These are some of your latest success stories and testimonials
Richard S, 25 years old,
worked in a small accountancy firm
“I lost my first job as an accounting clerk 3 months ago. I had uploaded my CV on all possible sites but my search was going nowhere.
A friend who had attended FdB’s webinars recommended them to me.
I started with the CV and cover letter webinar and found them so useful, I then registered for all. I understood that my CV was too generic and that I could not explain clearly what I have achieved in an interview. I applied the advice given in the webinars, and was quickly shortlisted for interviews. I then booked one 1-to-1 with France to do a mock interview, which proved very useful.
After 3 interviews, I was delighted to be offered a new job, which also is nearer to my home. The webinars are brilliant, clear advice and help, interactive as if we were in a room together. I am very happy to recommend FdB to anybody struggling to find a job.”

“After 10 years with my previous employer, it was a daunting challenge to find myself on the job market. The support from France gave me a clear structure to enable me to conduct an effective search. She helped me think through what I wanted for my next role, develop a marketable CV, prepare for interviews and manage the job-offer as well as providing emotional support through a time of uncertainty”
Barry C.
““At the beginning of my career transition, France helped me to build some much needed confidence during a very uncertain time; she helped me to realise my level of employability. France offered me expert advice on my CV, which allowed me to completely transform its design and get it recruiter-ready”.
“France is a great listener and clear communicator; our conversations were always easy and constructive; she was happy to liaise with me via email between sessions, always accommodating for any developments in my search. On entering the jobs market, I didn’t think I needed a coach; after my first few coaching sessions, I realised that France and her advice would be essential to my success. France’s support was simply invaluable.”
Laura, 48 years old
Laura was a quality manager with a pharmaceutical company. She contacted FdB after seeing our ad in her local paper and booked the Set Programme. We worked together to identify what other roles she could do based on her skills and experience.
Laura gave us this testimony after starting her new role as a “Health and Safety” manager for a large retirement Housing organisation:
"France listened carefully to me as I talked about my career so far and asked insightful questions to understand my aspirations; we did a brainstorming exercise and assessed all sorts of roles that I could do.
As I wanted to work with or for people rather than products, the idea of Health and Safety was very interesting. We re-wrote my CV with this kind of roles in mind, prepared and practiced answers to interview questions and it worked, I have just finished my probation period! I would recommend FdB to anyone wondering what to do next”
