What We Do

CVs & Interviews
Work with us for professional CV writing, LinkedIn profile optimisation, and interview coaching
to ensure you bring your A-game to your next job opportunity.

CV WRITING & LinkedIn 

Our CV writing and LinkedIn profile services help professionals attract the attention of hiring managers and secure interviews. With 25+ years of experience in recruitment, we know what formats, content, and styles make the most impact.

We work with you to update or completely revamp CVs, aligning them with your target market—permanent, interim, or career-changing roles. For those switching sectors, we highlight transferable skills and design a CV that maximises value. We also build or optimise your LinkedIn profile to increase its searchability and presence in the market.
 
To partner you in building your document:

  • We’ll have a free telephone consultation to assess needs.
  • We will then spend an hour on the phone with you, discussing your strengths, career aspirations and most marketable commercial successes.
  • We’ll challenge you to consider the most appropriate content for the type of role you now want and then help, support and guide you through good format, wording and structure.
  • On receiving your revisions we will fully critique the document, then email it back to you with further suggestions, followed by a call if appropriate.
 
This comprehensive service will give you the skills to confidently write your own CV in the future and set you up for further interviews, adding great value to your job searching efforts.

INTERVIEW COACHING

Are you nervous about interviews or feel you need to sharpen your interview skills? Those who prepare thoroughly are the most confident, stand out from the crowd, and are often the ones who land their dream job.

The recruitment market is highly competitive, so making a lasting impression is essential. Preparation goes beyond reviewing your CV and researching the company—it’s about delivering your experience and strengths with clarity and impact, while communicating your future value.


Our interview coaching helps you to:

  • Effectively answer the two key questions: “What do you want?” and “What do you offer?”
  • Tackle both competency-based and traditional interview questions with confidence
  • Describe your experiences, achievements and future value in a compelling way
  • Clearly articulate what you are looking for
  • Become concise and precise in your delivery
  • Sharpen and rehearse your approach if you haven’t interviewed in a while
  • Overcome interview nerves and present confidently

As ex-recruiters, we guide you through these essential techniques, helping you understand how to prepare, perform, and perfect your delivery. With this approach, you gain a competitive advantage and maximise your chances of success.

Redundancy and organisational change can be unsettling. That’s why our outplacement programmes are bespoke, tailored to meet the needs of departing employees while enhancing your employer brand.

Whether through 1-1 career coaching or group workshops, we treat everyone as an individual, ensuring that all participants gain tangible value from the advice and guidance of our experienced coaches. Our programmes focus on managing change, identifying strengths, approaching the job market, CV and LinkedIn profile optimisation, and interview skills.

Your outplacement package can be a combination of online workshops and 1-1 coaching sessions, or a bespoke programme tailored to a specific budget, whether for a team or senior executives. Our goal is to help individuals transition into their next career chapter with confidence and dignity, equipped with practical strategies to secure their next role.

With expert career coaching and outplacement support, your employees not only gain skills and confidence but also leave with a positive impression of your organisation, protecting and enhancing your reputation in the market.

LEADERSHIP COACHING

FIRST 90 DAYS

TEAM EFFECTIVENESS

The careers of great leaders are not only defined by the results they deliver, but also by how they achieve them. At The Career Gym, our leadership coaching helps existing and future leaders build the skills, confidence, and executive presence needed to excel in their roles and make a lasting impact.

Once in role, we act as a sounding board, supporting leaders to think through and solve real-world business challenges. By encouraging individuals to take ownership of their careers, we coach them through internal moves, promotions, and transitions, helping them to resolve issues and stretch their boundaries of development.

We also work with leadership teams, facilitating and challenging them to achieve greater performance, engagement, and results. Through bespoke programmes, we enhance team effectiveness, collaboration, and a 'wanting to win' mindset, while developing individual strengths and executive presence. This approach enables teams and leaders to bend their results line upwards and deliver sustainable impact.

Whether coaching emerging leaders or seasoned executives, our programmes focus on leadership development, executive presence, and strategic thinking, equipping leaders with the tools, confidence, and insight to succeed in complex and evolving business environments.
