"I was recently needing support with writing an effective cover letter and impactful CV. Having been off the market for a long time my skills were outdated and I needed direction. I chose to work with Cheraine at Staffroom because I found her responsive, knowledgeable and friendly. She seemed to be helping others and having great results so I thought I would give her a try too. She helped me by coaching and empowering me to be part of the process of improving my writing skills in line with what today's market are looking for. I would recommend her because she not only made the whole process easy but she helped me to have more confidence in my own abilities and achievements. I now have some new skills which I can use to promote myself on the job market in the future. "

"Cheraine Escott at Staffroom is truly amazing at what she does. I purchased the Resume, LinkedIn and Cover Letter package, and I have never felt so confident going into the recruiting season. Her inquiry into my teaching practice and future goals, coupled with her writing technique yielded a resume that gives a clear view of who I am as an educator. Her guidance has helped me clarify my goals giving me the tools I need to work toward them. I wholeheartedly recommend Cheraine to help anyone with their career needs."

"I was applying for an internal promotion for a position I had previously been rejected. Since my last application, I had completed significant work within the school and now was in a position to better meet the key selection criteria. I sought support from Cheraine to help prepare for my interview. I had been watching Cheraine's clips on LinkedIn and was impressed by her calm manner and practical advice. Cheraine and I had an hour-long interview preparation session. She delivered sound, frank advice while boosting my confidence. The interview went well and I received positive feedback from the Principal. Once again I was not offered the position however the Principal encouraged me to apply for another, arguably larger, role within the school. He stated that my passion shone in the interview and was very keen for me to take on another position within the school. I would recommend Cheraine to anyone looking to advance their career in teaching. Her advice allowed me to voice my skills, tell my stories, and highlight how I can be an asset to a school. I was offered a significant promotion after my coaching session with her. Thank you Cheraine! I am now working in a job that is beyond my initial hopes for myself"

BOOK IT NOW"I was recently having a problem with improving my CV and making my LinkedIn profile stand out. I chose to work with Cheraine at Staffroom after she invited me to join her Staffroom group. The group was very helpful and inclusive, and the tips that Cheraine offered were on point. Cheraine took her time to speak with me and to understand my strengths. She transformed my CV from a generic document to a much more personal expression of my "self". What I particularly liked about her approach was the attention she gave me as a human rather than as an employee seeking a teaching post. I would absolutely recommend Cheraine to anyone who wants to highlight their skills and experience while still sounding authentic. I feel much more confident in sending my CV out to schools. Thank you so much Cheraine!"

"I have recently attended three masterclasses taught by Cheraine. I learned so much about resume writing, cover letter writing, and how to most effectively use LinkedIn. As a new international teacher, these skills will be invaluable during my career. Cheraine is easy to learn from and makes you feel welcome and comfortable working through processes that can be both very personal and tedious. I look forward to working with her again in the future and recommend her unreservedly."

"Attending my first Resume Masterclass I was a bit sceptical at the start, but after listening to the professional nature of Cheraine explaining the process in regards to ATS tracking systems, it was made clear why I wasn't getting the interviews I was hoping for. I will be 100% taking the next step in seeking her professional services (the Teacher Resume Package) as I feel with Covid the competitive nature to stand out is more important now than ever before. Thanks for opening my eyes."

"The class was so eye-opening on things we take for granted yet they make a great difference and the ability to play with words. It was so exciting and eye-opening for me personally. With the vast experience you shared, it clearly showed why I kept getting those "unfortunately you have not been selected for the next round" responses. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge, it was super helpful!"
