    Ali Ons

  • "Stephen was highly recommended to me by a friend and ex colleague. I was at a point in my career, employed but wanted a change and unsure of how to plan and make my next move. We covered a lot of ground during our one-to-one sessions, such as the purpose of me wanting to change my current job, what I would like to do, how to narrow it down so my search is more productive, scoring of new opportunities, interview techniques as well as writing my CV in the most effective way, with his 10-step system. Great coach and I would certainly recommend him."

    Jennifer K.

  • I was introduced to Career Mentor by a senior former colleague who had used them and told me how good Stephen was as a Career coach / mentor. I am so glad I did, Stephen was phenomenal. I thought I was pretty good at marketing myself but he took things to a whole new level, e.g. introducing me to the concept of "the Golden Arrows" and when and how to use them. The sessions I had were really were beneficial but more than that, the things I learnt from Stephen I am also successfully applying outside the work environment. I can’t recommend Stephen highly enough.
