After working for 10 years in the family hotel business I wanted to find something else to do. I knew Maria because she had successfully helped one of my children with her university applications. We first started working together to establish what my next career step would be. Maria listened carefully to my points and helped me clarify my values, motivations and strengths. This process helped me clarify what my ideal next job would be. In my case this was working as an officer in an educational setting. We identified the skills necessary for those roles and identified two areas I required further training to be successful in my applications. Maria then worked with me to prepare a successful CV, application, cover letter and reference for an officer role at the Institute of Education (the world’s leading centre for education and applied social science) .

“Maria helped me with my postgraduate application to UCL and Warwick University- both were successful. When I finished the personal statement I was surprised how much my personal statement had improved and from struggling to find what to write with the help of Maria I was able to find examples that demonstrated my entrepreneurial spirit, leadership, team working and organisation skills. She also helped me to write a professional CV. I really enjoyed working with Maria, discussing about my past and clarifying and putting in paper my future career plans.
IML, MSc in Innovation and Entrepreneurship at UCL.”

As a result of her help I was offered the post.
