Testimonials

I am so grateful for the support I received from the coaches at Project Placed.

Not only did they share practical guidance on my resume and LinkedIn profile, but they helped to build my confidence and self-belief in a tough job market.

Jenny McMaster is particularly exceptional and gave me the coaching I needed to interview successfully and subsequently receive a fantastic job offer. I cannot overstate the value of Project Placed to job seekers. I have been telling everyone I know about this incredible charity!

After seven months of job hunting filled with hope, disappointment, and feeling like a failure, Beth from Project Placed created a safe space where I could be completely open about my struggles.

Beth helped me identify my strengths, explore roles matching my skills, stay positive through knockbacks, and gain valuable industry insights. Despite making it to the final two candidates for four roles, something was still missing.

The breakthrough came when Beth helped me refine my STAR responses and articulate my personal point of difference with more targeted, impactful statements. I credit these changes as the key to finally landing a great role.

I’m so grateful for Beth’s guidance and expertise, and to Project Placed for offering such an amazing free service. I’ve already been recommending them to everyone in my network who’s looking for work. Beth truly made a difference in my journey – thanks doesn’t seem to say enough!

Having concluded a job search spanning several months, I have accepted a position that is well-aligned with my career objectives and family obligations! I am immensely grateful for the unwavering support provided by Project Placed throughout this process, particularly as I navigated the complexities of the job market in recent months. Edwina has been an exceptional mentor, offering consistent encouragement and insightful guidance. Her professional advice, informed by decades of industry experience, proved to be invaluable. I also greatly appreciated the networking opportunities she facilitated. Thank you so much!

I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for the opportunity to participate in a mindset coaching session with James Grant. At the time, I was actively exploring full-time opportunities but hadn’t yet landed on the what, where, or how. I found myself struggling with motivation and confidence, which led me to sign up for the course.

That single hour with James turned out to be pivotal. The session offered a sense of neutrality, objectivity, and grounded stability that was incredibly helpful. More than offering assurance, James helped me develop a strategy to interrogate my thoughts and beliefs—to determine what was truth versus perception, and how I could move forward with clarity.

I had several interviews lined up across different sectors, and this coaching helped me embrace the process without losing sight of what I truly valued and what energises me. I’m pleased to share that I have since accepted a role, and I credit this mindset work as being an important part of that journey.

Thank you to the Project Placed team for the thoughtful, meaningful work you do to support those navigating internal challenges and transitions. It truly makes a difference.

I got sound advice and interview practice which helped me land a great role. What I will remember for a long time though is feeling supported and optimistic after my sessions which during a long job search is everything.

Thank you so much to you all at ProjectPlaced for the support and patience in helping me secure a new job – returning a sector I left 10 years ago.

In particular, I’d like to thank Gayara and Rafael for arranging mock interviews at very short notice which were perfectly timed and boosted my confidence.

This was my first face-to-face interview in more than 10 years and I felt relaxed and confident.

I am so grateful to the former colleague who sent me in your direction.

I won’t hesitate to recommend ProjectPlaced to others.

Chantel has been amazing in our session to help with me with my career mindset, sharing her experience and listing out what I can work on in terms of my skill, interest, values’ inventories and my career goals and vision. I wish she would have more time so I could work with her on my progress, but I really appreciate her volunteer work helping job seekers like myself, who is unfortunately a new resident and is not eligible for Job Seeker (which requires a waiting period of 4 years).

Rowena was fantastic. She had gone to the trouble of pre-reviewing my resume and LinkedIn profile and had a number of useful, practical suggestions to make. But what I really appreciated was that she started the session asking me for my take on why I needed help,what I was after, and then shaped the session around that and kept referring back to it.

Great session with Barbara. This is my second one with Project Placed and I am amazed at how the advice is different and keeps building. I left again feeling more confident.

I’ve just had a new role confirmed. Finally!!!! It will have been close to a year looking and 8 months unemployed. I can’t thank you enough for the feedback and positive vibes. It has most definitely helped.

Thank you very much for the opportunity to speak with Kalyani. She was very thoughtful, supportive, and approachable. I gained valuable insights into interview preparation, effective job-seeking strategies, and optimising my LinkedIn profile. Kalyani’s expertise and genuine willingness to help made the session highly productive and encouraging. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for guidance!

I also think Project Placed is an amazing resource, and am confident it will benefit anyone on their career journey. Highly recommended!

I am super glad of having received the support of Kalyani prior to an important interview for me. Her knowledge and encouraging words, apart from the extra time she invested in me to clear all my doubts, did help me to face in a confident way my interview.

Sometimes you may have many tips on internet but it is more valuable receiving support from an experienced consultant.

Thank you very much for your time Kalyani! I truly recommend any professional struggling out there Project Placed services
