Carey Adams Personal Careers Advice - Chester

Amanda Nowell

We approached Carey when my son was struggling to get interviews after sending off many job applications as we really needed some advice and guidance. Carey was attentive and encouraging when my son's esteem was at a low and his approach is very bespoke and certainly not a 'one size fits all'. Carey also gave him training for interviews which was invaluable. Today my son starts his dream job. I would definitely recommend Carey Adams for careers mentoring and support.

Before visiting Carey, I was unhappy with my current job and was looking to change my career. Working through Carey's process, we analysed all aspects of my current and previous roles, looked at my personal interests and achievements, both past and present.

From this, we established the aspects of these projects and roles I most enjoyed and recognised my strongest skills. Employing Carey's process he was able to advise and guide me on how to most efficiently target my job search, understanding key elements of job descriptions and focusing on the roles that best suited my skills and interests.

Once I had found a job offer that interested me, Carey helped me through the process of replying to the job offer, tailoring my CV to meet the needs of the position offered, and successfully negotiating my acceptance of the position.

Thanks to Carey's very thorough and professional approach, highlighting skills I would not have considered, I found the confidence to aim for positions I would not have thought within my scope of abilities. It was clear, from the beginning that Carey showed a personal interest in my professional and personal development and in helping me find a role that best suited all aspects of my life.

Carey was so helpful to me when I decided my CV needed a revamp. He was very patient and insightful. He didn't write my CV for me, instead he gave me the tools and understanding to be able to do it myself. He also gave plenty of tips for cover letters. I now have a CV that will stand out and that truly reflects me, my abilities and my experience. Highly recommend.

Carey is a great coach along with a great person! I was put in touch to Carey through a family friend and I was over the moon with how quickly he got my confidence up as this was a barrier stopping me from taking my next steps.

After not knowing what I wanted in December last year working with Carey gave me the courage to apply for jobs out of area and jobs I never thought I’d apply for as in my eyes I wasn’t good enough.

8 months into this year, I have settled well into a role at Fujitsu in Bracknell which I love and I couldn’t be happier. Credit to Carey for his work!

PS - The coffee is great too!

Carey's career advice enabled me to look at my work experience and present it in a current format for a CV, personal statement, profile and even job application. The personalised guidance and support given to me to prepare for a job interview was accurate and on point. I would highly recommend Carey's careers advice. It has been life changing.

I went as I was looking to change my job and find something that I actually enjoy. Carey is very good at telling you what you want to hear and making you feel confident about getting a new job. However, it appears that he knows little about the jobs he suggests. I went away and changed my CV as he had suggested. One industry he said I might be suited for has no jobs going in the surrounding area. The other it became very apparent that I was not going to get a job in after a few interviews.

Great if you want to pay £250 to feel good about yourself for a day.

I was recommended Carey by a friend of a friend. Carey has been a really good coach for me. He has helped me to really understand what skills and talents I have, what I have enjoyed in previous roles, and what I have found difficult, and then he's helping me to plan a career change. He is easy to get on with, professional, and very engaging and motivating. He's worked with a lot of people who have made very successful changes in their careers which is motivating and reassuring for me. Thanks Carey

Carey was a great person to work with.

I was looking for advice with a career change and how to frame my teaching skills when applying for jobs beyond the classroom.

I worked hard on the tasks he set, even when I wasn't sure where they were leading. Trust me when I say he knows what he's doing.

He distills all the information you share with him and guides you brilliantly in the right direction.

He doesnt do the work for you but with you. You have to invest in his advice.

My confidence soared after working with him. I got interviews and am happy to report I have a new, fulfilling role that I love.

I recommend him highly.
