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!

I think the discussion around interviews was particularly good, in terms of practical tips that might seem obvious having interviewed a lot of people but definitely aren’t obvious coming straight out of school or university! I thought the ability to draw on real examples from both your and Helen’s experience made it feel a lot more tangible and relatable. A good overview of the process of applying to jobs and helped reduce some of the uncertainty that can be involved. Thanks

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.

I worked with Mike to finally take a jump in the deep end in the overcrowded pool of Marketing – landing in my dream role. As an anxious graduate in the middle of a pandemic, he truly made my dreams turn into a reality. Surpassing my expectation, he provided me with such a personal recruitment experience. Giving me clear and concise tips and tricks to put my application process at the top of the pile. Not only that, but he provided me with the knowledge to win over my interviewers – something I had many of but couldn’t quite grasp how to stay at the forefront of the company’s minds. As well as this, he provided me with support every step of the way. He was professional and knowledgeable and I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking to make the next big step in their career or who are looking to develop their CV, portfolio or interview techniques.
