Project Management Career Clinics
Project Management Career Clinics - Feedback
The Project Management Careers Clinic from Arras People provides a unique, cost effective, 30 minute one-on-one consultation with a project management professional where you can discuss any aspect of your career.
Don't just take our word for it, below are some comments from people who have used the service;
-
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.
-
Honest, productive advice on how better I could present my skills and achievements within my CV. I also received some invaluable guidance on which roles I would be best suited to.
-
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.
-
Thank you once again for your time and feedback since I spoke to you in the Careers clinic last week. I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate all your advice and suggestions for improvement to my CV considering I was going to spend nearly £450 on a professional CV writing service!
-
Further to our 'career clinic' telephone appointment yesterday, I am writing to thank you for all your advice and guidance on embarking on a career in project management. I found the session very productive and informative and you talked very honestly and openly for which I am very grateful
-
Thanks so much for your help that has definitely proved useful. I will now intensify my applications with this new approach and see if things improve.
-
John gave me a direction to my career in the UK, the one aspect I was struggling to understand for very long
-
What did you get out of the session? Insight into how my CV could be improved and where I should be heading career-wise. I also felt comfortable with the constructive criticism and appreciated Nicola's honesty.
-
What attracted you to use this service?: The fact that it was there (I've not seen a similar service anywhere else) and the value for money
-
It was a really good investment of time & money. Its such a competitive market at the moment that the advice given may just make the difference. Lindsay was able to advise me from a recruiters point of view and from her experience within a PMO environment. It meant that my questions were answered from both sides, which was really useful. It has helped to clarify the best possible way to 'showcase' what your talents are to a prospective recruiter/employer
-
What did you get out of the session?: Better understanding of what employers look at/for on CV. Improved layout and areas of focus. General better appreciation of what might be out there.
-
Thanks for all your help - it has been great and my "new" CV seems to be generating a lot of interest. I have been recommending the Clinic to people at work, as it was worth every penny!
