As an expat returning to the UK from 7 years in the Middle East I was recommended to blowleaf through a friend who was placed in a senior digital role by them and spent sometime amidst this pandemic with Daine and Alex going through experiences, potential career next steps, preferences, general sanity checking and sound boarding.

The discussions ensured I thought long and hard and the career mapping process helped focus the thinking and approach. The consequent and detailed build of a CV and LinkedIn profile was the professional icing on the cake and is something I am proud to have and share. Apart from this, both Daine and Alex offer real insight and perspective and are a real pleasure to talk to and work with. I cannot recommend blowleaf highly enough to anyone who needs advice on their career path in this difficult time.

They were there to build confidence, have great connections and built me back up to go on to bigger and better things!

I was made redundant during the COVID pandemic, as part of my redundancy package I was given Blowleaf's support but I can honestly say I wouldn't hesitate to pay for their services from my own finances.

The Blowleaf team did all their due-diligence, understood my experience and employment history and then supported my needs perfectly. 

Nothing was too much for Daine and Alex, they are super experienced, really organised and very much invested in my success.

They became an extra arm to my job hunting and were my biggest fans throughout my time of uncertainy.

Through their support and education, not only did I find a new role within 5 weeks of my redundancy but was also offered 3 jobs all in the same day. Even in normal times that is nothing to be scoffed at but I say I was working with them during the COVID pandemic.

These guys are amazing and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of career advice, no matter your age or experience/role level.

Everyone has career "forks in the road" and it can be challenging to address the options logically and independently.

Talking with a blowleaf advisor is like having a coffee with a really good mate and an expert in your job sector"

Having hit rock bottom at my previous employment, I’d finally realised I had no choice but to hand in my notice for the sake of my mental health and the happiness of my family. However, I soon realised why I’d hung on there for so long… a stifling combination of fear of the unknown and an almighty lack of confidence. Understanding how stuck I was I searched for help and luckily I found blowleaf. 

Their career MOT established that I needed to work on my very old and tired CV and possibly consider some coaching sessions to help me recognise my career aims and get rid of the doubts and fears that were holding me back at the time. The CV stimulation process in itself was way more helpful than I expected and working through the various defining questions raised by my blowleaf advisor enabled me to clarify where I was and what I wanted to achieve. As exciting was the way my new bespoke CV read and looked which gave me a renewed overview of my skills and abilities, and the confidence to start sending my CV out to potential employers.

For me the journey didn’t end with a job offer, it was even better than that…I now have my own company, making my own decisions and enjoying every minute of my working days.

I can’t thank the team at blowleaf enough, and every penny that I invested in that journey was money well spent. I strongly advise anyone feeling stuck, lost or confused about their career or career path to give blowleaf a call.

Blowleaf provides a timely and expert approach to repackage yourself for the job you want

Having found myself in a position of having to make a change in careers since Covid hit, I was faced with the prospect of not really knowing what I wanted to do or what sort of roles I would be best qualified to aim for. Having a few conversations with the guys at Blowleaf helped me to question and focus on what I am good at and what my skills might be best suited to. They helped me to think about what I actually enjoy doing and equally as important what I don’t want to do. 

For me the most useful aspect of the ‘pick n mix’ style service they offer was the CV writing. It came back with such a professionally designed finish and sharp writing that I am now confident to send it out to prospective employers, and that it will set me apart from the mass of other CV’s they see.

I think the timing of a service like Blowleaf could not be better, in the light of the changing work-landscape for so many people. One is able to choose which aspects of the service they need and have invaluable conversations and professional insights to re-package themselves ready to take the next step in their career.

After spending a year looking to restart my career, going from small job to small job, blowleaf transformed the way I present myself and helped me target the career I really wanted.

It’s the first time I’ve consulted someone for career advice, it takes a lot for me to ask for help from anyone, but I am so glad I did; blowleaf are insightful, knowledgable, very approachable and professional.

I recommend their services to anyone who. is searching for work; we all have hidden talents and jobs we can enjoy rather than jobs in what we are just good at. My career advisor at blowleaf was very easy to talk to and he really helped highlight parts of myself I couldn’t see. After receiving my bespoke cv from blowleaf and understanding what I really wanted in my career, I was able to apply for a sales role at a large company I could have previously only dreamt of working for. I am now signing their employment contract after my cv secured an interview after competing with over 1000 other applicants. I want to thank the team at blowleaf for delivering clear and concise help as well as unwavering support throughout the journey. Thank you!

Thank you blowleaf! I could not have done this without you.

Having had to temporarily close my business during the first lockdown, I was in need of finding a new job for the first time in 15 years. 

After two months of applying to countless jobs and getting nothing but rejections. I was recommended to blowleaf.

This was the best recommendation I had all year. My coach Alex, got under the skin of my situation, my skills and experience and my enjoyment of work. Within a week I had a new CV, renewed confidence and had mapped out a range of opportunities. Four weeks later I had interviews for three different roles. 

I had two job offers and started a 12 month fixed term contract soon after.
