Thulakshi, Strategy Consultant - MS Amlin
“When I came to FO Perspectives I knew I wanted to work in the world of strategy. However I felt like I didn’t have the right experience, but this is where the service was excellent.
He was great at listening and pulling out the key details from my experiences. The best thing was how my skills were framed in an impactful and succinct way as that was something I struggled to do myself.
Prior to using the services, I had applied for jobs and not received any responses However after using the services I made two applications for which I made it to the final stages for both and received an offer!
I can’t fault how amazing the support was, it was instrumental in landing my role. I ended up getting an offer for a Strategy Analyst and doubling my salary from 30k to 60k. I would highly recommend this service to anyone who is looking for guidance on setting themselves up to be a strong candidate in the job application process!”

“I had been contracting. in admin services for over 8 years and wanted to work in a new sector to challenge myself. I got in touch with FO Perspectives for his CV consultation service which I honestly can not fault.

Jimmy, Tech Strategy - Capgemini
I recently had the pleasure of working with Agbolade from FO Perspectives to review and update my CV in preparation for an upcoming job application. Agbolade was exceptionally knowledgeable about the industry I was applying to and provided invaluable advice throughout the process.
Given the tight timeline, I was impressed with how quickly Agbolade was able to make the necessary changes. He was incredibly accommodating, scheduling multiple calls to ensure that my CV met a high standard and was tailored to my needs.
One of my biggest challenges was shortening my CV while retaining key information. Agbolade offered clear, actionable insights on how to keep my content concise and focused on the most important elements for a one-page CV. Furthermore, he also assisted in refining my two-page CV, demonstrating his expertise and excellent communication skills every step of the way.
Thanks to Agbolade’s swift and thorough assistance, I now have a CV that I am confident will stand out to potential employers. I am thrilled to share that I was offered the job that Agbolade helped me prepare for, and I truly believe his guidance played a significant role in this success.

“ FO Perspectives went above and beyond to help me with my interview prep.
I came to him last minute but by the time our session was on he had researched the department I was hoping to join and provided contemporary examples that set me apart from other applicants.
We walked through my CV and his guidance was clear and concise making the point he coached me on memorable during my interview.
It was clear how knowledgeable he was about the whole interview process from the beginning of our call.
I previously found it very difficult to break out of the education sector, but thanks to FO Perspectives I’ve secured a job at one of the big 4.

P&G: Account Manager
“Just an update from my side, a few weeks ago I received an offer to work as a key account manager at P&G!
to my surprise, the practice we did came in so handy. I had to work through a sales case study during the final stage of the interview process and we covered helped me a lot. I was able to apply the logical thinking process that’s required in consulting cases, so I guess there are some transferable skills I picked up that were beneficial.
Thanks so much for your help!”
