“Do You Do Job Applications for [X Type of Role]?” — Here’s My Honest Answer

This is a question I get asked a lot, so let’s clear it up with love and honesty.
Yes, I do support job applications… but only for teachers inside The Confident Career Leader Programme.
And I’d love to share why - not to gatekeep, but to genuinely give you the best experience possible.
Job Applications Aren’t Just Paperwork
Most people think it’s as simple as handing over a form and getting a quick edit. But that’s not how real support works - at least, not the kind that actually lands interviews.
To write an application that stands out, I need to get to know you. I ask the right questions, help you shape your story, and refine the wording so that your voice shines through. This process often involves multiple drafts, tweaks, and time - especially if you're still building confidence with competency-based forms.
I Want You to Feel Fully Supported (Not Stressed and Rushed)
The truth is, many teachers procrastinate on applications - not because they’re lazy, but because it’s overwhelming. Life gets in the way. Last-minute panics happen.
And if you’re only looking for a quick review, chances are you might end up feeling stressed, under-supported, and unprepared for what comes next: interviews.
That’s why inside The Confident Career Leader Programme, we pair job application support with interview mentoring — so you’re never left hanging.
This Isn’t Just About a Job - It’s About Backing Yourself
When you choose to join the programme, you’re not just buying help with a form.
You’re saying “yes” to yourself. You’re declaring that your next career move matters - and that you’re ready to give it the energy, time, and investment it deserves.
It’s not just about getting it done. It’s about doing it right - and having someone walk alongside you the whole way.
So yes, I do help with job applications - but only when we’re all in, together.
Because that’s when the magic happens.
