“I was selected to interview for my dream job with an excellent company. My only problem was that I hadn't successfully landed a job in past interviews! So, I thought to myself, if I am going to win this one, I need some help from someone who can jump in with both feet and coach me to success. I went online and found Peter from Connections Career Coaching. The rest is history!"
