Recent Testimonials
Working with Pippa was like having my own personal cheerleader who isn’t your family. It felt so good to have a professional in my corner who knows about today’s recruiting practices and can share relevant knowledge but from an employer's perspective. Just from working on my resume my outlook on the job search process improved immensely and my confidence grew. Pippa helped me find a new job after 35 years in the same company in just a few months.

For me the most impressive or the most valuable takeaway came from interview preparation and later working through a decision-making process when I was presented with multiple job offers. They went into such details in the interview prep stage that they would give me feedback on how I sound over the phone, or how to say things a little differently, how to be more confident. Having an employment professional prepare you for an interview is invaluable.

I struggled to find the job on my own as I have a disability. I needed someone to help me find a job that is suitable for me, something I can do well. From the moment I came to Centre for Skills I felt that I will be well taken care of here. They helped me prepare my resume, do a job search based on what I wanted and not based on what is available out there. They practiced interviewing with me and in the end I had a job that is perfect for me.
