"Mick critiqued my CV, providing pointers on how best to present my Project management experience. The session help focus my mind on the types of position and at what level I should be applying for, but also help me set educational goals which best suited my future career."
With a background in engineering, manufacturing, higher education and the Third Sector I have a varied career upon which to draw in my clinics. I specialise in programme and project management roles covering all sectors and see the clinic as a mentoring opportunity where we will determine how you can best progress your career. If you are looking for a "magic solution" or sugar-coated review of your CV then perhaps you should look elsewhere.

"John's advice and commentary on my CV helped to focus my efforts on the areas of my CV that I need to clarify, rework and update. I found John to be extremely patient and thoughtful with his advice."
I have been involved in building and managing effective teams and recruiting personnel for many years. Drawing on my 30+ year career in manufacturing, professional services and latterly running Arras People I have a wide exposure to Programme and Project work across many sectors. If you want your "sales literature" to give you a competitive advantage or general advice about career development paths I would welcome your call. My style? Frank, honest and encouraging!

"John gave me a view of what a recruiter is looking for on a CV, and how to emphasise my skills rather than what I have delivered. Most useful."

"The half hour spent on the phone with Lindsay was invaluable. You always wonder what recruiters are looking for and what they think of your CV, but you rarely get the opportunity to find out. Lindsay was very thorough and completely honest. I'll have a more concise and focused CV after I implement Lindsay's suggestions."
"I'm quited pleased with the honest and candid opinion about my CV. I knew it wasn't well laid out, but couldn't put together the missing bits. Gary's advice really helped in identifying my selling points and also helped in understanding the proper layout and formatting to use on my CV."
Coming from a background in Project Coordination and PMO Support my clinics focus on helping candidates develop their CV’s to best reflect their capabilities in these areas. A fresh and objective opinion is always useful and this is what I deliver, along with advice and guidance on potential next steps and career / training options. As a candidate you should always be looking to grab and maintain the attention of the recruiter with your CV, so this is knowledge I pass on during the course of our conversation.
