OUR EMPLOYABILITY OFFER

A collaborative effort, so that you'll know how to do it next time.

The Discovery Call

Not sure where to begin your job search? Our Discovery Call is the perfect first step. This friendly, focused consultation helps you understand exactly what support you need, whether that’s improving your CV, strengthening your interview skills, or learning how to navigate the job market more effectively.

CV Crafting

Employers spend only seconds scanning a CV. Our approach ensures every section works hard for you — from your personal profile to your achievements and key skills. You’ll learn how to communicate your value clearly and confidently, giving you a competitive edge in your job search.

Cover Letter Writing

Employers want to understand not just what you’ve done, but why you’re the right fit. Our approach helps you communicate your motivation clearly and confidently, making it easier for hiring managers to see your potential.

Application Form Support

This is a fully collaborative session. We don’t simply tell you what to write, we teach you how to interpret competency‑based questions, and communicate your achievements effectively. By the end, you’ll have a polished application form and the skills to complete future forms independently.

Interview Skills Coaching

This is a practical, interactive session where we work with you to refine your answers, strengthen your delivery, and build your confidence. Through mock interview questions, real‑time feedback, and tailored coaching, you learn how to present your experience with clarity and impact.

Job Search Techniques

This is a collaborative, hands‑on session where we work with you to refine your search approach, identify the best platforms for your goals, and build a personalised action plan. You’ll learn how to target the right roles, avoid common pitfalls, and create a structured job‑search routine that keeps you moving forward.
