It’s always amazing to work with a client to achieve career-changing results. I’ve been working with Jason for 18 months and the engagement has been very valuable. Thanks so much Jason for sharing your experience!
What were you experiencing before engaging Ben?
Before I started working with Ben, my job search was an incredibly frustrating and confidence-draining experience. While it was challenging just to land an interview in the first place, I would consistently fall through at the final stage, leaving me without an offer. This constant cycle of near-misses really knocked my confidence and left me feeling completely unsure about my career path. Losing my job during Covid and then only securing a short-term contract afterward just amplified that feeling of desperation.
How did this make you feel?
It made me feel incredibly frustrated and desperate, unclear of my career path. My confidence took a huge hit because no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t seem to land a job offer, even after getting to the last stage of interviews. This was especially tough as I was trying to change careers, and it really made me doubt my decision to pivot. Overall, it was a really tough and emotionally taxing time.
What changed after working with Ben?
Complete transformation in my approach and mindset. Ben’s two-pillar approach – focusing on both job and business – became a guiding principle that brought immense clarity and a strategic path forward.
What specific results can you share?
He completely overhauled my resume, making it highly effective and helping me identify my transferable skills which I hadn’t properly leveraged before. I landed a job, and then had the confidence to move into an even better role. Beyond employment, I’ve successfully incorporated a company alongside my employment, turning my entrepreneurial dreams into a reality. My confidence has soared across the board.
What would you say to somebody on the fence about trying Career Coaching?
Do it. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about your next steps, Ben provides invaluable clarity and practical strategies. He possesses a unique ability to listen empathetically but isn’t afraid to tell you directly when you’re on the wrong track, which is exactly what I needed. His approach helped me cut through the clutter, focus on what truly matters, and empowered me to take effective action. It’s an investment that’s paid dividends in both my career progression and my personal confidence.
Is there anything else you’d like to share about Ben?
Ben’s greatest strength in my experience is his combination of keen listening and direct, honest feedback. He genuinely cares and understands my struggles, but he’s also brilliant at weeding out the noise and helping me focus on actionable steps. This balance was crucial for me.
