Noreen has amassed vast expertise beyond her years and gave me coaching advice and support that has not only helped shaped my career but also helped me to develop and grow as a person – I am eternally grateful - Thanks !!”

“Valerie was excellent to work with. She was really professional and gave really good advice and suggestions on where I should next progress to in my career. She also helped to get my CV in order, would highly recommend her to anyone looking for guidance and advice when looking for different career choices.”

"Having been made redundant and wishing to change direction in my career of over 20 years, I approached Avril to restructure my Curriculum Vitae. What I received was so much more. Avril was quick to realise my areas of strength and encouraged me to use them to redirect my CV and have it appeal to a different market sector. She also helped me identify opportunities and suitable roles which I would never have considered without her expertise and industry knowledge. Beyond her professional advice, I found her support and encouragement invaluable and it afforded me a positive outlook when I began actively seeking employment. I am now happily employed again in a full time management role, Avril’s consultation was certainly instrumental in helping me secure that position."

“Following my departure from Logitech after 21.5 years, I was given an introduction to Valerie in order to support my career search. The advice and support provided by Valerie exceeded all expectation, during a very challenging period. Valerie outlined a road map on several fronts; this included a detailed review of my CV, as assessment of strengths and weakness, best practice techniques for interview preparation. At all times I found Valerie to be really professional, and utmost for me was the continued encouragement at all stages of my job search. Valerie was available at short notice to offer advice at each stage of the interview process. Valerie also provided excellent career guidance to my eldest son, who will do his leaving cert next year. Valerie had several sessions with Daniel, following which he felt he had broader knowledge to consider career choices available.”

"I would really like to thank Noreen. She went out of her way to meet me at short notice and really gave me the confidence and belief in myself that I had what it took. An excellent service and I would highly recommend it to anyone."

"I met with Valerie when I was transitioning between roles and I was impressed with the support she gave right throughout the recruitment process. She genuinely takes an interest in getting the most out of an individual and highlighted to me the key areas to concentrate on. I found Valerie professional, very easy to deal with and would highly recommend her."

"I recently needed to completely change my career path and contacted Avril Quinn. During my first meeting with Avril I grew ten foot taller as she identified so many skills that would be transferable as I went forward. Avril helped me to produce a wonderful CV and cover letter along with setting goals for my future. Together with being a total professional Avril is one of the most pleasant and endearing people that I have ever met….a wonderful person. I am happy to say that, because of Avril, I am now going in a fantastic and exciting new direction. Thank you so much Avril Quinn."

"My daughter recently availed of the Service provided by Positive Career Options. As a second level student, approaching Leaving Certificate, she had difficulty deciding on a third level course which matched her talents. She met with Noreen who provided a comprehensive psychometric and aptitude evaluation, followed up with one to one feedback. This was done in a thoroughly professional way and Noreen's very engaging communication style put our daughter at ease immediately. Noreen then provided a written report, which gave us great insight into where our daughter's talents and skills lie and gave her direction and focus around specific career choices and courses. I would highly recommend Positive Career Options for their high level of professionalism and experience in this area."
