Gradvance is phenomenal!

I highly recommend Dan for those who are starting their careers! My confidence was very low after graduating mid pandemic. After several months, I reached out to Dan and came up with a plan, including improving my cv and cover letter as well my interviewing skills - after just 2 months I got a job and he’s kept being so helpful since then! Safe to say he sees all the potential in people and will help you see it in yourself too if you feel a bit lost!

If you’re an International student this is the company for you

I would highly recommend Gradvance services as Dan was super helpful in all my job hunting process. We started doing a career consultation meeting which helped me understand which path I would like to follow, after that Dan helped me rebuild my CV and he showed in a more strong perspective my achievements with numbers to prove them and strong information for employers to understand my strengths. At the same time I choose a role and potential companies that I would like to target and Dan helped me to build a strong Cover Letter for one of my desired roles. The services of Gradvance definitely improve my self esteem and helped me to see clearly my strengths and be proud of them. I change my perspective of looking for a job to see how lucky an employer would be to have me in their team that helped me to sell myself better and to target the areas of opportunity that I could improve in the future. After a month of work together I land an amazing job opportunity as Marketing Executive for Intercontinental London-The O2.

L'Oréal Assessment Centre Prep

CV and interview prep with Gradvance was so helpful in providing me with insight into best assessment centre practice, structuring my answers and brand research tips. Dan was able to tailor his research to my own application and his advice to the areas in which I personally needed to work on, with advice which will also be valuable for my future graduate role applications. I left our sessions feeling much more confident and prepared for my interview, having received guidance into exactly how employers identify standout candidates. Grateful to have had this support from Gradvance in securing my internship and would definitely recommend the services to anyone interested.

Career Kick-started the right way!

I am delighted with the whole experience of working with Dan Mian and Gradvance. The support and guidance I received enabled me to secure 2 offers and kick-start my career the right way. I am really happy with the outcome and will continue to work with Dan in the near future, if and when, I change roles or companies. Thank you for everything.

10/10!

The 121 CV Workshop I had with Gradvance was amazing! They took time to understand my strengths, skills, experiences and motivations. I was so impressed with the CV they produced for me - it was highly professional, very well written and looked great. They also gave me some really useful tips for the interview, because of this I secured a role on a competitive medical work placement. Couldn't be happier!

Fantastic service! Highly reccomend!

The Career Consultation and CV Workshop gave me an opportunity to show my true self and skillset. Dan helped me express that through my CV in a professional way which really increased my ratio of applications to interviews. I don't believe I have a business mindset, however now I have the tools to demonstrate my ability and long-term output through this way of thinking which is very useful going forward. Even though I now have a job, these skills are invaluable. Having a kick ass CV also gave me confidence going into interviews. The fashion industry is a hard industry to crack and it took me over a year to land a role as a Trainee Product Development Designer at Frasers Group but the key is to never give up and utilise opportunities like this service.

Gradvance is how I secured my dream job!

I was trying to secure a job within Marketing, I felt de-motivated and disheartened when my applications weren’t successful. Thankfully, I reached out to Gradvance and I was offered an interview as soon as my CV was improved with the support and guidance from Gradvance!

Dan Mian from Gradvance is a fantastic mentor who knew instantly areas and ways I could improve my CV to secure my dream job. Applying to jobs can be super stressful and tedious. However, after my sessions with Dan my CV was transformed. I felt so much more confident and comfortable to apply to jobs and I started to receive job offers! Dan has a huge amount of experience, knowledge, advice/tips on CV and cover letter writing, interview prep as well as general career advice. The entire job-hunting process felt a lot more comfortable and exciting as I was more confident in my new CV and with a mentor like Dan, I felt more motivated and positive.

If you are exhausted of applying to jobs and aren’t seeing the results you deserve, don’t waste time, reach out to Gradvance where you will receive all the support, guidance, confidence and most importantly job offers!

Dan is doing a fantastic work with…

Dan is doing a fantastic work with Gradvance. His advice was key to my success in getting the job I wanted. Job applications can be extra overwhelming and disheartening for international students, so his tips were super valuable and encouraging. Gradvance's cover letter template was super helpful as well, it helped me understand how to make better use of that one page to show the company what drew me to them as well as the value I could bring. It helped me feel more prepared and gave me the confidence I was lacking to connect with interviewers. I'd never thought of reaching out to employers and networking on LinkedIn before so after attending one of his webinars, I started building a more personal profile on LinkedIn which I believe also helped get this role.

Gradvance will help you land your dream role!

Dan Mian at Gradvance was a dream to work with. Around 2 years ago I approached Dan to help me revamp and refresh my CV, I had tons of experience but wasn’t able to tell the narrative in a way that would grab a recruiters/employers attention and that lead me feeling under qualified for roles, I clearly was qualified for! Dan broke it down for me and helped me put together my journey in words … words that supported in landing me, my current role as Social Media Executive at BT.

The way in which Dan works allows you to not only understand your own experience but also helps you to bullet point key areas within an interview simply by plucking out key content from your new and approved CV, his content on Instagram and LinekdIn also proved valuable in helping me understand ‘what to do and what not to do’ when it comes to preparing for interviews.

Dan makes the experience personable and really helps you to challenge your own thinking so that you can truly realise how great you are! If you need a confidence boost, reassurance, guidance and just general support then Gradvance is the place to be!

New job!!

Gradvance massively helped improve my CV and cover letter to match my job preferences. They gave me lots of useful tips on how to showcase my personal skills and achievements and ensure a professional look. They also helped me rewrite it so it sounded really sharp. My employers were very impressed with the quality and I got the job I wanted. I would 100% recommend!

Excellent service, love my new CV!

I used Gradvance to update my CV and help me create a new cover letter, Dan gave me a career consultation to establish what I was looking to apply for, and then tailored my CV and cover letter to that market. The whole process was insightful and professional, Dan was brilliant throughout. I gained a CV and cover letter that really showcase my skills and the value I've gained from my experience.
