About Me
Giving you the clarity, confidence and control you need
I'm Suzie. Your career coach, job search partner and expert CV/LinkedIn profile writer. I help brilliant people like you to get the interviews they want, new jobs they love and the life they deserve.
I understand Sunday night dread.
The feeling of frustration, being stuck or wanting more.
I spent 17 years in HR, leadership and talent development in the private, public and charity sectors where I reviewed hundreds of job applications and interviewed dozens of candidates. I have coached senior leaders, supported multiple teams through redundancy and managed corporate recruitment campaigns.
I know the hiring process - and how tough it can be.
I've been where you are, too: in 2016, after 14 years with one company, I decided it was time for a change. It was far harder than I had anticipated - the truth was, my CV wasn't opening doors. After countless redrafts, edits and late nights, I finally hit on a powerful method that blends the art of writing with the principles of behavioural science. I landed a life-changing role and four years later I left it to help others do the same: The CV Bee was born.
So why work with me?
The last time I searched "career coach" on LinkedIn it threw up 144,000 results ("CV writer" is a whopping 1.6 million!). That's a lot of choice. I'm glad you found me.
Having been a senior manager in Operations, HR and Digital disciplines before setting up my business, I understand your world. I have first-hand experience engaging at a senior level in complex organisations, and a deep appreciation of the challenges and rewards that leaders face.
Combining accreditations in people practice, leadership & management and CV writing, I have the insight to help you drive your career forward - I'm a Level 7 IoL qualified Executive Coach (since 2017), a member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development (CIPD), a Chartered Fellow of the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) and a Member of the British Association of CV Writers (BACVW).
I also know the market and how to position you in it: alongside CV writing, I actively conduct candidate assessments and interviews for specialist recruitment firms, which keeps me up to date with the latest recruitment practices.
Then there's my English degree. Finally put to good use - accurate spelling, sensible grammar and carefully chosen wording come as standard on your CV and LinkedIn profile.
And finally, rest assured that I'm a legit, non-scammy, UK-based and ICO-registered business.
Ready to be ready?
Since 2020 I have helped over 350 professionals find focus and secure opportunities with big-name companies including Nike, Harrods, Dyson, Thomson Reuters, GCHQ, Heineken and the BBC.
Big things happened to them; you could be next.
