“I had been searching for the right opportunity for 18 months which can make it quite difficult to stay positive but what really worked as the catalyst for me was the SMP Solutions Career Transition Masterclass.

The trouble with finding your ideal role is that it takes time and effort, we all want to just step into a new job or career path but it just doesn't work like that. If you do nothing else don't stop searching and don't stop investing in yourself.

The SMP Career Transition Masterclass was great as it allowed me a day out to focus on myself, my direction and keep the momentum of the job search going with new people to network with and share new ideas and areas to explore.

When the right opportunity comes up you need to be ready to take it which is where SMP can really help with their tailored career development solutions to help present yourself really well, such as one to one coaching on your interview skills.

My ideal job opportunity came along 2 months after I attended the SMP Career Transition Masterclass, which had renewed my confidence. I then called on Steve for his expert guidance and coaching skills to prepare me for my interview and get me into the right mindset to land the job I had been waiting for all this time.

Result –

I got the job and Steve was absolutely right that passion, drive, enthusiasm and a positive ‘can do attitude’ can win the day against more experienced competition, so      now have landed a great new job and fantastic opportunity to build my career in a blue chip organisation!
