a stressful experience until I spoke to you. Your advice has been super helpful.  I am so pleased to let you know I have secured an interview"

Kim C (Parent to Uni Student)

"From the moment my daughter began working with Claire, it was evident that she was in capable hands. She took the time to understand my daughter's strengths, skills, and aspirations, and tailored her guidance accordingly. She provided personalised assistance with crafting a professional CV that highlighted my daughter's accomplishments and experiences effectively. She conducted mock interviews, providing constructive feedback and invaluable tips for improving her interview performance. Claire helped my daughter build confidence and poise, ensuring she was well-prepared for any interview situation. I am incredibly grateful for Claire's support and expertise throughout this process."

Sianne L (Business  Student)

"My experience with Claire has been so motivational . She has not only helped me look for jobs that are suited to my skills and experience but has also encouraged me to really believe in myself. As a second year business management student- it is hard to sit down and carry out an application when you have no idea where to start. But with Claire, she helped make the process easy and an exciting start!"

Ellie S (Parent to Yr12 Student)

"I just wanted to say a huge thank you and Jane in delivering your Launchpad course to my son. 

​

You coaching him through his strengths, interests and achievements was invaluable to him thinking clearly about what he wants to do next. With UCAS just around the corner, this was so well timed to set him up to do the right thing.

​

I think he’s learned a lot about himself and has been much more motivated to plan ahead than he was before. 

​

From a parent’s perspective, l’m so happy you have echoed and more importantly, enhanced the advice I’ve always tried to give him. I now feel we can have much more productive conversations about his future and I can support him in the right way based on what he has learned about himself."
