Jean advised me on the recruitment process in various blue chip companies including rewriting my CV.
I have found her extremely knowledgeable about successfully applying for senior jobs and getting that first interview. She has high integrity, gives no nonsense advice and has a great understanding of what makes a CV interesting to recruiters. I’ve particularly liked her ability to carefully listen to a person’s situation, aspirations and strength before putting together well thought-through recommendations to unlock that extra potential especially from your CV. Jean’s support was invaluable. I can highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a senior role in a leading company who wants to stand out from the crowd.
