Dear Jonathan, 
I just wanted to say a quick thank you because I have finally been offered a training contract 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!
LC, London, August 2008.

 

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.
 

"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." S.E, Carlisle.
