"Jo is an absolute pleasure to work with, a wealth of knowledge and advice and has been truly something special in the time we worked together. She helped me to gain the skills and knowledge and find ones that I already had within in me to find meaningful employment for the first time in a long time.
Entering the job search is daunting for anyone, but with Jo, I had the confidence in being able to do so and always knew she was there to support at any time.
Working with Jo you can see she truly cares about those she's helping and genuinely loves what she does. I'll be forever grateful to Jo and went from low confidence, self esteem and belief to gaining employment in only a matter of weeks which truly blew me away. Thank you Jo, truly!"

Leanne
"I came across Jo via a posting on a Defence FB site about a resume webinar and then discovered the PEAP funding that was available to me. Following our most recent posting, I enlisted her services to help me change jobs and get my career back on track to align with my qualifications. Over regular zoom meetings and viewing her tutorials I created a standout resume, cover letter and linked in profile. I felt well prepared for the first two interviews I attended and received job offers for both!
I felt incredibly empowered and very sure of myself, traits that over the years as an Army spouse you tend to lose.
I am very grateful for the time that Jo gave to me, always making herself available to provide advice, encourage and assist me every step of the way and her bubbly personality made her such a pleasure to deal with."
Emma
"Working with Jo has easily been one of the highlights of my year, and I will be forever grateful that I leant into the PEAP process with her.
Working through her program has given me the skills to build my resume, cover letter & LinkedIn profile, and present my best self in an interview. But more then just the practical skills, Jo has been my biggest cheerleader, helping me to find confidence in my own abilities.
This process has been transformative for me, and that all comes down to the amazing person Jo is. Her experience from both sides of the defence partner employment equation is invaluable, and I looked forward to our sessions immensely.
If you are on the fence, please don't let yourself overthink it - jump in! Oh & the results speak for themselves - 5 applications, 4 interviews leading to 4 offers!!"
