Philippa was excellent - she delivered an eloquently written and sophisticated on point cv, Linkedin profile, cover letter and associated artefacts. It gave me real confidence in my career journey. Thanks!

Arielle Executive has been a fantastic partner from the beginning. Their bespoke approach, close collaboration and supportive style helped develop a range of professional documents that perfectly suited my needs. The team were a great support in navigating changes I wanted to make in my professional profile and helped me articulate these perfectly. I would highly recommend their service and support.

I recently worked with Arielle Executive for the second time, and I can confidently say that my experience was just as fantastic as the first. Two years ago, I sought their help to revamp my resume and personal brand, and now I’ve returned for an update, and it was well worth it!The team at Arielle from the start took time to understand my individual experiences, skills, and ambitions. They have a knack for making the process feel less like a chore and more like a coaching session. I appreciated the opportunity to unpack my career journey with a knowledgeable third party, who provided valuable insights and perspective, as I had been in the same organization for 10 years, I needed the process as much as the collateral!The results were impressive! Not only did I receive a polished resume and strong personal brand materials, but my LinkedIn collateral was great. The final products not only reflect my professional background but also highlight my aspirations effectively.I’ve already recommended Arielle to friends and have seen them grow their careers as result. If you're looking to revisit and publish your work-self or just need a fresh take on your professional materials, I highly recommend Arielle Executive. Their expertise and personalized approach make a significant difference!

Using Arielle Executive to re-create my CV and Linkedin profile was a game changer. Having struggled to get to interview stage with my old CV, I had three interviews within weeks of the Arielle updates. An excellent and worthwhile process.

I highly recommend the team at Arielle Executive. Philippa Counsell wrote my resume in 2019, and I have subsequently worked with Philippa on two occasions to update my resume for a new career opportunity and for a general update to keep my resume current. On each occasion I have found Arielle's Career Meditation process highly beneficial as a precursor to my consultation with Philippa whom I'm always impressed with her level of perception, questioning and openness of conversation. Philippa has the great ability to extract and document key information from me which has been crucial in highlighting my professional achievements, my accomplishments, and my talents as an Executive leader and on occasions helping me position myself for job opportunities which I've always been the preferred or successful candidate for.

Philippa, Irene and the Arielle team have done an amazing job. The whole process was smooth, efficient and very professional. Philippa is an active listener, has deep understanding of the situation and is adept at turning a 'brain dump' of information into a cohesive, effective and attractive value proposition. She's easy to talk to, empathic and asks the right questions, which helped me to get a better view of the next in my career. And the result is outstanding!I highly recommend the Arielle team and will use them again in the future.

In 2020, my world changed when COVID-19 struck; I found myself out of work and transitioning from being a self-employed consultant to wanting to be a part of a team again. I applied for roles throughout 2020 and had no success (granted, it was the pandemic, and the world had stopped). During this time, I decided that I would engage Arielle in the hope of crafting my career story to date and package it up into something potential employers would understand and ultimately want to interview me. But that was just the beginning. I got so much more; working with Arielle, my story and confidence grew, as did potential employers' interest. The career meditation takes time and thought to get done, but it was very worth it as once you come to have your consultation with one of the team members, they have already begun drafting my story. This made the phone consultation a great experience as I started to see and hear all my work experience coming together into a cohesive personal brand for myself. Having my story and my brand and a greater awareness of roles I could apply for, I can clearly see a career pathway for myself.Fast-forward to 2022. I was at a juncture to move roles, and it was a no-brainer to use Arielle again for my updated resume, LinkedIn profile, and rebrand. This time around, I was applying for higher-level roles, and I was able to achieve this goal with the help again from the Arielle team. Finally, in 2024, I will be updating my resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn again to ensure my brand is current and ready for the next opportunity.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Arielle Executive for the second time, and once again, they exceeded my expectations. My first engagement was in 2019 and I was pleased to be able to work with the same team nearly 5 years later.Phillipa's expertise and dedication to her craft were evident from the very beginning. She took the time to understand my career goals, experiences, and unique strengths, ensuring that every aspect of my personal brand was accurately and compellingly represented. Her insightful questions and thoughtful feedback helped to uncover and highlight aspects of my professional journey that I hadn't previously considered, adding significant value to my resume.One of the standout aspects of working with Phillipa was her ability to translate my experiences into a powerful narrative that truly set me apart. She has an exceptional talent for crafting resumes that are not only visually appealing but also rich in content, making my qualifications and achievements shine. The final product was a polished, professional resume that immediately had an increase in engagement and helped me secure my next role.Having used Arielle Executive's services twice now, I can confidently say that they consistently deliver outstanding results. The team at Arielle Executive have a remarkable ability to elevate personal branding to new heights, making it an invaluable investment for anyone serious about their career progression.Thanks team Arielle.

When I first engaged Arielle Executive I wasn't sure where I wanted to take my career. From my first contact with MD, Irene McConnell, I was filled with confidence in their approach. Irene discussed their range of services and the process for each stage and patiently answered my long list of questions. I opted for the Business Package, which included brand discovery coaching, full resume, LinkedIn profile, cover letter and elevator pitch. Though initially I wasn't sure where I wanted to land career-wise, I found the pre-coaching career mediation very useful to reflect on my achievements, skills, and likes and dislikes about previous roles. My Branding Consultant, Leanne Elliot, was just brilliant. She delved deep with good questions to draw out things I hadn't consciously considered, and led me through a narrative development exercise to help identify the path I wanted to take, and ultimately, to build my brand. The result was a concise, yet compelling narrative threaded throughout the final collateral, and a strong professional brand I am excited about. The first position I applied for secured an interview (my first in many years), and I was the successful candidate. I can't recommend Arielle enough to any leader or executive seeking clarity and a strong brand to take the next step in their career. The investment is worth every cent. In terms of time investment, your effort and engagement in the process will determine the end result, so I recommend trusting the process and going deep! Thank you to Leanne for your patience and guidance, and to Irene and her great team!
