“Thank You for this fantastic Webinar. The content and speaker were super relevant in supporting me in the transition back to the workforce. As a result of utilising key take aways from the event I was able to put a plan of action into place. I rebranded my LinkedIn and CV and it has resulted in a shocking rate of response and job interviews!”

“Just the right amount of time sharing a number of really useful & practical take always. Many thanks”
“Thanks for the great work you are doing…..it really is an inspiration :)”
Really excellent, enjoyable and motivational webinar. Thanks to you, Eoghan and the Indeed team for facilitating. Eoghan touched on a really relevant topic as regards self doubt and having confidence in what you have to offer future employers as a returner despite gaps in your working career or working in a part-time capacity. As a returner, this is what I find is personally challenging despite my qualifications and past experience.
Thank you Gina, Jean and Niamh for all the knowledge and experience shared and the commitment from all of you. It was truly enjoyable and had a sense of joy after every session 🙂 great course and team.
I think what I found most illuminating was that I am not unique. I mean that in a good way. Even in the small breakout group, there was another lady who’s story seemed to be very much like mine. It’s always good to know you are not the only one.

Dear Magdalena and Gina,
A short note to say thank you for a great opportunity. I had a great session this evening. The input and support from Magdalena has given me a lot of food for thought and a lot of tips and tricks that I will use in my next interview.
Thank you both very much for your time and effort; it has been a very positive and encouraging experience.
Kind Regard

Without Gina and Back To Work Connect giving me a place on Skills 4 Success I would still be at home wondering if I was ever going to get back to work. My coach helped me identify the skills I had and the skills I had learned while I was at home with the kids.
I would highly recommend to anybody to take the first step, its tough but so doable.

It was a great opportunity to get personalised advice on my CV. I have a much better understanding now of where I was going wrong and how I can improve my CV.
Thank you Collette and Gina for organising.
Judith
I can’t fault Jean, her honesty is refreshing, I found myself relating to her struggles and nodding along. I’ve yet to take the first steps to returning (well, last night was the first step I suppose!) and I am a bit more motivated because of it.
Thank you
