Phil Sterne | Executive Career Transition Partner Bewertungen 

Working with Phil was the best ever experience! Phil did much more than just provide a new and interesting CV, he gave me confidence. I very much appreciated Phil’s collaborative approach and now consider him a friend.

I recently attended "How to Go IT Alone" hosted by Phil as part of my research into launching my business.

I had a specific question about brand and reach which Phil tackled head on. Very quickly he was able to provide me valuable suggestions how I could reframe my current offering. The session was really organic ad as such extremely valuable - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Phil and look forward to engaging in future sessions

I recently attended Phil's Go It Alone in 2025 webinar.

Firstly, Phil is to be commended for his adaptability as he tailored the session really well to suit the audience. His coaching questions allowed me to voice something I had perhaps had known for a while deep down but had never allowed myself to consciously acknowledge which will take me away from a place where I've become quite stuck.

In what turned out to be a bit of a group coaching session, it was also great to see how others benefited from the session and one of the other participants also had a rather enlightening revelation - you could see the light bulb moment when realisation hit!

I really liked Phil's coaching style too; it was effective, but without the questions leaving you feeling overly coached.

Phil is much further on in his freelancing journey than and his insights were really helpful. I've already bought his new book to read and am sure our paths will be crossing again.

I am a, new to the game, Solopreneur and I had a coaching session with Phil and it was really valuable. I had some amazing insights during our conversation. One in particular, that he managed to tease out of all the muddle I was spouting, was super powerful and gave me so much clarity on what has been holding me back, underneath it all.

Phil is really good at finding a way to articulate, what you struggle to find the words for. Its a very safe environment and he is fond of an analogy or two which I found really helped my understanding and perspective.

It was only our first session and will definitely be booking more sessions. Thanks, Phil!

Phil has helped me immeasurably by extracting me from a work related rut, building my confidence and helping me channel energy into exploring new employment opportunities.

Over the course of a few sessions we covered a new CV, Linked In profiles and guidance within the job market. Phil has an uncanny knack of extracting meaningful information from you, making you really think and assess all achievements, however insignificant you may think them, and ordering thoughts into cleverly constructed real sentences. No AI required here!

I am thrilled with how my CV has been developed and Phil quite clearly knows his stuff.

I can’t recommend Phil highly enough.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Phil as he helped me rework my CV. It had been a few years since it was last updated and so it was in need of a glow-up and the insightful input of an experienced recruitment specialist.

Phil undertook the task with empathy, taking time to understand me and my work experience, and he unearthed the nuggets worthy of putting on display and made them shine.

His approach balances eloquent expression with rational practicality, while making the entire exercise a pleasure.

I’m grateful to have connected with Phil and to have been the beneficiary of his esteemed wisdom. I look forward to working with him again as new opportunities arise. Thanks Phil!

Dealing with Phil was a pleasure from start to finish and he really gets it!

It might not be the silver bullet but for me the first time out of the gate with the new CV I secured the new role

I would highly recommend Phil. He really helped with my confidence and interview ability.

His coaching and advice was very tailored to me and my individual needs. Very knowledgable and a great guy.

Phil is highly recommended. Second time Phil has helped me with my CV and both times he had delivered excellent results and generated immediate interest from potential opportunities I had. He has a great knack of asking probing questions to really draw out the things that will help sell you.

Our son was struggling with confidence and structure for job interviews.

Having been aware of Phil’s work for some time I got in touch discussed options and agreed a plan.

Our son through himself at it, Phil did what he does best and our son is:

Confident and capable in interviews and getting results.

Has had a knock on into his general confidence and approach to career

Equipped with this skill for life.

A great investment

I found myself without a job after almost 30 years with the same company - deciding what to do next and how to go about it could only be achieved after i understood what i wanted my next move to be. I knew i would never get a better chance to re-evaluate my options than at that point - Having regular chats with Phil changed my perspective, i was very fixed in what i thought my options were. Through discussion, Phil and i explored many different ideas, he asks the searching questions that helped me clarify what it was i really wanted and just as important, didn't want. If you find yourself at a foggy crossroads in your career, i would recommend getting in touch with Phil Sterne, i certainly don't regret it, he helped me enormously.

Phil made me think and reflect. I had to dig deep into my past experiences, skills I had acquired along the way, and had almost brushed aside, but realized how valuable they had been.
I did not now know what to expect at the outset. Initially, Phil offered pro bono support to sharpen my CV. It soon became apparent, however, that it needed a complete overhaul and rethink.
Phil's constant challenging and incisive questioning allowed me to both reflect on my tangible achievements. Hel gave me the space and time and was patient even when I changed my mind a few times.
In the end this wasn't a CV writing interaction but a real career coaching experience that made me think hard about what I really wanted to do and the output is the best refection of me and what I can offer.

I had a great reflective mentoring session with Phil, around my recent switch to freelance work. He is a personable guy but his experience of coaching and guidance clearly shows. Phil is empathetic but gets to the point, gives you space to reflect, and works on pinpointing what will give you a sense of purpose as well as more practical aspects. I came away from the session energised, more focussed, and with some areas to work on.

I worked with Phil over a few sessions to develop my CV. He took the time to learn about me and what made me tick and was able to tease out skills and experiences that I hadn't realised would be important. He was able to word smith my career eloquently with very fast turn around times for version review. Such a relaxed and enlightening experience. Thanks Phil

With 25 years of experience, Phil delivered a through and objective review of my outdated cv. He provided very clear advice updating my format and layout and importantly, highlighting my strengths and discarding the clutter. He has a very easy going nature which makes working with Phil effortless and his advice will showcase the best of you!

Phil has been working with me since I started my business in 2019. He does an outstanding job of writing executive CVs and I always receive amazing feedback, not only on the quality of his work, but also on the process he goes through to get people to think about their careers. Phil is also a charismatic and engaging presenter and does a great job delivering CV workshops for my clients. If you're looking for an executive CV writer, look no further than Phil!

I contacted Phil as I was looking to find a new role and needed some help revamping my CV. As I had been in the same industry for over 10 years I didn't necessarily want to stay there, Phil spent time understanding my skills and experience to create a CV that would allow me to apply and be considered for alternative opportunities. He is great at getting to the nuts and bolts of what you did and how you did it! He has kept in touch since then, and made some tweaks and given me slightly different versions for specific role types. His style is very open and transparent and tells it like it is! My CV is no longer a snooze fest!

Phil knows his stuff!
I contacted Phil to assist in breaking the impasse I had with a CV & Linkedin profile that wasn’t working. We entered a structured and professional process where he was able to extract, document, and finesse my experiences as a senior manager. He is down to earth, supportive, and engaging. Importantly, his extensive experience in HR draws out your key skills & attributes and gets them communicated in a format that works. Having compared Phil with other online CV service providers I'd say he is WAY better than any AI app or linkedin offering i found..

I am just as cynical about career coaches as the next person, but there I was, facing career and life changes, and I thought, 'maybe I should try someone.' A quick Google search left me pretty much convinced it was not worth my time. That is, until I stumbled upon a link to Phil's straight-talking approach. After the first meeting with Phil, who helped me see a much broader picture of my life ambitions, I knew this experience would be different.

Sure, it’s not as straightforward as just rewriting a CV; and yes, there will be homework and self-reflection. But is it worth it? Absolutely, emphatically, and totally yes. If you truly want to explore where you are heading and why (and yes, get a CV/LinkedIn profile in shape), then I can wholeheartedly recommend Phil as a trusted partner to achieve your goals.

When I was navigating the choppy waters of redundancy, I had the good fortune of connecting with Phil, who provided me with exceptional outsource support. But his influence extended far beyond the confines of conventional work support.

Provided during fortnightly sessions over a three month period, Phil’s advice wasn’t only a beacon in the professional realm but also a guiding light in personal endeavours. He didn’t only focus on motivation and strategy. Following his counsel, I've not only realigned my career trajectory but also achieved personal health goals that seemed distant dreams.

In the gym, where the battle is as much with the weights as it is with your will, Phil's words echoed, propelling me to hit targets I had almost given up on. His holistic approach to coaching encapsulates the essence of a true mentor – one who sees the potential in you across all spectrums.

To say Phil will be an asset to any individual or organisation is an understatement. He is the architect of aspirations and the builder of both careers and character. If you're looking for someone to help you navigate through the complexities of your professional life while also championing your health and well-being, look no further.

Thank you, Phil, for being more than just a support provider – for being a catalyst for change, a cheerleader for health, and a coach in the truest sense.
