Phil Sterne | Career Transition Coach Opiniões 98

I am delighted that Phil was recommended to me, he has helped create a CV which I feel confident with and can tailor to use for the jobs I am applying for.
Phil took the time to understand my experience by talking through work scenarios and extract details from me that I hadn’t realised I had done. He was able to put the elements of my career into words clearly and concisely.
I feel far more confident with my CV and have no hesitation in recommending Phil.

Phil's expertise and guidance were crucial in securing several interviews and ultimately landing a job. His ability to identify and highlight my strengths and experiences on my CV was invaluable.

The interview preparation sessions were incredibly helpful in building my confidence and ensuring that I was fully prepared for any questions that might come my way. Phil's strategies and techniques, which he shared with me, were effective and enabled me to make a great impression on the hiring managers.

I highly recommend Phil's coaching and CV writing services to anyone seeking to improve their job search prospects.

I approached Phil as I knew I needed help with my out of date CV but was too close to the subject matter to know where to start! Phil's approach was fantastic, after an introductory call we had a couple of deep-dive sessions on my experience but also focused on what I wanted to land as my next role. Phil was very consultative in his approach, he shared drafts and really ensured that he included my voice in the output.

Phil ran an engaging session for members within my HR Club - you'd think we'd know all the tips considering we look at CVs all day! But Phil shared insights that helped us consider things differently and put more focus on the reader's experience.

I recently had my CV and LinkedIn profile updated by Phil and I am extremely impressed with the results. Not only did Phil capture my professional experience and accomplishments effectively, but he also provided valuable insight and suggestions for improvement. I highly recommend Phil's services to anyone looking to refresh their job search materials.

I was recommended Phil by a friend of mine, I had worked at the same company for many years and had never produced a CV !
Phil arranged a meeting with me, we went through all my previous history and roles including my personnel values and interests.
I would recommend Phil to anyone wanting a 1st class service.
We have kept in touch and Phil shows a genuine interest in how I am getting on in my new role.

My CV was lack-lustre, but working with Phil I was able to tighten it up and give it the sparkle it was missing.

We did an hour guidance/feedback session where we went through everything from formatting to the written content. After I'd taken away the feedback and actioned it, Phil did a thorough review and sent across short videos showing what edits he had made which was helpful to watch him live in action.

No matter what you're needing - a refresh or a total rewrite, Phil is your go-to. He is experienced, efficient and great to work with.

Great experience and understanding about career development and job search. It’s not just about getting pro at job search, making great deals and getting a better job and pay. Real transformation is about realizing what you actually want and to go after it. Being personal, while also sharing what’s behind the words in the CV.

Phil responded to my original query (re assistance writing my CV) quickly and offered me a 15 minute career discovery call (free) for a few days later. The 15 minutes quickly turned in to almost 30 minutes, but Phil did not make me aware that we had run over or make me feel as if he was in a hurry to wrap up the call.
Phil clearly explained the following two options that would be available to me (Troubleshooter or Deep Dive) if I would still like his help with my CV. Phil didn’t make me feel pressured to choose one option, the other, or either.
I chose the Deep Dive option and Phil was able to fit me in the following day, the call lasting approximately 2 hours (from memory). During the call, Phil reviewed my lack lustre CV whilst asking lots of questions in order to grasp a good understanding of me, my skills, and experiences.
Phil returned his draft version of my CV the following day. I remember reading just the first few lines and thinking “this is brilliant”- I could hardly believe it was about me!
Phil was able to fit me in for a 30 minute finalisation call the following day. Like the first call, this also ran over but Phil was happy to answer any questions and make minor changes to ensure I was completely happy with the CV.
To summarise, I would 100% recommend Phil - he is a CV magician!

Phil's content on CV Writing and Job hunting is second to none when compared with many of his competitors, his credentials are backed by a long and storied history in the internal recruitment world and many a CV written and read! Would highly recommend

Do not hesitate- contact Phil today!

After 8 years in the same organisation, I was approached to apply for a Board level job with a different provider in the same Healthcare sector.

Despite sitting on many interview panels and recruiting some real talent, I knew that I would be rusty, when taking a seat on the opposite side of the wide table.

Phil was recommended to me, and the sessions were a Godsend. I wish I’d contacted him sooner, as his work on CVs is legendary, but my “best effort” was already submitted and I had already been invited to interview.

Phil was a fantastic mixture of coach, critic and expert. Set me tasks, worked with me to streamline my presentation and answers to questions that we could anticipate. Let me be clear, my answers and presentation were so much clearer, shorter and more engaging after session 3!

I got feedback that I smashed the interview, was the preferred candidate at that stage and I was the only candidate whose presentation ran to time!

After the second interview, I got the call everyone dreads- I’d not been successful! However I had been able to demonstrate my skills and experience, such that it lit a spark saying “we need him to do this instead” then offered me a newly created Board level position, same package, same direct access to CEO, and probably a better fit for my personality and experience.

I rang Phil, somewhat disheartened, having repeated a life pattern of NOT getting the top job! He gave me some robust redirection- that they had seen something they liked enough to not lose me, and create a post, with an incredible package. He reminded me that many an X-Factor runner-up went on to have longer more productive careers than some of the winners, so I had a firm word with myself and accepted the job.

I start in a couple of months, and am really excited about the new senior role in the new company- which will bring some stretch opportunities, a better work-life balance and the chance to make real improvements in the Healthcare sector. With this invaluable coaching support, I was able to demonstrate capability and an engaging style landed me not just the job, but rather the right job, which came with the same rewards. Great result for me, and hopefully, my new company too.

Thank you Phil, for all of your support. I cannot recommend you highly enough- but I stand by my opening line- that I wish I’d spoken to you years ago!

Phil is a talented individual, he gets to know you and then tailors the CV to reflect your strong qualities and be true reflection of yourself.

Phil made me comfortable from the offset and spent his time to get to know me and understand my aims. Phil then produced a CV that was a true reflection of myself and strongly reflect my strengths and achievements. I was so happy with the service from Phil as the CV helped me land a great role. I honestly would recommend Phil to anyone who is looking for help in securing their next role.

It was a pleasure working with Phil to reshape my CV, he was super-efficient an captured the essence of Me, told the story of who I am, pitched at what I am aiming for. I worked with him a 2nd time to create another version and would highly recommend his leadership and support. If you are thinking about it, just do it!

Phil was brilliant from the outset, understanding exactly what my needs were, proposing the right package for me without trying to sell things I didn’t need and delivering an outstanding experience from start to finish.

I got exactly the outcome I’d hoped for and I know I couldn’t have done it without Phil.

Got some much needed help from Phil with my CV. And pulling out my skills and experience was useful too, both from a interview prep but also a confidence point of view. Helped me realise what I was good at and had achieved.

Phil genuinely listens to you and cares about the outcome of your job hunt experience. He took the time to explain what changes I needed to make to my CV and I appreciate that he was patient with all the questions I asked. He doesn't just write your CV for you, he gets to know you and teaches you how to write the CV for yourself. It gave me a lot more confidence having relocated from California to London and changing career paths in the process.

I cannot recommend Phil highly enough. It’s the way he extracted the key elements of my career through easy conversation and created a cv that covering my experience achievements in a recruiter friendly format whilst reflecting my written style and personality that I believe got me in front of more people than any other cv I have had.
Phil has proved to be a top bloke/ sound fella / supportive chap / generous guy to whom I will always be grateful and I am pleased I got the benefit of his knowledge.
Get in touch with him now!

Phil was a great help in updating my C.V to bring it into line with a maximum of 2 pages and still getting all my career achievements and key skills in.

It was a real pleasure to have Phil's highly valued input and thoughts on how to restructor my C.V to achieve 80-85% scores on ATS systems.

Many thanks for all your help and advice Phil it was greatly appreciated in helping me secure a new position in the drinks industry with a market leading company.

Phil updated my rather dated and lengthy old style CV into a concise and focused CV that centred on all the important information. He was able to work with me to get all the best information and then present it on the CV in the clearest way. It has already helped me get a great new job and whenever I have sent the CV in for an opportunity, it is nearly always commented on what a great CV it is.

It was a really good service and a fantastic investment, I do recommend.

I've been in consulting most of my working life. CV's are part of the deal as a consultant - it's how firms put their people in the shop window and match them to engagements. So I’ve had lots of CV writing experience.

But like many, my own personal CV had become pretty congested after >25 years of career. I'd also had a breakdown in 2021 which apart from rocking my confidence, further clouded my ability to see the wood for the trees and what I really wanted to do. I needed to take stock. Not only did I want my CV to get a proper service, but I wanted to be able to get back to the essence of me and what I enjoy doing. And I needed help.

Phil was brilliant. Unquestionably huge experience - he's seen more CV's than you can shake a stick at, and he knows what works from a hiring manager perspective. He was able to cut through the fluff, and get to the heart of what I do, what I've delivered and what makes me tick. And he's human; he's empathetic, he listens and he has offered some invaluable impartial advice and guidance.

The surgery he performed on my CV is the work of genius. He's managed to cut down a 28 year old CV to 2 pages, but without losing any of the important stuff. It packs a real punch. And it still sounds like me. Well worth the money!

If you need the help, whether you're time poor or not, I would thoroughly recommend it!
