"After relocating from Battersea and making the decision to scale down my working commitments, I wanted help to understand what opportunities would be available to me in my new home.  I was amazed at how easily Suzie understood my experience, her approach was also gentle and transparent throughout.  She helped me to identify in detail how I wanted my life to look and what roles would fit into this whilst allowing me to continue to grow my career.  She was also fantastic at highlighting which skills and experience would be most sought after by employers in my area.  It was so reassuring to have the help of a professional that understood my industry and the different types of opportunities and sectors I could consider crossing into.  It was also great to have access to Suzie's networks, particularly the 'off the market' job opportunities and employers she was able to introduce me to. 

I can highly recommend Suzie's bespoke programs, she investigated job opportunities on my behalf. I thought she would send an email with a list of jobs, but I got a really impressive, tailored report.  It had a comprehensive shortlist of roles tailored to me and my hopes for the future.  She had also spoken to all the employers directly on my behalf to verify the status of the role and to introduce my skills and experience.  I loved having this warm introduction and was amazed that eight of the hiring managers had requested a call back from me directly!  This was incredible service, and her recommendations were spot on.  My follow-up sessions with Suzie were brilliant, she helped me navigate the recruitment process, applications, my online profiles and prepared me for the interviews.  I obviously got the job I went for and love the flexibility and control that my new working hours gives me.  I will always use Suzie in the future when it comes to my career!"

"Thanks for my Tailored Apprenticeship report.  I found your breakdown of the different engineering industry departments really helpful when choosing my options.  I was amazed at the shortlist of employers you had matched to me and it is exciting to think I might be working for Airbus, Rolls-Royce or even GE Aerospace.  It has always been a dream of mine to work in aerospace, after the pandemic I thought there would not be the stable jobs.  You have helped turn my hopes into a plan and I feel so much more prepared with my applications.  Thanks also for the bonus info on climate change and sustainability careers in aerospace."

"My son has ASC (Autism) and needed extra help to create his CV and understand what career options would be available to him on completion of his A Levels.  The School Career Officer had been useful but was pushing significantly the university route and we weren't sure that this was right for our son.  We asked Suzie to step in as an independent expert to talk him through all his options so that he could make a decision he felt safe with that would offer options no matter what his grade results.  

​

With Suzie's warmth, patience and enthusiasm and understanding of ASC she was able to calm his fears surrounding CV writing over 2 sessions.  She guided him and helped highlight the positives and strengths of ASC and he was able to confidently write a CV and personal statement with the help of his future you report.  She also explained how he should be disclosing autism to potential employers and reassured him about the positive response and support he could expect from doing this.  He was then ready to start thinking about his interviews for both Uni and Apprenticeships.  Suzie's report also gave us a real insight into the best companies to approach for apprenticeships in his field of interest. Overall, Harry felt a lot more confident about autism and employment following his sessions with Suzie.

With his lack of social cues in interactions, Suzie is helping him to prepare and practice for these, offering many interview skills.  I now have a more confident and determined son who is well prepared for his next steps and how to manage autism and work and the recruitment process. Thank you for an excellent, professional and caring service."

"I happily took a career break to start a family.  I loved every part of building this life, but all of a sudden there was just me at home and that was a shock.  I spent a few years doing courses of interest, but it wasn't really amounting to a job, and I felt I was just wasting time and losing confidence.  I met Suzie at a beautiful Cotswold Manor House, away from home as I was so nervous I might see someone I knew.  She asked important questions, and I was able to talk through my frustrations.  For the first time I felt like I was getting worthwhile direction. When I received my Career Report, I was overwhelmed to see just how much I had to offer.  I felt so reassured, and my self-worth increased each day.  The most helpful part of my report was the shortlisted career recommendations, that all matched my skills and passions.  It was so helpful to be able to talk through each career route with Suzie, who knew these roles inside out.  I used my newfound knowledge and confidence to establish a realistic plan of how to progress (mainly because I was still carrying a lot of frustration from time wasting in the past).  I now have part-time work that I adore within the Arts, I even get commission that I spend on just me!  More than anything, I have loved finding myself after children and my confidence has thrived again.  I would never have known this role existed or that I could do this if it weren't for my sessions with Suzie.  Can't recommend Suzie enough."

"Suzie Burley's service is brilliant.  It is an in-depth analysis of your personality, talents, skills and aspirations.  A significant and in-depth report came back to me that clarified who I was, the perfect career route to take as well as clear and well thought through exit plans which created a real financial incentive to truly prioritise and make sure ones time is spent wisely and with intent.  When life has pulled you in all directions its good to truly take stock, focus and make conscious decisions.  Also, once my business plan was in place, Suzie had the contacts to really make things happen and propel my business forward."

"I had a couple of business ideas and I approached Suzie to see if she could help me to understand whether there was an opportunity to create something special. Fast forward two months and I am in the final stages of completing a business plan for one of my more ambitious ventures, I plan to use this to navigate the investment stages of my business launch. Suzie provided me with the information and skills I needed to go from an idea through to concept, development, market research, she talked me through how to write a business plan and supported me with understanding investment strategies.  This is a very exciting time for me."
