Testimonials
“I would highly recommend Julie’s services. She helped me to review both my CV and LinkedIn profile. She was able to do a deep dive into my career and draw out the skills I’d acquired over the years to form an updated CV. Her insights into what employers need to see from your CV and LinkedIn profile helped me to build my confidence and put myself out there. After working for the same company for 20 years, it was scary to think I was going to be back on the jobs market, but Julie was able to put my mind at rest through her reassuring approach. Thank you so much Julie I really appreciate the time you spent working with me!”
