“ Thanks in a big way to your help with rebranding my CV I was able to secure 2 interviews and got the job within a week. Not only do I start an hour and a half later each day, I am also home before I previously was. I have also quadrupled my salary; many, many thanks. ”
The Challenge
The Toll of Physical Labor
Peter Green was at a breaking point, balancing two physically demanding part-time cleaning roles. The grueling schedule was not only unsustainable but was actively impacting his health and wellbeing. He knew he had more to offer but lacked a clear path to transition out of manual labor and into a stable, professional environment.
Bridging the Eligibility Gap
Although Peter initially fell outside the standard program criteria, the Connect to Work team recognized his potential. He was paired with advisor Hanneke Redeker, who moved beyond the paperwork to focus on the person. Together, they embarked on a "career rebrand," identifying Peter’s transferable skills and aligning them with his long-term aspirations.
A Quadrupled Salary and New Stability
The intervention of the advisory team acted as a catalyst for a total life overhaul:
- Strategic Rebranding: By refreshing his CV to highlight his attention to detail and professional strengths, Peter moved from being overlooked to being in demand.
- Rapid Results: Within weeks of his CV refresh, Peter secured two interviews, leading to an immediate job offer.
- Lifestyle Transformation: As a Quality Assurance Inspector, Peter didn't just find a job - he found a career. He now starts his day later, finishes earlier, and has seen a 400% increase in his earnings.
Other Case Studies
“It’s been fun, it’s been a good learning curve. Everyone is really nice here, the teachers are really good — Debbie is brilliant, she’s helped me out loads. I really like tiling. I would really like to work for the local council afterwards and repair houses, and I would like to be a multi trader.”
Skills Bootcamps
“The staff have been great honestly, and fun to work with. They’ve been really good at guiding, especially Dave or Lee. I really, really enjoyed the joinery part of carpentry too. That was really fun.”
Skills Bootcamps
“The whole course has been fascinating. Blender is an amazing piece of software with so many applications, from filmmaking to interior design. I now have a much better understanding of how to present myself and how to communicate what I do.”
