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 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

Hi Mike hope you are well? Just wanted to let you know today I got an offer for a Digital Marketing role starting in a few weeks!! The contract isn’t going to come through for a couple of weeks. I just wanted to say a massive thank you for all the work you’ve done for me over the past few months, I wouldn’t have got to this stage without you 🙂

I had a number of video calls with Mike where we thoroughly covered answers for a variety of questions that could be asked at the interview stage as well as what to do if I was asked a question that I wasn’t expecting so that I could remain calm and answer it competently. My self-confidence going into the interview had been greatly increased thanks to Mike, acknowledging that I knew how to answer all types of questions that could potentially arise. Thanks to Mike I passed the interview stage and was overjoyed to receive a call offering me a place at my dream flight school.
