Testimonial

Working with Christine and getting her advice on how to progress my career and present myself to employers was not rewarding and fun. She listened to my past experiences and helped me understand what was valuable to put forward for the specific job I was interested in. I received a vast understanding on how to sell myself to prospective employers and not to undersell myself skills and abilities. and grew in confidence The career guidance offered led me to secure a fantastic job in postproduction, which boosted my confidence. I can’t recommend Christine enough for her amazing career advice, as there is nothing but benefits.
