Anne-Marie’s success story.

Anne-Marie was referred to the Restart Scheme at our Portsmouth office. She was facing numerous difficulties post-COVID, where she has been a successful bookshop owner. With the loss of her business, a newborn child and facing surgery, Anne-Marie wanted to boost her confidence and prepare herself to find a new opportunity.

Freya Waugh, Get Set UK Employment Advisor, worked on a personalised plan that supported Anne-Marie’s needs, suggesting flexible learning opportunities for safeguarding training and participation in our coffee morning and CV-building sessions.

In these sessions, Daniel Brown, Get Set UK Employability & Skills Tutor supported Anne-Marie with a CV review where he offered suggestions for improvement in her profile, skills, work experience, and more. This personalised guidance helped Anne-Marie tailor her CVs to specific job opportunities to increase her chances of securing job interviews and has now boosted her confidence to begin her job search again.

“Witnessing the positive impact of our guidance on individuals like Anne-Marie is truly gratifying. Anne-Marie’s testimonial reflects the real-world value of the skills and knowledge shared during our programmes.”
