Isobel’s story

Isobel was working in TV and film production until the sudden shut down due to COVID-19 restrictions meant she lost her job.

Whilst in the process of looking for a new role, she was directed by her Jobcentre Plus coach to Steps Ahead Mentoring, for advice on employment skills and recruitment. After signing up, she was matched with CIPD member and volunteer mentor, Wensdae Lucas.

“Having a sounding board and someone in your corner in the form of a mentor has been a real help. I feel far more hopeful, confident and informed about what I can achieve.”

Luke signed up in October 2020 and was matched with mentor Samantha Giblin.

“Sign up for mentoring, it’s simple. I just clicked on a link to the CIPD website and registered. They’ll give you advice and help you in your job search.”
