Client Testimonials
KGT Consulting provided a workshop about CV-building and career planning for several students of our student organisation Socrates Honours Society Amsterdam.
She gave us tips on how to actually plan our careers, but also on how to find what we love to do.
Overall, the workshop has been very motivating for the students. If you want to have practical tips on how to further your career, but also want to get motivated and inspired, I would certainly recommend KGT Consulting!”
“During our final project conference held in Sweden, Karen Gordon gave the Future Career Workshop to our international PhD students.
This hands-on workshop, teaching them how to write the perfect CV and cover letter plus how to present yourself during an interview, was very detailed and complete.
All our PhD students were very satisfied, they got a clearer view of how to plan their future career and really feel that their application skills have improved. A very good job done!”
“I believe I have benefited greatly from Karen’s experience and tips. Karen made an extra effort to tailor her advice to my specific field of practice and level of experience. The insights from KGT Consulting workshops helped me to draft the right CV and motivation letter to receive 4 interview invitations before I graduated.
The skills taught in Karen’s workshops provided me with excellent guidelines on how to succeed in a job interview in The Netherlands. After taking Karen’s workshops I received an internship in an Embassy, a temporary project in an international company and the job I wanted two weeks prior to my graduation.”
