I don’t think I realised quite how much my confidence had been affected until I started working with Gary.

My instinct was to rush straight into applications, but Gary made me stop and properly take stock first: what I’d achieved, what I was good at, where I’d added value, what I wanted next, and whether that particular application was actually the right thing for me.

My CV became stronger because I stopped underselling myself. My approaches became more confident. And through repeated interview practice, I learned how to talk about my achievements in a way that felt natural rather than uncomfortable.

Gary has an ability for knowing when you need challenging and when you simply need reminding that you’re actually rather good at what you do. I went into the process questioning myself and came out of it genuinely excited about what I could do next.
