MATTHEW JENKINS

Career Strategist for Humanitarian & Development Professionals

Certified Executive and Management Coach

With more than 30 years of experience leading multinational teams, I have reviewed thousands of CVs and applications and conducted hundreds of interviews to recruit staff for international organisations.

I’ve often seen that candidates struggle to showcase their strengths and skills effectively and can sometimes lack the tools needed to approach the recruitment process alone.  I enjoy sharing my perspective from the other side of the table, helping to ensure that good candidates are not overlooked.

My approach is centred not only on helping you better understand what recruiters are looking for, but also in helping you to identify your unique value and how best to present this. After all, selection should not be based on an applicant’s ability to navigate a challenging recruitment process on their own, but rather the qualities and impact they can bring to a role.

By helping you more clearly articulate your career history and key achievements we can better communicate your potential to future employers. It’s about marrying what you offer to match their needs.

"I had the good fortune to work under Matthew's supervision at the beginning of my career.
Without his mentoring and advice, I would not be where I am today.
He is a person who practices what he preaches. Not only is he able to provide advice, but he has also done the things he talks about.
Years later, I still draw on the experience and knowledge gained under his supervision."

"I first met Matthew during my Master's program when my career was about to start. His knowledge, support, and guidance have been critical for me in preparing my applications, CV and cover letter, and to present myself in an effective manner to potential employers.
Matthew has definitely been the first important mentor in my international career.''
