What women say about...
Quality of our career coaches
“All staff I have had contact with over the phone, by email and in person have without exception been supportive, welcoming, pleasant and friendly. I feel they empathise perfectly with women in our situation.”

“Support from Women Like us is great, consistent and relevant.”
"The workshop was the right length, the right method, the right amount of information. I left feeling confident and motivated. THANK YOU!"
Career MOT
“Motivating, positive, useful: this workshop makes you think about your career and job search in a different way, focused on what you need and what is important to you.”
“A good feeling of support with expert guidance. Also a feeling that anything is possible – empowering!”
"The workshop teased my key skills back into active memory. I had begun to lose my sense of who I am!"
“I realised there are plenty of women in the same situation as me and I feel much more positive about finding a job in the future.”
Effective job hunting
"Indispensible. I now have a constructive plan to find my perfect job. Just the boost I needed!"
"I have a clear path now about how to approach the job market. The workshop helped to demystify ‘using social media’."
“Fantastic – just the fuel I needed to get me jump started!”
CV Clinic
"For two years I kept saying 'I'll do my CV tonight,' then never quite managed to put pen to paper. After the CV workshop I went straight home and wrote it in two hours."
”It gave me lots of practical tips that I feel I can implement. Prior to attending I had heard some of theory but was not really able to put it into practice.”
“Excellent use of 3 hours with lots of practical information, tips and pointers. Felt like a whole day’s worth of discussion – in a good way.”
"A really positive experience! The content, delivery and atmosphere was very engaging. And the recruiters' perspective given by your recruitment consultant was invaluable."
Interview success
"I learned how to understand what response the interviewer is looking for; coping strategies for awkward silences; and how to turn a weakness into a positive outcome."
"It was good to face up to scary interview questions, and learn how I can make them easier to answer."
"I now know how to go and prepare for an interview. I feel less threatened by the whole process."
"It was great to be approaching a challenging area with the advice of a supportive trainer and people in a similar position."
IT sessions
"Lovely, amiable coach with a wealth of experience. Never made me feel stupid and was very gentle with her teaching approach!"
"A course that will develop a programme especially for your skills and needs. "
"Enabled me to learn at my own pace whilst keeping front of mind the practical purpose of updating my IT skills."
"The tutor was very careful to check my skills beforehand; this meant we were able to focus and make best use of our time. A really excellent and helpful session."
