Katie Roberts Career Consulting

"My time with Drew, after being retrenched from a company I’d been with for 21 years, was enormously helpful. In our discussions he was conscious of taking into account my uncertainty about what I wanted for the future, and what would work best for me. Drew was able to determine where I would be most successful and give me confidence and tools to search out what I’d be good at. I can certainly recommend the services he provided and Drew personally. I think when you leave what can be a stressful outplacement consultation with a smile on your face, that says it all."

Hi Fiona and Jackie,

Just a short note to let you know I've been working now for two weeks and just received my first paycheck this week. The resume stood out and after receiving it, my employer called straight away. I met with them the next day and then at that interview, they asked me when I could start. My new role is office manager/guest services for Company X. I love it so far. It was the first job I applied for so that was a buzz. Thanks again to both of you.

Drew, I just wanted to say thank you for all the help you’ve given me over our two meetings. Your advice on "life after redundancy" and how to go about finding a new job for myself has been invaluable. The interview skills we went over yesterday have given me more confidence. Thank you also for the professional resume. So many thanks for all you’ve done and I’ll let you know when I find a job.

Hi Helen,

I wanted to let you know that I got the job at Company X. This is the one you helped me with and I wanted to thank you again for spending that valuable time with me, going through interview techniques and scenarios. Your help paid off as the interview went really well (that was a first for me!). I felt relaxed and confident and funnily enough I knew I had got the job before the interview ended. Two days later I was offered the position and have been in the role now for 4 months (and I'm very happy). Anyway, thank you once again for your help! I couldn't have done it without you.

To Whom It May Concern,

I just wanted to write a few lines to explain why I have been so pleased with my 2 sessions with Katie Roberts consultant Leah Lambart. These sessions were part of my redundancy package from an engineering consultancy firm, and I found them immensely beneficial. Having been with the same company since my graduate days some 10 years ago, I have not kept up to date with the latest in resume writing or interviewing. Leah tailored the sessions to my needs, was thorough, perceptive and genuinely passionate about helping me. She coached me in a range of areas with insightful advice on how to enhance my LinkedIn profile, resume and interviewing skills in keeping with today’s much more competitive job market. Leah went beyond and above the call of duty - using her many contacts to get detailed information and emailing me a synopsis after each session. The breadth of her careers knowledge is evident not only in the quality of her advice, but also her professional yet engaging manner. As a result of Leah’s guidance, I am actually enjoying and feeling confident about forging my career path forward. I have no hesitation in recommending Leah - under the umbrella of Katie Roberts consultants - to any professional who wishes to boost their career prospects.

Hi,

I just wanted to let you know that I found the session today with Drew really valuable. He was very helpful and easy to talk to and gave some great advice. I really recommend everyone involved in this process having a chat with him, even if they don't think they need to. Thanks so much for organising this. Drew was a great choice!

Hi Leah,

After 3 interviews, tests and a medical I have been offered the position. I sincerely thank you for the great interview coaching and career advice you gave me, especially in regard to preparing for the interview and the LinkedIn profile writing tips as these really made a difference to how I approached the whole process.

Hi Kendal,

I have just accepted a written offer from Company X and start next Monday. Very exciting! Thanks very much for the follow up and your fantastic support along the way. Your belief in me and your practical help with resume, interview tips, social media, etc. were just what I needed. The LinkedIn endorsements were the least I could do for you. All the best Kendal and I will stay in touch.

"I chose to take the opportunity of participating in the Outplacement Program offered as part of my redundancy package just to get a quick review of my resume, as I was very sceptical of the usefulness of this service. After just 2 sessions with Drew I am eating humble pie and am compelled to write this testimony as my eyes have been opened to a world of possibilities in my hunt for a new job! Drew was pragmatic, empathetic and his vast experience helped streamline my job hunt strategy significantly. I found the interview skills training surprisingly helpful and have a new level of motivation and confidence in my search for a job matched to my skills, experience and interests."

"Kendal was a fantastic support to me after being made redundant and provided me with the fantastic information and resources to shape my thinking on what direction I wanted to take my career in. Kendal provided knowledge, encouragement and assistance with updating my CV. I would highly recommend utilising Kendal’s expertise."

"I worked with Company X for over 14 years till recently when the role was made redundant. I had the pleasure of meeting Anna Fleming to help me with my resume, Job Interviews Process and other related preparations. The first time I met Anna, I felt really good and more at ease and calm because the interview went in such a positive, friendly and professional manner. The following meetings, telephone calls and all related correspondence were nothing short of exceptional. I believe Anna is a great asset to your organisation and I commend her for her expertise. I thank her from the bottom of my heart for her professionalism. Thank you for an excellent experience and I wish your organisation and your staff all the best of success and prosperity. I would not hesitate to recommend you in the future."

Hi Julie and Debbie,

I just wanted to send my extremely positive feedback on last week’s career transition workshop. Thank you both SO MUCH for putting together such an easy, well structured, and informative workshop. The team responded extremely well to the content and were so engaged – more engaged than I’ve ever seen them. And Julie, thank you for reading their attitude and outlook and for engaging them so well – you really connected with the team and they learned some invaluable skills for life. So from all of us – thank you again for tailoring this package to us and the team! Very much appreciated.

To Whom it May Concern

This is just a short email to express my gratitude for Anna’s assistance in the transitional process of my redundancy to a new position with a different company. Anna has been a real pleasure to deal with during this time, she has been prompt and clear in discussing my options, often giving me another way to think about the situation and the courage to consider different routes and alternative careers, which I had never thought of before.

Anna is incredibly knowledgeable and very friendly and her work on my CV and Cover Letter was excellent. Her way of communicating the ways in which I can stand out from the crowd and how to answer the most common interview questions, without sounding like I was trying to be someone else was so insightful and I really felt that she understood not only my situation but who I am, and tailored the sessions to suit me. I would absolutely recommend your organisation and Anna of course again.

Hi Debbie,

Hope you’re well! Just wanted to give you some positive feedback about Leah Lambart - she was amazing, confirmed what I know and gave me more insights as well. I feel quite inspired and energised after our meeting. She’s great - such a smart lady, with a very nice manner.

Hi Catriona,

Just wanted to update you on the interview I went for last week. I smashed it thanks to you and was offered the role. I was well prepared and strong in my capabilities and worth. It’s the first time I’ve gone into an interview NOT nervous - and I think that’s thanks to you. Thank you so much it was so nice working with you.
