Phil Sterne | Career Transition Coach Reviews 98

I have known Phil for some time and there was a point in my work life where i was really not happy with my CV. Too long, too repetitive, too many boring statements. It did not create the impression " I need that guy". After several zoom sessions with Phil I now have a succinct CV which I am very happy with. Highly recommend Phil. 👌

Phil helped me to prepare for an interview at short notice. Excellent coaching and advice. Gave me the confidence to get the job I had wanted for ages.

Highly recommended.

The initial consultation was a great experience - Phil is incredibly friendly and is brilliant to work with. He got back to me very swiftly and I now have a CV that more efficiently and effectively illustrates my skills and experiences - Thanks Phil you’ve been absolutely fantastic!

Phil has been fantastic in supporting my CV creation for the next level up, his level of expertise is clear - backed up by a quick turn around and always being there to talk through any questions and recommendations
Thank you again

Phil helped me refresh my CV a few years ago. The insight he provided into a better structure and format, allowed me to make tweaks and revisions on an ongoing basis thereafter. I’ve been much happier with it these last few years thanks to his support.

Phil’s clearly got a huge amount of credibility and experience in this field and is easy to get along with and open up to.

Ultimately a highly recommended expert in the field of CV overhauls.

I was fortunate enough to be passed onto Phil when I wanted to update and ensure my CV was doing the right job.
After reaching out Phil asked the right questions in the right places and made the right recommendations so, that when I did need to use the CV, I was told - 'we don't really need to interview, your CV says it all'.
Thank you Phil, much appreciated

Phil had been a connection on my LinkedIn profile for sometime and I'm not sure how the connection originally came about (although we have both worked in the automotive aftersales business arena).

I had been working for a large blue-chip company for almost 20 years, climbing my way up to a senior management role. After 4 years working in a couple of different roles in this capacity, I started to feel undervalued and overworked.

After attending another department meeting where the business issues were being played down by the operations manager and feeling more frustrated than ever, I contacted Phil for help.

I opted for the 90 minute consultation. For the first time in my life, I invested in me and I can honestly say I was blown away with the final results.
I knew I was under selling myself with my current CV and the final draft from Phil proved this very point.

Today I work for a company that pays me 40% more than my previous employer and its local to where I live. I feel like a valued member of the team and I know they welcome my experience within their business.

Phil has a natural talent extracting the detail from his clients and then transferring this information into a first class CV.

Invest in yourself by investing in Phil's services!

Thanks again Phil.

Like many other senior business professionals, I was pretty happy with my CV. I have always kept it up to date, I keep an eye out for current trends/thinking, and when I took the decision to resign from my current position, I thought I'd be OK... I saw what Phil was posting on LinkedIn, and took an interest in what his clients were saying and having worked alongside him many years ago, when he joined my 'then' company as a recruitment consultant, I decided to reach out and asked him to review my CV for me. I opted for the mid-level package and we arranged a video call to go through my current CV, work history, things I had done, etc and I soon realised from speaking with Phil and in answering his questions, that whilst my CV was indeed a true reflection of what roles I have had and what I have accomplished.. it could say 'so much more' and to say I was delighted with the finished result would be an understatement. 6 weeks on, I have been offered a fantastic role with a great company and whilst I can hold my own in a face-to-face interview, it was my revised CV, that I believe gave me an 'Edge'... and got me into the interview process..
A simple note to end. If you too are serious about getting your dream move, then don't waste any time, reach out to Phil , make that investment in 'YOUR' future and get yourself a standout CV to give you an edge!
Thanks Phil

I joined a free ‘Rev up your CV’ 90 minutes session with Phil Sterne.

I lacked confidence in identifying the solutions to the problems I identified with my CV.

Conducting my own internet research had resulted in greater confusion and even lower confidence.

Key takeaways:
Actionable changes to make to my cv (format, layout, font and content.)
Confidence to make these changes.
Phil answered the questions I raised during the session.

What resonated in this session:
Phil’s knowledge and authentic enthusiasm for what he does.
Phil’s honesty and openness, sharing his own CV as an example.
No hard sell of services - Phil was true to his word.

I have subsequently overhauled my CV and I’m more confident with the result.

It’s not the first time I’m reaching out to Phil and every time the results have been fantastic - I’ve noticed a massive difference in responses to my CV and I’ve had some brilliant comments & compliments about it.

Phil is extremely professional, knowledgeable and simply the expert in his field! I had a brilliant experience and I will definitely reach out to Phil again!

Many thanks again Phil!

I approached Phil after a few job knock-backs at CV stage. Phil was fantastic in asking questions of me, understanding me as a person, and creatively and concisely reproducing me on paper. Not only was it about the CV but also his interest in me and my abilities gave me a greater sense of purpose and confidence. When it came to interviews, Phil had already asked the difficult questions so I felt prepared and I was able to deliver with purpose. Could not recommended highly enough.

Phil recently helped me with updating (and subsequently tailoring) my CV for a number of roles. The results have been fantastic - I have a CV that I am proud of, and so far it's had a 100% hit ratio of two applications, and two interviews.

I'm so glad I opted to get help from a professional. I am sure that my CV is now of a standard that I would not have got to alone. And quite frankly, I've always found CV writing to be a chore, so my time is better spent elsewhere.

I have no hesitation in recommending Phil. Thank you!

Phil, is a very astute and clever minded individual who brings clarity and up to date trends in CV writing. What I like about Phil most is that he simplifies, and breaks down the resurrection of the process seamlessly. He is very easy to work with in regards of package selections, and gives an honest opinion, opposed to some of the guys just wanting to go the full extreme on what everyone needs. I follow his YouTube channel, and also on LinkedIn for his tips/tricks, and weekly posts, since they are quick and useful.

I will be using Phil for years to come, and consider him to be one of my secret weapons, which I can use at any time for my careers advantage.

I attended Phil's workshop on reviewing and improving your CV as it has been a while since I wrote mine. I found the session very clear, well run and enjoyable. There were really good tips in it so I won't hesitate to reach Phil when I'm ready to switch jobs!

Phil has supported a number of my contacts with CV advice and without exception, the feedback has been very positive. Highly recommend if you haven’t updated or given your CV much attention but want to secure a really good job

I was approached by a firm out of the blue for an amazing job opportunity however my CV was 10years out of date. I contacted Phil for urgent help and after a few telephone/email interactions he produced an amazing CV which went a long way in securing the job.

Very professional and just knows how to make you jump off the page.

Highly recommend.

Excellent CV workshop, covered the basics.

I found myself looking for a new role as I wanted to be closer to home and spend more time nearer our children and less time on a train or in a boardroom late at night.

I was recommended to speak to Phil by a HR Exec that I really trust and was blown away by the service.

I’ve had a great career and worked with some incredible businesses but had no idea how to put that on a page that makes sense and attracts interest in a short period of time.

Phil fixed this.

A couple of zoom calls, a few edits and questions later and I had a CV I was proud of, in fact I even sent it to my mum 😂

A month later I had three roles offered to me and am now settled and really enjoying life.

Well worth the investment.
