Coach – Jane

"I was looking for a change after 7 years in a professional services firm. I appreciated that Jane did not go through her standard programme with me but adjusted and tailored her approach to meet my needs. I needed an independent sounding board, somebody other than my friends and family, and she was not afraid to challenge me. She helped me structure my thoughts and develop a career plan which helped me through a successful transition."

"Jane Downes' book brings a rare freshness, wit and depth of understanding to the fairly tired genre of career self-help literature. I defy you to read the book without feeling an urge to transform your career."

"Just when you thought that all career books were looking alike, Jane Downes comes up with a revelation. The Career Book is a truly unique take on how changes in approach and attitude will make all the difference in your successful job search."

"Jane is a visionary leader with very strong creative skills and the consummate eye for detail. No surprise on top of that she's also a fantastic author. Pick up her latest book if you get a chance and keep an eye out for one of her informative columns across the national press! Keep up the great work!"

"Jane Downes holds up an important mirror to those considering a career change. This book is a useful read for anyone looking for some inner reflection before applying for that new job."

"I could not have achieved this return to full-time employment without the encouragement and support Jane gave me to believe in myself and my abilities and I want to convey my thanks to you for the help gave me at a very difficult time in my life."

"Going to meet Jane for the first time, I was downbeat and had given up, I had thought I had exhausted all the channels of securing a job but she gave me the confidence and determination of how to pursue the challenging industry I wanted to get into.
Step by step she examined the ways to succeed and helped me draft a hard hitting cover letter and CV which enabled me to secure two job interviews in the space of a week, whereas before I had not been to interview for a year. I am very impressed with Jane and her wisdom of the jobs market and would recommend her to anyone who is in despair and on their last legs for that immediate boost and confidence."
