Testimonials
“I just wanted to write and say a big thank you for all your help and support. Having someone who was skilled and qualified to help me work through my transition and find something that wasn’t just another job but would be a long term career move has been great..It’s very easy for people to rush from one job to another without thinking through their long term goals and objectives or marrying together their personal and professional priorities. The service really helped me reflect and work out what I wanted to do and then provided support in terms of pulling together a marketing plan to help me get there.
I wish I had done all this 10 years ago! I started my new job yesterday and I hope to be there a very long time"

"After a four hour 2nd interview on Friday I am delighted to say I have just had a call offering me the job and at the top end of the salary range.
This is fantastic news and I would like to thank you for all your help and support because without a doubt it is thanks to my time with you that I was able to shine in the interviews."

"Thanks very much for organising the workshop on Friday last. It was an excellent session, providing a huge range of tools and processes by which to create a CV, approach the marketplace, network effectively and prepare for interviews. I now feel that, rather than being overwhelmed by everything, I have a manageable - and inspiring - project plan for finding work. All in all, I felt it was an invaluable day."

“.......I would love it if you could come and see the business I have created so that I can thank you personally for all the help and guidance you gave me after leaving Goldman and was trying to find my way. You really helped me tremendously and I really value your help.”

“Sue visited our team for an introductory one day session which proved extremely beneficial. We are all at a career crossroad and with Sue’s help we were able to assess our current skills. She was very calm and listened to all of our fears and concerns, and by the end of the day we all realised that we have more to offer than we ever imagined. We can’t wait for the next session! Thanks Sue”

"I was in my last year of school, aiming to get a place on an internship scheme for my gap year at top accountancy and business firms. My experience just scraped the minimum requirements and the competition was very fierce. I got to the interview stage but lacked interview technique so decided to get some help and found Sue Gouldman.
Sue showed me how to answer questions clearly and concisely. Using a variety of methods she was able to pick out where I went wrong, then with practice I was able to approach any question.
Not only that, but thanks to Sue I have gained much needed confidence and am now able to excel beyond my peers.
Thanks to sessions with Sue I passed the interview and group stages of the next company that came up and will be starting on the IBM internship scheme this September.
Thank you very much Sue, I am grateful beyond words."

“I just wanted to let you know my news. Last time I spoke to you I was about to attend my second interview.....and I found out yesterday that I have been successful and have been offered the position of Deputy Head of Biological Services.
I am so chuffed and still pinching myself to make sure I'm not dreaming! I had some lovely feedback from the interview panel. They said I was confident, came across really well and have impressed the Vice President.
After being selected for redundancy I have really fallen on my feet and I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the support and advice you have given me over the weeks and the interview practice - it obviously paid off! I have also had some great feedback on my new CV and again thanks to you for helping me with it. I really do appreciate everything you have done to help me.”
Karen B., GlaxoSmithKline
"Sue's positive energy is infectious and her ability to make you believe in yourself is inspiring. Her knowledge and expertise are invaluable. The practical advice she is able to give, ranging from highlighting the best aspects of your CV to bringing out the best "you" in an interview, is very comprehensive and has been a big factor in the success of my job search. I have no hesitation in recommending the service that she can provide.
Once again, thank you for your help. I do feel that it made all difference."

"Thank you for all your help. My CV generated the interest on Monster for an agency to approach me and put me forward for the role. The rest was up to me but I don't think I would have got the opportunity without your help. I am looking forward to starting my new job on Monday.
Many thanks again."

Judy F., NLP Practitioner and Image Consultant
“Thank you for your support to me over the past 2.5 months - it has been particularly helpful to have such an empathetic and constructive sounding board during the process. My experience has been a very positive one enabling me to get some real benefits out of a period in my career which could have been extremely difficult. I feel I have a much better understanding of what I have to bring to the party and what motivates me and drives my career and my personal life. Also, in more ways than one, I have a better CV!
Many thanks for your help and support."
Helen B., Accenture
“Sue has a very professional approach to counselling and careers advice. She was able to make me recognise my own potential and give me the confidence to overcome any problems I had during the job search. If not for her I would not be in the position that I now find myself. I would recommend her services to anyone.”
Margaret P., Taylor Woodrow Construction
“After a lot of soul-searching, application writing and interviewing, my job search is over and I start my new job as Transport Planner next week. I would like to thank you very much for the help and advice you gave. Your energy and enthusiasm certainly helped.”
John M., Public Sector
"I met Sue Gouldman as a result of my department's positions being made redundant following a strategic review within GlaxoSmithKline. This resulted in myself and another 30 people being out of work. I have been impressed by the insight that Sue has brought to me and my staff. Her knowledge, coaching abilities and sheer professionalism have taken many people through the trauma of redundancy and back into work quickly under trying economic circumstances. For many of them, Sue's input has resulted in positive career changes to jobs which people really want to do.
I am personally grateful for Sue's support and would recommend her to others in similar circumstances."
