ADVICE and
MENTORSHIP
Job search come to a grinding halt?
Stressed about what to do next or who to ask?
Really want your CV to make an impact?
Unsure of how to approach a new role?
Stuck in a rut and wanting to know what else is out there?
Don’t know what your strengths are or what skills are best suited to which roles?
Need someone in-the-know to bounce ideas off?
For all of this and so much more, I am here to help you with specific costume career focused advice and mentorship!
Just use the links below to contact me and book your session!
I remember how frustrating it was to graduate and not really know how to get a job in costume. Even when I did get the odd freelance position (more by luck than judgement) I wasn’t sure how to make the most of the opportunities. I didn’t know how to find jobs, how to apply (or what was actually involved in each role half the time) and worst of all I had no one to ask!
Even when I was doing really well, I always felt that somehow I was winging it, that I’d missed a step and everyone else knew something I didn’t.
That frustration and paranoia has stayed with me, and all through my own (surprisingly) successful costuming career I have shared my experience and coached my placement students and friends with their career sticking points whenever I could. They have put the work in and over the years it's been a joy to see them become wonderfully successful in their various fields.
Now it’s time to extend that help to you too! Let me be your mentor and careers assistant as well!
I can’t promise miracles and I don’t have a magic jobs-wand, but I do have 25 years of experience, a wide network of contacts and a lot of enthusiasm.
Whether you want a one-off session, or to talk once a month or even once a week, I know you can do this and I’m here to help.
