I have always worked in government roles and found the application and interview process fairly straightforward and what I was doing was always getting me the job.  This pattern of success slowly started to change over the last couple of years and I was getting fewer, if any interviews at all.

I sought feedback regarding my applications and was advised that while my Resume was good and my experience extensive, I was apparently not ‘selling’ myself enough.  After some research on-line and speaking to various people, I decided to seek professional assistance.

I found Dr Edward Gifford’s Executive Career Move Program to be the answer and it turned my career around. As well as all the great material and advice I gained, I particularly learned to sell my transferrable skills in my CV and at the interview and how to set myself apart from all other applicants. Being Resume ready has also given me so much more confidence.

As a result of my interaction with Edward and his Executive Career Move Program, I am now successfully in a role I have been coveting for some time.  I now have the confidence to challenge myself and seek out roles that previously, I felt were out of my reach.  Through Edward’s program, I am planning further steps to enhance my career through an innovative approach, to my CV presentation, preparation for interview and pathways to achieving my career goals.

Dear Edward,

I would like to show my appreciation for your assistance through the period of my unemployment, due to redundancy from Baxter Healthcare Pty Ltd.

As you are aware, I held a position of Sales Specialist for Baxter Healthcare in Queensland from July 2006 until the acceptance of the redundancy proposal in January of this year, 2013. With the initial shock of my cessation of employment, you have made the transition into the next phase of my career easier with your openness for discussion and guidance through the process of application for that next roll.

Your listening ear also allowed me to discuss my thoughts and concerns about moving on from a roll that I was used to for the last six years. You have been able to re-format my resume to suit today’s requirements of prospective employers and tailor the resume to suit the pre-requisites required from the employers. You have better prepared me for the initial impact of an application for a position vacant and assisted with being organised for the potential questions that are asked through the interview process.

With your knowledge and expertise with personal as well as business coaching, you have boosted my confidence resulting in me quickly getting back into the workforce and enjoying a fruitful career within the Medical and Healthcare industry. Thanks to your help I now have a new position as Device Accounts Manager at Kimberley Clark Health Care.

Regards

Anthony Young, Device Accounts Manager at Kimberley Clark Health Care

This is one of the most comprehensive training courses that I have ever attended. I enjoyed the variety in the delivery of the course – (Theory, role play, involvement of participants coaching outside the ‘classroom’). The discussions that resulted when a query was raised were invaluable providing additional insights. Your reference to coaching examples was invaluable.

“Hi Edward, I want to express to you my thanks for both the personal and professional interest you took in me, which was a major contributing factor in me deciding to pursue a life that is more ‘on-purpose’ with my goals. I feel that this change in career is going to allow me to live more closely to how I want to live, and that all the things that are important to me, in each of the seven life accounts, will be realized, one by one. My purpose “Maximising Opportunity” has helped me to measure everything I do against a yardstick. I now always ask myself “Am I getting maximum value out of each thing I do/am?” These two words keep me on track in everything that I do and be.”
