It is clear that today’s job market is highly competitive, and landing a desired position can be quite challenging. I am incredibly grateful for the mentorship I received from Said during my journey to secure a role in the NHS.

He helped me set up my profile professionally, refine my personal statement, and navigate numerous NHS job applications. Said was there to support and guide me every step of the way. After submitting over 50 applications, I began receiving interview invitations. Said provided valuable assistance by conducting practice sessions and offering guidance that was essential for my success in each interview.

Ultimately, I was able to secure my desired job in the NHS in London. What seemed impossible and challenging was made achievable through hard work and Said's extensive experience. I successfully landed my job in a very short time frame. I am truly grateful to him, as I understand the immense value of mentorship. Having an experienced person in your corner who is willing to listen, support, and help you secure your desired role can make a significant difference.

From participating in my initial webinar to successfully securing a position within the National Health Service (NHS), the guidance I received proved to be invaluable. Said's encouragement and practical advice enabled me to overcome self-doubt, recognise the significance of my experience, and succeed in interviews, even during moments when I felt inclined to give up. With Said’s support, I secured five interviews, attended four, and ultimately received offers for three positions—an accomplishment I never imagined possible.

The aspect that resonated most was Said's steadfast support and belief in my potential. I initially began working part-time (20 hours) in my NHS role, in line with student restrictions, and have since transitioned to a full-time after completing my studies. I wholeheartedly recommend that anyone exploring opportunities within the NHS seek assistance from Prior and Future Career Consulting, as it truly makes a substantial difference.

Securing a professional job in the UK can be quite challenging, especially for international graduates like me. After earning my Master’s in International Business Management from Sheffield Hallam University, I found myself juggling various jobs just to make ends meet. My most recent role was as a Healthcare Assistant, where I worked both day and night shifts through an agency, which was quite difficult.

Things started to improve when a friend introduced me to Said and added me to his WhatsApp group. One day, I attended a webinar he hosted, during which two inspiring women shared their stories about how Said’s mentorship transformed their careers. Their experiences resonated with me, and I realised it was time to make a change in my own life.

With Said’s support in revamping my profile, reviewing my TRAC setup, and developing my personal statement, I launched my job search on 1 March 2025. I submitted over 60 applications, and thanks to his guidance, I received six interview invitations. I attended three of those interviews, and with his further support through extensive interview preparation, I received an offer on 31 March 2025. Within four weeks of starting my applications, I was thrilled to receive a fantastic call offering me the role of Business Support Supervisor.

My journey from merely surviving to embracing a professional role that aligns with my qualifications was not easy, but I held on to hope and did not give up. Even now, it feels surreal! I am truly grateful for Said’s mentorship and the amazing community he has fostered. Having the right guidance from someone who understands the system can be a game-changer. Just like that, I finally landed my dream job in the NHS!

I am extremely grateful to Prior and Future Career Consulting for their exceptional support throughout my job search journey. Their expertise in crafting personal statements and preparing for interviews was truly invaluable. The personalised coaching I received helped me articulate my skills and experiences effectively, making my application stand out.

I would especially like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Said, who went above and beyond to provide not only expert advice but also unwavering encouragement during moments when I felt overwhelmed by the process. His insightful feedback on my interview techniques and his moral support boosted my confidence significantly.

I am thrilled to have secured a position as a Medical Secretary in the NHS—a career goal I once thought was completely out of reach.

I highly recommend Prior and Future Career Consulting to anyone seeking professional, personalised, and compassionate career support. Their commitment to helping individuals achieve their career aspirations is truly remarkable.

I submitted more than 60 NHS applications before I joined Said's support group, and I was getting pretty discouraged because I never received an interview invitation. But everything changed once I became part of the group. The webinar I attended with Said opened my eyes to the areas where I really needed to improve my application and interview skills.

With his support, I developed a fresh approach, and he actively involved himself in my application process. After submitting new applications over a short time, I was thrilled to receive interview invitations within just seven days. Said helped me prepare thoroughly with mock interviews, which allowed me to pinpoint my weaknesses. His feedback was honest and super helpful, and it really boosted my confidence and performance during interviews.

When I went to my interviews, including my very first NHS interview, I ended up receiving a job offer and also attended three other interviews, which gave me valuable experience for future opportunities. I can’t thank Said and the wonderful team at Prior and Future Career Consulting enough for their amazing support. His guidance was key to my NHS career path, and I wholeheartedly recommend his mentorship to anyone who could use it.

His contributions have significantly aided numerous students and their dependants in securing their initial roles within the NHS or obtaining sponsored administrative positions, thereby facilitating their career development and integration into the UK workforce, acknowledging their investment in their education.
