CV Writing & Career Coaching from a recruitment expert

From 84 £ /h

They say you don't get a second chance to make a first impression - getting your written representation of yourself perfect is vitally important when looking for a job. Get it wrong, and you won't even get to interview stage.

Having read, and written 100s of CVs over the last ten years, I know what works and what doesn't and can quickly help you get to grips with the writing required for your career search.

A big part of the challenge is actually understanding which elements of your experience are the most meaningful, which is why the process starts with me getting a detailed picture of your background (30 minutes over Skype is usually enough) So the process looks like this:

- Detailed discussion about aims/objectives/achievements
- Clarification of deliverables and timescales
- Professional experience and educational achievements mapping
- Expertly crafted personal statement if required
- Full Grammar and spell check, input into design and layout

After the first draft, I will suggest we talk again, and then will present the final versions.

Support in the areas of hiring:

- Writing and presentation of a hard-hitting CV both in form and content (how to arouse the interest of the reader and how to be invited to a job interview).
-Writing of a motivation letter (response to a job offer or spontaneous application).
- Preparation and repetition of a job interview (key questions ... to say and not to say)
- Techniques to optimize verbal and non-verbal communication

Together we identify the relevant elements that guarantee you a CV that attracts attention and guarantees that you will be invited to a job interview.

During the rehearsal of a job interview, we prepare the answers to give, the aspects not to say. I work on both the verbal and the nonverbal aspects. If desired, a video can be recorded and analyzed together.

Adapted to each case and need, the objective is support in accessing a job, from the search for departure to the signing of the contract:
- After the search and selection of relevant advertisements, establish and illustrate your transversal skills profile then create an attractive CV and write a striking cover letter highlighting your professional background
- stand out in the preparation of their interviews, from oral presentation to expression through appropriate body language. Interview simulation & video analysis filmed if necessary.
- Identify your values, promote your professional project / your assets and strengths but also work on areas for improvement in order to find new momentum in your career.

Note that during the videoconference session, all the notes are transcribed in the chat so that you can access them at any time when you wish.

Statistically, the progression following these private sessions is quickly noticeable, from 2 sessions. (study 2020)

PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne.

But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (example: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (example: chat notes that can be read later).
In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to suit everyone perfectly, take place in a very optimal way and generate a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option. Take good care of yourself and yours.

💬 A customised English pronunciation training course with a dedicated native-speaking coach will enhance your communication skills, boost your confidence, and ensure you can be easily understood in English conversations, presentations and meetings.

WHAT WILL I LEARN?
🗣️ Pronunciation for Public Speaking and Conversation is a course that identifies and resolves the issues that make people struggle to understand you. Common issues include:

• speaking too fast or slow
• having a confusing or flat intonation
• missing or overemphasising weak sounds
• stressing the wrong parts of words or sentences
• not linking sounds together
• talking with a rhythm that isn't natural to English

We will use a mix of techniques from shadowing and repetition exercises to dramatic readings and real-time speaking practice. We will also use specialist software called Praat so that you can visualise your speech, hear yourself back and make immediate changes to your pronunciation. It's highly effective and pretty fun too!

Our goal: make your speech clearer, more expressive, more enjoyable to listen to and easier to follow.

WHAT MAKES YOUR LESSONS STAND OUT?
First, they’re accessible. In this industry, professional pronunciation training sessions are often priced at €100 an hour or more. That model leaves many people without support. I believe quality teaching shouldn’t be a luxury.

Second, they’re personal. Too many pronunciation courses recycle the same generic materials for everyone. I design each lesson around your needs and issues so the time you spend actually moves you forward.

Finally, they’re research-based. A lot of pronunciation teaching still relies on outdated methods that don’t reflect what we know about how languages are learned. I use approaches grounded in linguistics and pedagogy, so your effort translates into lasting progress.

WHO SIGNS UP FOR AN ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION COURSE?
The Pronunciation for Public Speaking and Conversation course is ideal for people who engage in presentations, lectures, speeches or moderating, or simply for people who want to be more confident in everyday conversation.

Pronunciation training benefits professionals from a variety of sectors. My clients include consultants, creatives, therapists, lecturers, teachers, performers, bankers, estate agents, hosts, broadcasters, corporate trainers, small business owners, international executives, and facilitators.

⭐ If you are looking for a more comprehensive pronunciation coaching that goes into all the sounds of your accent, please check out my other course on Apprentus, "English Pronunciation and Accent Coaching / Training with a Native Teacher".

ABOUT ME
My name’s Tom and I’m an English teacher from Southeast England. Now I live in the Hague, Netherlands. I teach English learners how to communicate more clearly.

I have taught for various schools and agencies in the Netherlands and been frustrated by the lack of high-quality materials and expertise in the pronunciation teaching field. So in 2021 I set up my freelance teaching business to change the situation.

I have over 12 years of teaching experience, and I have a master's degree in Linguistics from Leiden University, with a specialisation in English Linguistics. I am trained in speech analysis software, which is a highly effective (and fun!) tool that helps learners not only hear but also visualise their mistakes.

I speak Finnish (my mum's side is from Finland), Mandarin Chinese (I lived in Taiwan for six years) and French (because I love the sound of it). I also know smatterings of other languages like Dutch, Spanish and Japanese. I am also an English language nerd and will happily talk your head off about why British people say "wa'er", what “muscles” have to do with mice, or why English spelling is so beautifully bizarre.

Generative Assets: Learning how game studios use generative AI tools to rapidly create textures, background stories, or simple game environments.

Interactive Storytelling: Exploring decision-tree logic and how AI can adapt game narratives based on player choices, making the game feel dynamic and intelligent.
