PARENTS

“Jaine Edge knows how to make a difference in young people’s lives. She generously shares her skills and deep understanding of people so that young adults can feel good about what makes them tick, what makes them different, what makes them wonderful. 

As a parent/mentor you want to guide them but not suffocate them, provide for them but also encourage and  develop their independence and confidence.  My daughter is 15 and a typical teenager questioning who she is and how she fits in.  We met with Jaine so that she could explain the profiling results and how to use the valuable information & my daughter has gained a healthy understanding for what makes her tick and how that might influence what she chooses to do with her ongoing studies. 

Unexpectedly, we also found that the session was a wonderful bonding experience for us in that it helped us understand each other better, our different personality traits and strengths, things that challenge us and where we shine, which gives us a much better appreciation for each other.

If you have teenagers, look at what Jaine offers, it enriches relationships understanding why we think and behave as we do. “

YOUNG AT HEART

“What with children, life, work and now grandchildren, we hadn’t made the time to sit together and really talk about what we want for years.  Having the planned sessions with Jaine made me do that so we could make some decisions in advance of retirement”.

CVs

Young people:

“Jaine recently held a training session on ‘Navigating New Job Opportunities’ at my organisation. She also coached me in updating my CV, exploring new career options and navigating in the WA job market. Jaine put a lot of research and effort into her training and coaching and I would like to thank her for going far beyond the usual effort for me.”

Professional:

“Jaine’s help on my CV and covering letter was amazing – she developed a CV that is modern, fresh and professional.  It’s easy to follow and industry focused, drawing attention to essential skills that I had even overlooked!”

Interview coaching:

“Re-entering the job market after some time away raising children, I was lacking confidence in my ability to promote myself effectively at interview. I visited Jaine for some interview coaching and CV support. Jaine is a very professional, knowledgeable and engaging person and I felt relaxed as soon as I walked through the door. By the end of the meeting, I felt confident and excited about what the future may bring.  Her suggestions and tips for interviewing were relevant and helpful and I left feeling confident about how to tackle my next interview”.

Job workshop:

“I recently attended a great workshop with Jaine focused on resume, job application and interview preparation. The workshop was really interactive and Jaine’s personable manner encouraged input from all the attendees, which created an open and relaxed atmosphere. I found the information provided by Jaine in the workshop and the course materials really helpful. I’ve been able to completely revamp my resume so it is now much more succinct and powerful. After the workshop, Jaine personally reviewed my revised resume and provided great feedback to enhance it further. I’m really grateful for the expert advice Jaine provided.”

CAREER TRANSITION

“I sold my business in which I worked for over 11 years and I was keen to change direction and find new challenges. I had previously contracted Jaine to mentor new managers in my business and setup the organisation’s HR policy, but now needed assistance with my own direction. Jaine’s friendly, thorough and efficient manner quickly helped me crystalise my core competencies and formulate a plan for change. This coupled with casting an expert eye over my CV and conducting some interview coaching landed me with just the role and challenge I needed”.

REDUNDANCY

“Revamping your resume can be a daunting task! Jaine’s advice enabled me to create a resume that not only demonstrated my past experience but more importantly focused on how I would actually do the job. This was achieved by providing proof that I could solve the problems & challenges faced by the potential employer and contribute to their bottom line. I was successful in my application and with Jaine’s support I was able to move from the government to the private sector and change industry in the process.”
