Imagine dedicating your entire professional life to one company.
Over a decade of loyalty, deep knowledge of one particular environment… but feeling that itch, knowing it’s time for something completely different.
That’s the position my long-time friend, Glenn, found himself in. After years with the same employer, the time had come for a new challenge.
A CV That Reflected His Experience
Glenn is incredibly experienced, but his CV didn’t reflect that depth. He shared a very professional-looking one-pager, but it summarised his extensive career into just four bullet points.
It looked neat, but it wasn’t selling the wealth of experience and skills he possessed. We knew immediately we had to fix that.
We worked together to unpack his career, identifying key achievements and transferable skills that might not have seemed obvious after so long in one place.
I restructured and rewrote his CV, transforming it from a brief overview into a compelling narrative showcasing his value and impact.
The results? Immediate and impressive. Glenn applied for three distinct roles using his new CV and secured interviews for all three!
Another interview opportunity arose directly from a connection Glenn made during a group coaching session I had hosted, proof that networking combined with preparation pays off.
Preparation and a New Role
With interviews on the horizon, the next hurdle was preparation. Coincidentally, I was hosting a free webinar focused specifically on Interview Preparation techniques.
Glenn attended and was a star pupil, absorbing the strategies on how to effectively prepare and present himself.
He put his learning into practice straight away.
He aced his interview with the public sector organisation! He successfully secured the role and started his new job in mid-March.
What’s truly remarkable is the timeframe: just six weeks elapsed from Glenn deciding to take action and stepping into his exciting new role.
As his friend and career coach, seeing him make such a successful transition fills me with pride. Well done Glenn! You should be really proud.
