Dear Jonathan

I underwent career coaching with you last August ...thanks for your time - it was exactly what I needed at that time - when I was struggling to see the wood for the trees. (3 year PQE Associate Solicitor - 2010).

Dear Jonathan

I just wanted to say a quick thank you because I have finally been offered a training contract by (Magic Circle Firm) and I have no doubt that your coaching helped me immensely. It was my first interview since our meeting and I felt that the interview was completely different from any that I had done before because I implemented all of your tips! Thank you very much! (Trainee Solicitor - 2009)

Great to hear from you Jonathan. I enjoyed our meeting very much. Thanks for all the work you've done on my CV as you're quite right - it certainly did need major revision. I can certainly fill in the remaining gaps. ... thank you once again - it's great to be encouraged like that and I really did enjoy our conversation. You clearly have an encyclopaedic inside-knowledge of legal recruitment issues and yet I also found you to be friendly, approachable and full of useful, practical ideas." (Law Entrant 2006).

 

Hello Jonathan,
 
I hope you are well. Some time ago (in 2005 if memory serves me correctly) I met with you in Oxford to discuss my legal career prospects.
 
In 2007 I moved to New Zealand with my Kiwi girlfriend. I recently qualified as a barrister and solicitor of the High Court of New Zealand (after further study and professional training).
 
The feedback and advice you provided was very useful indeed. I have a great job with a litigation firm. This is just a quick message to say thank you for your help and support.
 
Kind regards,
 
DP, New Zealand. May 2009.
 

Jonathan Fagan, LLM, MIRP, MAC, Cert RP, Solicitor (non-practising)

"You encouraged me to look at doing something different in my career, which I have done and it's paying off - Thank you."
"The advice provided was very useful as it was personal and tailored to my previous qualifications, work experience and career prospects."
"Utilising this service opened up my eyes to consider my options and career changes that I had not previously looked at. Invaluable advice on CV also."
"I was very impressed with the first class service I received."
