Peter is full of praise for the National Careers Service and how it helped his career transition
In October 2023, Peter, a seasoned Quantity Surveyor from St Austell, faced the unexpected challenge of redundancy.
Having been employed for many years without the need to update his CV, Peter found himself navigating the daunting task of re-entering the job market.
Seeking support and guidance, he visited his local job centre, where he was referred to Barbora, a knowledgeable and skilled careers adviser from the National Careers Service in the Southwest.
Expert CV assistance
Peter’s initial meeting with Barbora proved to be a turning point in his job search journey.
Barbora’s perceptive approach and deep understanding of CV writing helped Peter articulate his skills and experience in a way that would resonate with potential employers.
Her ability to identify and highlight key achievements and competencies ensured that Peter’s new CV was both comprehensive and compelling.
Barbora helped Peter recognise and articulate the many skills he had developed over his career that were relevant to roles he wanted to apply for.
Together, they pinpointed significant accomplishments that showcased Peter’s value to prospective employers.
Barbora also used her expertise to create a clean, professional, and modern CV format that was easy to read and visually appealing.
Successful job search
With his newly revamped CV in hand, Peter felt more prepared in applying for new opportunities.
His efforts quickly paid off. By February 2024, Peter secured a prestigious position as a Senior Quantity Surveyor, working on a major redevelopment project for the Ministry of Defence.
The project, a significant part of a £1 billion investment plan over ten years, focused on the 10 dock refurbishment at the Plymouth naval base.
