Personal Testimonial
Dear Michael,
Four or more years ago, I sent a letter to you, when I was at the very lowest point of my entire life. At that time, I was deeply depressed, extremely frustrated and at my wits end...as a result of long-term unemployment, and my inability to dig my way out of the rut I'd got myself into. I'd lost hope...and I was bitter, resentful and angry....as well as sadder than at any other time in my life. I was a broken man.
In response to my emotive letter, you were moved enough and compassionate enough to offer me free of charge, other material to help me. I deeply appreciated the fact that you genuinely cared about me and my plight, and made such a generous gesture. Your compassion and the fact that you genuinely did care about me and wanted to help me up, meant more than any material thing. You have me some respite from the negativity and gloom, and gave me reason to lift my head up and try harder.
All these years later, I'm writing to thank you from the bottom of my heart...for changing my life. An idea outlined in your book ("Surfing your horizons"), completely changed my life and its direction. The idea I speak of is: "If you can't find or get the job
you want...create it." That single concept inspired
me to think outside the square (that I'd been focusing on and continually failing at), and pursue other possibilities. Doing so...has allowed me to create EXACTLY the type of job for myself, that I've always wanted. Namely, one combining my expertise, experience and extremely strong passion for each of these fields
International Business, Japanese, and Motorcycles.
Anyway Michael...I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, for providing me with an idea, that has seen me drag myself out of the depths of despair, and completely transform my life and future prospects. Your idea has allowed me to create for myself the opportunity to make myself richer, happier and more fulfilled than I ever dared dream was possible. For that...I will be eternally grateful to you, Michael. You inspired me...and in my life, you have made a world of difference.
With deepest thanks,
David C. Gordon B.Int.Bus.

I believe the content of The Perfect Career (Job-Search) trainer's Manuals were precisely what was needed to motivate the Job seekers
Having used the Perfect Career Manuals over a six month period, starting a new group every three weeks, as Job Search Trainer I had a phenomenal success rates placing people into work. Out of 260 clients our team found suitable work for all but 1 Job seeker either during or in the three months after completing the course. 85% of the job placements found resulted in sustainable employment. The in depth skills audit ensured we matched people to jobs which utilized their strengths and minimized their weaknesses and in employment they enjoyed.
The fact the package is ready to run and requires little or no preparation is a huge bonus and the motivational aspects of the course inspire both the presenter and the Job Seeker. Consequently I have now gone on to establish my own business Mojo- Mentoring Options and Job Opportunities working in Career Counselling and Management Consultant to the Job Network and DEA (Disability Employment Assistance) Agencies.

"Having been involved for many years delivering job search training, I agree that one of the benefits of this resource is that it is already prepared and compiled, ready to go. They are a wonderful resource, with the material being presented in a manner that is very easy to follow. Of particular note is the ability to deliver each of the modules as a stand-alone unit, and the ability to "mix and match" the modules to focus on specific areas. I would recommend trainers, organisations and in particular Secondary Schools, to seriously consider the purchase of the resources."

Quotations from School Career Advisers
"The manuals have saved the classroom teachers hours in preparation time"
"A practical, generic work preparation course which reflect the author’s workplace experience and gives students a competitive edge on job-seeking."
"Comprehensive, easy to use, can be used as a ‘stand alone’ or supplemented program."
"(The Perfect Career Trainer's Manuals') changed the emphasis in my careers program."
"Inspirational, motivational material".
"It gives the student control over their life, direction in life, and
helps them to aim at something to give them motivation in their studies (a career goal)."
"I like the idea of breaking ground with junior students and preparing seniors before subject choices, UAC etc. I'm constantly thinking of ways to improve career education in the school. A workshop at the end of Year 10 after the School Certificate could be a valuable use of time in preparation for Year 11."
"Will certainly brighten my careers-work education vocational education program."
"Very useful lists of principles and common sense ideas that help to give a comprehensive approach to these topics."
"The fact that we have had a recognized course made available with priority of designated units."
"The whole resource package - as I have had no formal training in careers-job search - this course has given me a large amount of resources, which is practical and very useful, for my students."
"It is highly relevant and workable for use in our careers training at school and I can see how we can implement it immediately. It has been personally challenging in terms of my own job satisfaction and career path."
"It has given me the confidence and motivation to start planning and
implementing this incredibly valuable aspect of vocational education."
"Good sound, interesting presentation with believable information.
Useful ideas and approaches to introducing 'interviews' in the classroom."
"As a 'new' person in this area of VET in schools I found the manuals invaluable. It's so logical and practical. The skills audit and personal characteristic audit I found particularly important as well as the statistics (20,000 different jobs)."
"To change my emphasis and start to 'think' more about what I give my students. To seek more time to present a program like this."
"It encourages students to 'own' their career plan."
