Bio
Kelle S.
I worked with Jenny when she helped me fix my CV and she did such an amazing job. She was very professional and I really appreciated her insight and recommendations. It's clear to see how passionate she is about helping people get the job they want. I would definitely recommend working with Jenny if your CV is in need of a revamp - you will not regret it!

Jenny has worked for me for several years, teaching Business Writing at City, University of London. She has been an excellent teacher, consistently receiving first-rate feedback from her students and always going the extra mile to keep her teaching fresh, relevant and rewarding for each group. She is also a thoroughly lovely person and a joy to work with! I can't recommend her highly enough and am really sorry to see her leave her post at City, though I know she is already doing a stellar job in her new role.

Jenny's CV workshop was the shot in the arm I needed to refine and revise this key document... 10/10 would recommend!
