Career Advice, Counselling & Coaching Melbourne

Jackie provided valuable thoughts, insights and encouragement which helped me focus and consolidate my thoughts about how I need to proceed in relation to my career.

Mark, Teacher

I would recommend Jackie without reservation

Jackie is a very compassionate and professional career coach who takes the time to carefully listen to her clients’ stories and their individual circumstances. I found her very supportive and understanding of my situation and she was also prepared to keep in touch and follow-up after our formal engagements. I would recommend Jackie without reservation.

Simon, Communications

You’ve given me confidence & courage to put myself back on track

The career counselling sessions have been extremely helpful in guiding me through this transition period. The interview coaching sessions were also an eye opener, I never knew that an elevator pitch could be articulated so elegantly and natural! You’ve given me confidence and the courage to put myself back on track and to find my next adventure. I would not have been as positive in this period without your kind words and guidance. I’m grateful and happy knowing that many more people who come after me will be benefiting from your sessions and find new courage to achieve their career goals.

Andrea, Marketing & Communications

I cannot sing your praise enough

Jackie, I wanted to let you know I got another role at a different company, and I couldn’t have done it without your help. I will be a Project Coordinator at company X. Your confidence in me led to me going for contract roles, which this one is, with the likelihood to go permanent after 12 months. I cannot sing your praises enough to my friends and colleagues.

Louise, Executive Assistant

Jackie’s session was so beneficial

Thank you so much Jackie, your session was most beneficial. I have a lot to think about and need to start my career action plan. I really needed guidance and you provided that which I am so grateful for.
thank you!

Tim, Analyst

I Would never have had the confidence even to organise an interview without your help

I came to see you for interview training a few months ago now and just wanted to let you know how helpful it has been. In the last couple of weeks I have been for 3 interviews and have succeeded in each. I am much more confident when being interviewed, and this must have come across. I can’t thank you enough. I have taken a job and am very excited to start. I would never have had the confidence even to organise an interview without your help. Also, I wanted to thank you for getting my resume in order. Both employers were impressed with the way it was written. We both know I can’t take all of the credit! Thanks again!

Thomas, I.T Specialist

I really appreciated your insight and advice

Thank you Jackie, I thought the session was excellent, we covered a lot of ground in a very short time and I really appreciated your insight and advice. I have been thinking a lot about our conversation and have spoken to a couple of trusted friends, I think the most valuable aspect was reminding myself that I have a lot of transferable skills and abilities, and many more options available to me than staying where I am. I was particularly interested in the idea of a ‘portfolio’ of different jobs/careers, I am going to do a lot more thinking and research around the different kinds of jobs I could be doing to support my longer term goals.

Linda, Finance & Banking

Our conversation was the most valuable aspect

Jackie’s session was excellent, we covered a lot of ground in a very short time and I really appreciated her insight and advice. Our conversation I think was the most valuable aspect – reminding myself that I have a lot of transferable skills and abilities, and many more options available to me than staying where I am.

Sarah, Hospitality Management

Thank you for your guidance and expertise

I just wanted to let you know that I have been offered the position at the university, so the drought has broken! I am quite sure that this session assisted in this outcome; it helped me to gain perspective on a few things, boosted my confidence a good deal and provided me with some additional interview strategies. I felt quite different at the interview – relaxed, positive and more confident in my abilities. So thank you for your guidance and expertise.

Lauren, Senior Academic Advisor

I would strongly recommend a career counsellor to anyone

I found the career counselling session extremely helpful and have had great success in my career path since. I have enrolled to do a Masters in Human Resource Management at Monash, which starts in a few weeks. I have also started working in an HR Assistant role. I love my new job and am really excited about starting my course. It’s great to finally have some direction in my career. I would strongly recommend a career counsellor to anyone who is unsure of what they want to do.

Jane, Administration

Thank you Jackie for providing me a high quality career and interview coaching. She helped me by advising different career options based on my personality. I recently accepted a job offer internally in my company and I am very happy about it. I highly recommend Jackie if you need a career coaching. She is approachable and has a calm voice.

Terrenz

My girlfriend put me on to Jackie a few weeks before contacting her. I was sceptical of going to a career coach but Jackie made the whole process feel so welcoming and reassuring. Jackie is an absolute professional and has 100% helped me map out the steps moving forward in my career after emigrating to Australia. I look forward to contacting Jackie again soon to tell her my progress. I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you Jackie. 

William

I wanted to say thank you for your coaching, the way you showed me how to approach job interviews and the style in which to answer the questions has been invaluable in my search and in building my confidence. 

Anna

Hi Jackie,

Thank you for your time and patience with me, I appreciate all you have done.
Look forward to keeping you informed of my progress.
Kind regards,

Karen

Thank you so much for a wonderful session on Wednesday. I got a lot out of it and feel like I’ve got a clearer direction on what I need to do. I’ve found it’s been beneficial to get an outsider’s perspective to guide me with some really great questions and insights.

I also think I just needed to hear that my transferable skills are valuable and to have the confidence to step into one of those creative roles that I’m already passionate and interested in!

I’m really looking forward to taking some time to sit down and go through the results and all the resources you’ve provided.

Thanks again Jackie

Gemma

Hi Jackie

A quick note to let you know I have secured a role as a maintenance manager for an established
food company, 15 mins from home, and paying 40% more than my current role/employer. The new employer runs operations between
6am and 5pm, 5 days a week as opposed to a 24/7 operation we are currently covering.

Thank you for your support and coaching. I gained some great insights to take me forward.

Kind Regards

Hi Chrissy,

Just wanted to let you know I have secured a position in a medical device company.
I will be involved in orthopaedics – in particular knee and hip replacements.
My main role will be assisting in the robotics that is now coming into surgery.
I hope this opportunity will allow me to use my existing clinical knowledge and experience in a different setting.
Many thanks for the role you played and the assistance you gave me in what was a confusing and stressful time.
