“Having worked in one place for almost 7 years, I needed a fresh view and professional advice in drafting a revamped profile for my CV, to be able to see where I could go further in my pursuit of an international career. Matthew provided me with a very insightful assessment, bringing out and making visible the actual results and impact of my work for each of the organizations I have been employed with. The advice he has given me on my career outlook and profile presentation was truly invaluable. Apart from making me feel more confident in my skills and experience, it spurred me on to take action, and within 4 months I received a new job offer, fully aligned with my career aspirations, and which I accepted.”

“I thought I knew about CV building after the career counselling sessions which comes with three degrees, but applying to international organizations can at times seem like another language. Matthew helped make sense of the job landscape and identified positions that would offer greater chances of landing an interview. He also helped identify areas to improve my CV to apply for specific internships, and I saw immediate results. After completing my internship, Matthew helped leverage my skills to negotiate a long-term position with the same office. I would recommend Matthew’s services to everyone, no matter where they are in their job search, from general internships to those navigating a longer-term professional position.

“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 to learn to focus on preparing my applications, CV and cover letter, and to present myself, my skills and knowledge, in an effective manner to potential employers. A few years and jobs later, I find I continue to use those principles whenever I apply for a job. Also, when now involved in recruitment processes, I pay much attention to how candidates prepared their applications and a good CV and cover letter have an impact on my decision-making. Matthew has definitely been the first important mentor I came across in my international career.”

“Working with Matthew was one of the best decisions I ever made. He helped me identify my professional strengths and improve the presentation of my skills to best reflect my achievements. I really enjoyed our work together; his work methodology made it feel so easy. It was crucial for me in understanding how to adapt and improve my CV, thank you so much!”

“International Development is both a broad and a competitive field; a combination which makes it a daunting career to embark on. Having only just begun my studies with little idea of what professional opportunities they would lead to in the future, I became increasingly concerned that my skills and experience were insufficient to lend me the internship or work experience I would need to enter the development sector. Matthew took the time to thoughtfully look over my CV and help me rewrite it to highlight what I already have to offer and the further relevant knowledge my studies will bring me in a way that made them sound valuable to the organizations I was applying to. He also guided me in drafting a distinctive cover letter, by using his insight and experience to dissect it from the perspective of the employer. I would highly recommend Matthew’s services to anyone seeking to improve their professional portfolios, or to build confidence based on their existing talents and accomplishments.”
