Simon's story

“I’d begun my career as a management accountant for nine years before moving into telecoms with T-Mobile for six years and then Inmarsat to look after their pricing programmes over a nine-year period.

Having then taken a two-year sabbatical to work in my family’s property business, when I endeavoured to return I found both the market and the whole process of job hunting had changed significantly.   I needed help!

I was struggling to find a new role and came to Resource.   My advisor recommended several of their workshops which were invaluable.   They helped me get my CV into shape and gave me a better perspective of the way today’s jobs market functions.   They showed me how to make effective use of networking, the Internet and jobs boards.   My advisor and all the Resource team were brilliant.   It was thanks to their practical help, advice, support and encouragement that I was able to get myself back into the career I love.   I have now landed a contract with the British Council, establishing a pricing process for a new programme of language teaching in various countries.  

An equivalent commercial set-up would charge thousands - and would have been hard-pressed to be as caring and professional - yet Resource provide their entire service for absolutely nothing!”
