Mike was a huge help and resource for me throughout the turbulent process of securing a graduate job post my Masters’ degree. Beginning with providing advice on my CV content and structure and helping with finding job opportunities and then progressing on to helping research specific companies I applied for and aiding with interview practice by thinking of possible questions, Mike helped me to feel prepared and ready to face the entire application process. Crucially, his supportive and personalised approach meant that I always felt able to talk to Mike about any issues I was having with applications, and this helped to give me the confidence to succeed and secure my graduate role and I wish to thank Mike again for his invaluable support.

Hi Mike, I have some good news! KPMG have offered me a job on their ‘People Consulting Graduate Scheme’ starting September in London. It was all a blur suddenly getting notified about a numerical test followed by the online assessment centre shortly after (last Wednesday). The notes which I had taken during the workshops were invaluable, together with the confidence you gave me. I can’t thank you enough. Best wishes

I’ve known Mike for many years in a professional capacity so jumped at the chance to engage him when my son graduated and started to look for his first step on the career ladder.

Mike very quickly gained the confidence of my son by empathising with his goals and aspirations whilst also dishing out the cold realities of the employment market. He never sugar coated anything and always left my son motivated and enthusiastic to follow his guidance and recommendations. However, Mike was at his most effective when the inevitable knock-backs and rejections occurred. He re-installs confidence and determination and is equally effective when helping to prepare for interviews and assessment centres.

Mike also has a sharp understanding of how young executives get hired and what employers look for in CV’s and covering letters whilst having a manner which connects well with young people.

Overall, Best Talent is a go coaching business which is truly effective and very reasonably priced.

Thank you Mike.

Mike has been instrumental in helping me secure an amazing job opportunity. Looking for a job in a pandemic is not easy, but the help Mike gave me ensured that I was able to perform at my best during the interview process. Mike did this by looking at my CV as well as the job description, from this he came up with questions that I might be asked during the interview, as well as ideas about questions that I should ask the interviewer. This meant that during the interview I felt relaxed and confident, which ensured I was able to give it my best shot and stand out from the other candidates. Thanks again Mike!
