True Path Careers

I've been a full-time CV writer since 2020, but I've been helping people grow and develop, learning my craft and building my multidisciplinary professional portfolio for much longer.

Before I founded my own business, and with a lifelong thirst for learning and self-development, I had a varied career. I've worked and trained in finance, IT, project & programme management, health & safety, general business management, leadership and strategy. Looking back, my organic progression was fortuitously logical and has led me to a job that I love that makes a real difference to people's lives.

My professional journey sometimes meant making difficult decisions.

I've stayed too long in jobs or organisations that weren't working out, worked in toxic cultures, done my boss's job, battled office politics and had to dig deep to find resilience. I understand what it's like to feel unfulfilled, low in confidence and needing to learn how to take the next step.

But I've also experienced the very best of the workplace.

I've had some amazing mentors and managers, had the privilege of helping fantastic employees launch and progress their careers, and been gifted with opportunities for development. I’ve built and led wonderful teams and coached individuals through their own journeys. My progression through the ranks, between organisations and across specialities, helped to prepare me for the next chapter of my career as an accomplished CV writer.

I now aim to be the career guide for professional people that I never had.

As an 'ambivert' - naturally an introvert who can 'get out there' when I need to - I know how hard it can be to sell yourself. But my professional and leadership experience, coaching ethos, and ability to listen and ask the right questions means that I'm very good at helping others identify and realise their own skills, achievements and fabulous qualities.

I keep my skills current even when I'm not working with my CV clients, providing ad hoc financial and strategic business case support to a brand new global digital learning business within the University of Nottingham.

I'm also an 'accountability buddy' to a fellow business owner, helping her to achieve her business growth goals. In early 2021 I founded a successful business networking company, which I ran until July 2023, only giving this up to release more time to focus on my CV clients.

When I'm not working, you can find me out for a walk, mooching around a historic house, at a dance or yoga class, or looking after my small flock of rescue chickens.
