“The CCI team guided me step by step on my journey to restart my career after returning to Australia. The advice was practical, realistic and inspiring, helping me realize my true potential. Knowing and understanding your level of soft skills becomes increasingly important as we advance in our professional careers. CCI’s Soft Skills Assessment is an excellent tool to understand your abilities and identify your areas for improvement. This helped me a lot to improve my skills, do my marketing right and get a job in just a few weeks. I strongly recommend CCI’s services and their soft skills assessment.”
“Your guidance in terms of getting me through the interview was vital. With your guidance and some local experience I will be able to connect this opportunity for betterment.”
“Regarding the cooperation with you Michael, I cannot thank you enough for having accompanied me very closely and personally in the application process and for driving the entire process very actively without ever losing your patience and positive attitude. In working with you, I always felt that my interests were in good hands and that I was always well represented personally. You really took the time to understand me and my motivations and represented me very well with your customers.
It would be a great pleasure for me to continue working with you in the future and I will always warmly recommend you in and outside of my network.”
“It has been a great pleasure to work with CCI. The team are true professionals who are able to provide excellent career advice and guidance through a well‑structured one-on-one program/s. I enjoy working with Michael who brings his expertise in career counselling/mentoring, insights of job markets as well as employers’ job networks. I highly commend CCI to anyone who is looking for the next career move or planning for their future job opportunities.”
“The CCI program helped in my search for a job and helped my anxiety during the period. It took me 9 months, (last 5 months during Christmas with CCI) to find a job in my area. The Australian recruitment process is quite different from that of Brazil.”
“I’ve used the services of Mike during the last 3 months as I was unemployed for 15 days. Mike helped in several areas: building a good resume, testing my skills which is very useful, (for future companies but also for personal trust), it’s a systematic approach with introductions to contacts and experience interview training. I recommend the help of Mike without reservations.”
“I had the pleasure of meeting Michael through a headhunting process and I can say that I was extremely surprised by the exemplary professionalism, from the first step in which he contacted me, to the regular follow up and the fact that he was very proactive. I have no doubt that he is an example of a professional in an area that in my view is extremely critical. I recommend CCI’s services without any hesitation as I’m sure that he will perfectly handle your next professional challenge.”
“I suffered a lot when I arrived in Australia to understand the requirements and culture of the local job market and to find a job that fits my education and experiences, until one of my friends advised me to contact CCI for career and personal development services. The CCI Development Team has played a tremendous role in defining not only the corporate culture of Australia, but the country as a whole. As a direct result of their continuous efforts, effective training, and strong relationships in the job market, I have been appointed to one of the major international companies in Australia.
Being new to the Australian job market, it was helpful to find someone to provide me with guidance and support during this time.”
