Salesmen/Cowboys

I paid and had a cv consultation where they came without having looked at my cv. It was mostly a sales pitch for the packages.
This company used to be a sales company. And that makes a lot of sense to me.
My experience with them is that they are pushy and are only concerned about their reputation, yet are not concerned about providing a good service or behaving in a reputable manner. They told me on multiple occasions that I lied when I have proof that they lied to me and changed their company website after having attempted to have me sign an NDA. I have shown it to solicitors and they have been shocked that I was asked to sign this and told me it wouldn’t hold up in court.
Their refund policy is invalid as it is restricts your consumer rights. You can consult CPCC in Ireland to find out what they are. The refund agreement they refer to is an NDA. Where you are entitled to a refund, by law, you do not need to sign an NDA.
They are not trustworthy.

Read TCC response as:
If a client criticises us in any way, we blame them and accept no accountability and defame them. Our success rates are dubious, as is our star rating, as we do not inform clients of their consumer rights and try to gaslight and manipulate them into thinking that they cannot legally criticise us by withholding refunds until they have signed an NDA.

We always welcome constructive feedback that will enable us to improve our service and it is something that we seek from our clients regularly. Thankfully, everything that has been mentioned in this review about our business and most importantly our team is completely untrue.

We are extremely proud of the phenomenal people (clients and team members) we have had the privilege to work with so far and we take the utmost care in each and every relationship. We're not perfect by any means but we do our utmost to ensure we identify the specific support each of our clients require in advance of them making the decision to purchase one of our programmes and then deliver it, which is why we have the best success rate in Ireland and the UK.

On the rare occasions that a new client changes their mind following their decision to purchase one of our Career programmes we will and have provided a full and complete refund so they can find the services that best suit their needs which is exactly what happened in this scenario.

We are committed to only working with people that understand the unique value that we can bring to them, and their Career. For those that can't see the value, we will always try to part ways amicably and wish them the best of luck with their future Career.

Excellent n effective career coaching

Thank you career coach
I have to say, career coach has been a guiding star to my career. I had a gap of 11 years from my insurance career due to various reasons. This year I decided to get back and That's when I came across career coach through instagram in July first week,and i instantly applied. In no time Rory from career coach contacted me, heard what I needed, analysed my career and assigned me a career coach Ian. I had CV session and linkedin session with Ian , this helped me change my CV and LinkedIn profile in an effective manner. I would say there was proper follow ups and feedbacks by career coach Ian. The result was my LinkedIn views increased by more than 50 views per week. By July 26th I got an interview call from a well known insurance co. 28th July I was shortlisted and selected. Im very happy about the outcome of all this effort, I never expected to be this fast.
Career coach has an effective and systematic coaching in place and I would suggest career coach to anyone who is looking to transform or change career. I thank Ian and the career coach team. I would like to continue this relation with career coach.

Success depends on choice

In one word: Effectiveness! The Carrer Coach team helped me when I was strugling to understand how to expose my knowledge in a new country. With methodology and experience they led me through a path that I first thought would take two years in less than 5 months. Really helpful and I strongly recommend!
