Our Customer Stories

"Job hunting can be a stressful time. Statia made the whole process much more manageable with her wealth of experience. Her guidance for my CV was invaluable and the practice interview questions really settled my nerves before beginning interviewing again after 5 years. I am delighted to say, I was successful in my interview and progressing in my IT career"

C Harper,
Head of Engineering
"Through her experience, Statia was able to give competent advice in all elements of my CV. From my own experience, it was clear that she has a solid understanding of what employers look for in a CV. After taking Statia's advice on board, I was fortunate enough to be offered 3 teaching jobs in the one week (one which I accepted and continue to work in) and continued to be called for interviews in other schools afterwards. If you want your CV to stand out, I really couldn't recommend Statia enough"

J Byrne,
Primary School Teacher
"Statia provided me with invaluable guidance at a time when I was at a crossroads in my career. She acted as a great sounding board and her interview tips were really helpful. I highly recommend a coaching session with Statia to empower you to make that decision, if you are at a crossroads in your career"

E O’Dwyer,
HR Assistant
"It was so hard and daunting trying to update a CV, something that I haven't done for years and you wouldn't be up to date with the required wording or layout. It was so helpful when Statia looked at my skills, education and working experiences. She worded them perfectly and added a brief synopsis at the top of the CV. Statia took a lot of the stress away from me. I wouldn't have known where to start. She also gave me great ideas and support for interviews. I feel her help and support was so professional coming from her experienced background. I came away confident and ready to put myself out there."
