What people say
‘Chris has been a great support to me through the past few months. He was a coached to me, helping me prepare for a new career chapter, and navigate the current recruiting landscape after a gap of ~20 years. We covered a lot in just a few sessions over a few weeks and I came out with confidence and tools (updated CV, social media profiles, emails, key messages) ready for myself to take my job search forward and independently. He was very engaging and approachable during our Zoom sessions and email follow-ups. I would highly recommend Chris to anybody looking to pivot to their next career chapter. This is so much easier for me after taking the first steps with Chris’
